Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Busy night last night. Meeting afterschool, stop at the bike shop to drop off some more flyers and then hit Spier Falls. Got home for a late dinner, quick check of the e-mail to arrange MTB Weekend and our trip to Montreal, shower and bed.

Today, I brought my bike to school becuase I have an appointment right after school and then I am hitting the trails.

'morning.

Cleaned the heck out of my house last night. Worked out. Watched The Simpsons. Ate burritos.

Not necessarily in that order.

The girlfriend's parents are coming over for a grill-fest tonight. Should be a good time.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to you too...

Mornin' Y'all.

Went to see the Dr last night about my knee. Good new was he found no damage, said it was a reaction to overuse. Guess that was a no brainer. Bad news is that I need to rest it for 1-2 weeks and then take it easy after that or risk irritating it again. This kind of makes all the ass-busting I have been doing the past 4 months for 24 hour races worthless. But I will just have to see how things work out.

Good Job IAB and Good Morning Monkeys.

Going for a road ride tonight with MBC and Laura. MBC - were you able to use Laura's address to map out a good route? If not, I was thinking maybe we could leave from Laura's house - get over to Rt. 4 and then ride along Huckleberry Hill Road in Avon and then down into Collinsville and then maybe loop it back to Burlington via 179 is it and Rt4.

Excellent - Did I give you my work e-mail address too?

Don't think so.

Echo's name is John S. right?

I did plan for that! I wore four layers on top and was plenty warm upstairs....it was my HANDS that were freezing. I eventually warmed up and had to peel a layer and stuff it in my pocket.

My legs feel fine. 21 miles isn't that much on the road. Yeah, ask me again tomorrow.

in all my running around I forgot the atlas. I'll print some good maps today. I don't know how far we are going to be able to do - what do you figure, an hour and a half if we leave at 6?

Interesting , when I had the "overuse " syndrome 10 years ago , They had me do 6 weeks of PT to strengthen the other muscles that don't get strengthened by cycling.

 

[TreeSaw]

Don't think so.

Yupper. I won't get my home e-mail until later tonight so if you need me right away, I can either send you my work address or you can PM me.

good job Baboon!

Westy, kinda sucks but could have been a lot worse!

Red Stripe jerk pork taco, BBQ chicken taco, sweet potato fries and many Paulaner Hefe-weizen's

G'mornin!

Yesterday I received news privately of my promotion to an official "supervisor/manager" type person in the company. The raise was not what I expected, and today I will need to speak to my boss about how odd it seems that I will seemingly be paid less than the people he's having me supervise (7% raise...seems small don't it?).

Went to Yoga last night....had a different teacher, so far she's my favorite. When you're laying on your stomach trying hard to slow your racing heart and prepare yourself for the next set, she walks around the room and steps on your feet to give you a foot massage!! Felt so amazing!

Tonight - off to the local Tom Bihn store to see the bags in person (thanks to the person who posted that link yesterday!)

I had that same problem three years ago. Been doing the prescribed exercises religeously since. Doc actually said my knee seemed to be 100% better shape than it was a few years ago.

Definately could have been worse, I have psoriasis which give me a high risk of developing degenerative arthritis.

Your making me hungry, so very hungry.

Sorry I was just taking you're e-mail off the DECK PARTY e-mail.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!!

My fridge is totally stuffed with mint & limes!
Tonight it's mexican food, maragritas & mojitos, and then saturday it's mint juleps.
I guess I should try to squeeze in a ride friday, huh?

1-2 weeks rest really isn't that bad. Considering what could have been, I agree that it's good news. This means you'll still be at Dalton.

Good for you on both the promotion, and standing up for yourself RE: the raise!

We can probably do 20 or so don't you think? Maybe more? Gotta take into account the hills in Burlington!

Just got back from a funeral in Massachusetts - drove right by both 'Nam and Borderlands, but no time to ride.

Next time...

Mornin Stosh.

Not much to report on today... just had a big sit down with the office head honcho. Having a party at lunch today... hopefully I'll be able to sneak out with some pizza and cookies without actually having to talk to anyone.

mornin.

 

[SilentJ]

'mornin...rode to work today for the first time in like 2 weeks. First commute with my fancy new bike computer.

Some asshat bimmer pilot figured that he owned the road and was all yelling at me. I was making a left and he pulls up on my right yelling....I was tempted to squirt some water into his car, but didnt and just turned. :mumble:

 

[Echo]

My feeble brain is focused entirely on the prospect of seeing my new road bike today. I hope it gets here!
