Bye bye Bikram – biking’s better

I quit my 30-day challenge after 10 days. It was basically sucking. For reasons I don’t want to begin to speculate about, going to an hour and a half of yoga in a hot room every day started to make me feel very stressed, and I manifested every symptom of major depression! And unfortunately, I [...]

Another song

This came on on iPod as I was driving home from JP in the rain. Happy that it wasn’t me waiting for the tow truck at the entrance to route 2 like the poor sod in the BMW.
New Order, Truth.
Other observations:
Runaways cover bands for prez.
I miss BJ.

30-day Bikram yoga challenge, one fifth done? It’s going okay. I am not sore after every class like I would be if I went my normal once, twice, or three times a week. I get up in the morning and my hips aren’t stiff like they usually are. It is clear to me that one [...]

30 days

I’m going to do a 30-day challenge at my yoga studio. By that I mean, 30 classes in 30 days. Normally the studio organizes these things for group participation, and it doubles as a fundraiser. I thought it might be interesting to try, but hadn’t had an opportunity. I’m always too busy riding, after all, [...]

They had secured a date on the calendar for the 2008-2009 season, but had to cancel when sponsorship fell through. The group hopes to combine the World Cup competition with a bike and wellness expo and amateur races, and is [...]

“I’m in the lane like a car, what are you?”

That, shouted at a cyclist who befuddled me today. I feel bad about shouting at cyclists. But here’s the scenario:
I was at a large four-way intersection. Each set of lights has two forward lanes, one right turn lane, and one left turn lane. And a major bikeway is located on opposite sides of the straightaway. [...]

I have a new mission

Post daily. Yes.
But sometimes I go to yoga and then eat lots of food and get into the wine and I don’t have a thought in my head. So instead I have an noisy art rock song for you all. I don’t even know if I like it. I just offer it.
Casy and Brian. “House [...]

Gloucester!

I worked at the shop all day on Saturday so was forced to miss the mud-fest that apparently marked the first day of racing at the Gran Prix of Gloucester. Looking at the photos, it appears to have been one of those days that “cycling journalists” like to deem “epic.” I still maintain that the [...]

It is freaky freaky freaky

… when I save things that remind me of something, but later I can’t remember what they remind me of. It’s like my brain has an itch that I can’t scratch. Oh well, relegated to the recycling bin after all.
I had nothing better to do last night than drink beer and rearrange shit in my [...]
