While perusing the racks at REI for a pair of biking knickers, I rifled through the sale rack of women’s shirts. The below picture is the type of shirts on that rack. Look at this crap! It’s effin’ unholy. Talk about a continuation of the pink theme from my earlier post but this has gone…
For a sport still dominantly inhabited by men, there is a helluva lot of pink in cycling. I think it’s partly due to the TMobile telecom team and their fabulous fuschia kits. While perusing cycling related stuff the other day, I stumbled across the following three items. Although I’m not a huge fan of Specialized,…
So last week people celebrated the day I was cut out of my mother’s body. It really should be a celebration for my mom, who not only had to gestate and birth me, but then put up with me for 18 years. One of my fabulous readers-turned-friend gave me some birthday gifts! I just recently…
Today’s post is merely a link to Cracked.com’s hee-lare-eous article on why the Tour de France is so great to watch. I completely agree with the last three reasons. It’s the reason I watch it! Right up there with hockey! I used to read Cracked (and Mad magazine) all the time as a kid. Good…
So not only is my life extremely interesting, but pretty darn humorous as well.* Here are some putterings from the past two days: –The most dangerous part of my commute is passing the McDonald’s. People swerve across several lines to cut across the bike lane and into the drive through. Then on the other end,…
So for all my griping about bike theft and posting videos about how to lock your bike, I realized today I am a major hypocrite. This is the ONLY bike lock I own. That’s it. And it’s already been chewed/rubbed in half. This is the worst kind of bike lock – one quick snip and…
Interesting timeline of events: 1. Go to ENT because my septum is messed up. ENT pokes at my neck and makes me go get an ultrasound for my thyroid 2. Ultrasound results in ‘go get a biopsy’ 3. Bilateral biopsy occurs. It’s really cool to watch the ultrasound monitor and see needles shoved into my…
I made the mistake of happily ‘complaining’ that my life is nicely boring to someone last week. This is a good thing; my life can be WAY too interesting at times and it gets tiring. Interesting is hard to keep up with. All that changed this Monday. Quick review of the past few days: 7/21…
Oh, Ivan. This delicious Spaniard rides for Euskaltel-Euskadi. Alas! He had a bad crash in Stage 5, broke his collarbone (although was man enough to finish the day), and is out for the rest of the tour (he had to have an operation, ugh). Stage 5 was a rough one, taking down quite a few…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWT8yeHGA0U&feature=youtube_gdata_player GRRRRR A French television car crashed into Juan Antonio Flecha who then hit Johnny Hoogerland who crashed OVER a barbed wire fence. There were only 35km left on the ride and they were hauling in the FRONT group of five. Luis Leon Sanchez took the stage. Hoogerland went to a hospital and was expected…
