I like to ride my bicycle - for long distances. I have earned the California Triple Crown and finished the Furnace Creek 508. My goals include qualifying for RAAM and ...(read the blog to find out). "The bicycle has a soul. If you are able to love it as it deserves, it will give you emotions you will never forget." "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride."

It has been a difficult week for me. Monday: worked out by myself at the gym and I worked hard. I am trying to single handedly wear out the stair climber. So far it seems to be winning, but I have not given up yet. Tuesday: began to feel sick in the early evening and knew at bed time that I would have to call in sick on Wednesday. Wednesday: called in sick and tried to watch the tour. I was unable to do so as I kept falling asleep. Thursday: feeling much better and went to work. Then, after work I joined the group from Scott's Cycling. As the group turned left from Mill Creek Rd onto Witzel Rd., I head a female voice from behind me exclaim "Ah shit, I remember that hill!". Friday: I had a migraine attack at 8:30 am this morning. As I am car pooling to work, I could not leave and had to tough it out. I would rather ride a 14% hill in 93 ° heat (aka the Central Coast Double) than have a migraine. This weekend, I will join some friends on a credit card packdown to Forest Grove and the Banks-Vernonia Liner Park. It is a three day trip, but I have to work on Monday, so I will have a very long ride on Sunday!
