PLEASE GO TO MY NEW THYROIDECTOMY SUPPORT SITE AT HTTP://WWW.LIFEWITHOUTATHYROID.COM for support, questions, and updates!! I had brunch with an ex-employee that I hadn’t seen in several years. While trying to downplay my thycan, my partner was like ‘honey, it hasn’t exactly been nothing!”. So it’s been about 1.5 years since my thyroidectomy. Quick recap:…
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a product review, mostly because I haven’t bought anything and the stuff I’ve been given by companies have been lame. I won’t review a sub-par product. Action Wipes reached out to me and sent me their product. My first thought was ‘ok. body wipes. hm.’. But after using them,…
This is the most white I have ever worn in my entire life, and probably will ever wear. I don’t intend on wearing white if I ever get married. ONLY FOR CYCLING WOULD I WEAR THIS MUCH WHITE. By the way, these are the sun sleeves I am wearing. Determined to not go through another…
This last weekend I biked the longest distance since having thyroid cancer. I did the Ride 2 Recovery metric century (62 miles) while on a low carb diet (this link goes to my low carb blog). Click here to see the map and specific ride details on my Garmin cycling stats site. I have the…
The Mulholland climbing madness continues as I train for the Ride 2 Recovery Honor Ride! I dragged my buddy Benzo along for the ride; he just ran the Los Angeles Marathon so needless to say, he is in amazing shape. And yes, I was passed by EVERYONE except someone that was probably around 2.5 times…
I read Dear Abby almost every day. Went to the page to catch up and saw the below new articles: My first thought was ‘OH! Bike related article! Cool!’ and RIGHT before I clicked it I saw the next headline. Woman Refuses To Give Lover The Kind Of Pleasure He Wants How do you NOT…
The other day I biked an (in)famous ride called “The Rock Store ride” by bicyclists and “The Snake” by motorcyclists. It’s a ridiculous road that used to be an old horse-carriage road a century ago, that is now popular with cyclists and motorists for it’s twisty, turny climb. Here are the GPS details of my…
Even with a crappy headcold, I went on a short ride out on Mulholland in Calabasas/Agoura Hills this last weekend (Lat/Long 34.1041, -118.7260). So out on Mulholland on a lovely Saturday afternoon, I have to share the road with not only motorists and motorcyclists vrooming their way through the canyons, but entrepreneurial photographers that take…
I’ve caught kitties eating my cycling food before. I got a random flat tire the other day and couldn’t figure it out; just caught my cat CHEWING ON MY BIKE TIRES!! DAMN RAT! So I quickly put the bike on the bike rack, knocking some cycling clothes onto the floor in the process. What does…
Yes yes, I know ‘wherefore’ means ‘why’, but I’m going to use it BOTH WAYS. Or as they say on the cooking shows, “wherefore, two ways’. I went to go ride today and I had a flat tire. I’ve been having some fails in the bike maintenance department, so this just caused me to get…
