I am fighting to keep a positive attitude and to get this crappy feeling from my gut. I’m not motivated to ride, or go out and am actually rather successful at not sitting in my chair staring at the TV all day. But what I am getting done is surprising me. If you know me [...]
Not so much when it happened but after. After I got to the office and when I got home that night. Oh and the next day, but mostly that night. Riding my bike onto the office on Monday morning I was cruising along Fountain Ave. up to the light at Normandie. The cars were in [...]
I am posting this for 2 reasons: Reason #1: This is an awesome photograph. It tells the story in a way, as a former photojournalist, we always strive. Poignant, strong and with all the elements. A short caption can fill in the few missing pieces. Reason #2: As a bicyclist this story MUST be broadcast, [...]
I went on a mountain bike ride on my ‘regular’ route this morning. I haven’t been on my mountain bike much lately and this was the first time I have been on it since the Station Fire. I guess technically I wasn’t supposed to be up there, but there weren’t any gates and I had [...]
Today was one of those days that if I didn’t have 2 border collies that make me get out of the house I probably wouldn’t have. I wish I didn’t feel guilty about not doing anything, but I do even when I probably shouldn’t. The weather was outstanding today and I basically wasted it in [...]

Today I started out with the intention of riding the 55 mile version of the Tour de Palm Springs. The weekend started OK, I got out of the office at a reasonable time on Friday, loaded up the car and got Beag to the vet for boarding and was on my to Palm Springs before [...]
The saga of my mountain bike continued this week. I am still lucky enough to not have to buy new wheel(s), as I said in an earlier post but but I am still going to end up spending close to that aforementioned $600. The repair of the wheel is going to be around $250. A [...]

When I talked to the guy at Incycle about my rear wheel on Saturday afternoon he basically said I’d have to replace my wheel and since it was a set, I decided I would buy both and keep it matched. Damn this was going to be expensive. Once I decided what I was going to [...]
