I try to do a little satire and it falls flat. I won’t be trying that again soon.
And on to other things … I meant to go riding this weekend but the weather didn’t cooperate too well. Saturday I had stuff to do so I set up Sunday to ride — even had a babysitter for the kids. However, it rained until noon and I didn’t really feel like riding in the rain and then had obligations in the afternoon and evening. I was also going to get up and ride this morning but it was raining again. I’ll get back into the swing of things this week.
Two years ago, I came into Memorial Day in worse shape than I am now and still managed to get things together and have a decent season. If I can get my schedule working, I can do it again. Here’s what I’ll do this week:
- Get up a half hour earlier three days during the week and run
- Pass on the extra snacks and desserts
That’s my plan. Can I stick to it? Yes, I can.

Stick to the charts and more technical writing. Yeah. Definitely.

not just CX mag – but bicycling (interview) and a place that used to be held holy for folks like Brother Maynard… back pages of v/news…
You’re just a few sentences short of a well crafted copycat.
Heck add a Boston Craigslist to the mix, the one I found a while back. 62 cross check frame and fork $350 (or was it $300). At least 3 years old and beat up. And a new one costs $380 shipped from an online store to anyone?
Crosscheckdex isn’t a bad thing… leave out that NYC web logger’s style and ya got entertainment w/o trying…
plan sounds good… i should probably get one…

And for those that might have been away for the weekend, I actually changed the banner to read “Cross Snob PDX.”

How about a chart that shows the percentage of cross racers who can’t seem to go for a ride in a spring rain but run around local parks at 7 am in the dark, with a bike on their shoulder under showers of 33f slush in December? I think that would be insightful.

Looking for a few ore watts?
some sort of homage to the State south of your little river there?
or you going for the geologic reference?
or did ya just forget the ‘m’

Actually, I’d have been more excited about riding in the rain if it weren’t for the snot rockets and rattly cough I’ve still got kicking around. And it’s also pretty easy to bail out on riding in the rain when there is a host of other stuff that needs to get done as well.
I did go out for a ride today though.

Yeah– Riding in the cursed rain might not be so bad if not for the super-slick rubbery stuff around some railroad crossings. I tried to hop over one and came down short. My rear slid out to the left and i put my right foot down and ground away the instep of my Sidi. Grr. Fortunately I didn’t crash. But it was like “Yeeehaw!!” for a second.
