Everything hurts. This really fucking sucks. Half of my cycling summer down the drain. I can’t get dressed on my own, I can hardly shower. I can barely type with two hands, and only when not wearing my sling. So glad that this isn’t my right hand all gimpy. […]
No sooner than I got back on, I fell off. In a big way. After turning around somewhere at mile twenty, I was chugging my way home along a very busy trail. Doing my best to keep out of the way, I was riding a bit too close to the right edge […]
Since Vancouver, I’ve been a total slacker. Working out a few days a week, but hardly pushing myself. Coupled with the crummy weather we’ve had this last week, my bike has been severely neglected. At this rate, I’ll never be ready for Flying Wheels coming up so quickly.
Effective today tomorrow, I’m back […]
In the absence of anything original to say, I’ve turned to a ubiquitous book of questions to fill the void. These days I’ve got life pulling me in too many directions, without really feeling like I’m accomplishing much of anything at all.

After so much anxiety building in the last couple of weeks, I was suprisingly calm yesterday morning as we stood at the start line waiting. For the first time in this entire experience I finally felt ready. I was so ready to move beyond all the hype and get it over with. […]
We’re all safely back at home, as Chris and Dillon arrived at the airport this morning. Enjoying some down time before we get back into the swing of things. I’m still pretty stiff today, walking around is a struggle at times. But I made it…barely. Details forthcoming.
I wish there were words to thank all of you for your support. In the past week, I’ve received a number of emails and phone calls of encouragement. Your words have made all the difference.
My Dad and I arrived in Vancouver before noon and with plenty of time to get checked-in and head […]
