start drying out? its possible. I rode in today with out the Sugoi jacket on or the Pearl Izumi pants! Could be getting there. Even the puddles seemed smaller and managable.
Fingers crossed, but even if ol'Mother Nature is listening i'm fuckin riding. Screw this shit... BUT unless the roads are bone freaking dry i'm not riding the Klein YET... i just cleaned it (three weeks ago it seems) and i ain't about to start it off getting dirty for a BLVD circuit.... i don't need the lighter weight for that ride... maybe i'll bust it out for the PVelo Time Trial on Thursday...
The Giro coverage hasn't started yet it seems.. just some Live RAI TV with a Blond walking around and talking.
here's a question... Why do most of these euro folks walk around and talk or at least sit all visible? Not hiding behind a desk? Just curious...
Caught a bit of NOVA last night... and for what its worth... the particulates they are talking about are mostly gasser and power plant. Diesel particulate is a fair bit bigger (nulceating) and the Haze is the reaction of gasoline emissions with nitrogen oxides... or at least that's what i think it is... i don't know anymore... although i do know that Biodiesel has nearly zero sulfur (a huge component for nucleation both in soot/particulate formation in diesel and gas combustion) and the oxygenated nature of the fuel helps even more over regular diesel. Anyway... its a good answer... and its here and now... not down the road....
That's done and over...
Pretty much have ruled out N. Stonington this sunday... no miles, gonna be way out on the Cape Saturday on my feet hanging out... maybe down the road a bit i'll get in one of these nice 35+ 5 races.
The Giro is back on today (if your head is totally burried in the sand)
media.rai.it Giro Feed
Baso has a totaly hysterical smirk...
Diggin through loads of digital pics i can't find one set and its bugging the literalshitoutame... but looking back at ALL the pics from michigan and the stuff... there's some good scenery and now i have a nice record of the good parts...
And like that old saying goes... do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. I finally feel like that. here. its fantastic.
WOOOOOOOOO just found em... Freaking HUGE sigh of relief... not that its different than not finding negatives or prints and wondering what happened to them... at least digitally i KNOW they were somewhere and generally i never delete images so its just a damn matter of where the hell the shit it. Time for an external HD... that or a better organization system.
I kinda thought there was somethin else that was buggin me that i wanted to get off my chest... i can't think of it now.
One of the more prolific posters to the Bike to Brown email list got a nice write up in the Phoenix:
http://thephoenix.com/article_ektid12135.aspx
worth a read if you haven't seen it yet. And ya know i'd be lying if i wasn't jealous of Connie and Kerry... getting written up as 'super commuters' but i'll also be the first to say, my commute is pretty silly short, no stretch of a challenge, heck the gal downstairs walks to work, just about the same distance (sometimes she takes the bus i think).
Heck even Jack from the Hub gets a quote or two... nto to boast but honestly i've had enough quotes and press clippings to last a lifetime. Between growing up in the edges of a media spot light as a musical family, and the Biodiesel stuff in michigan my yearning for 15 minutes has been satisfied, and i'm just happy to see some good positive press for the cyclists.
Oh crap - the Ride of Silence is tomorrow... even if you can't get out, try and observe a moment of silence at 7pm...
The graphics from the riders is cool, 187 HR 95% max and speed 28 km/hr... at least thats what Gomez's stats where... cool stuff in a way... excessive in another... but you can be assured that these guys going up hill are actually working...
My standing form/strength is definately getting better... this trailer is kick ass for strength... now to hope i can find some speed with it someday... but that would mean I actually need to ride more than two and from work...
Oh the conflict stuff (how to challenge and bridge the gap without making it worse - but also to do it without seeming like a freaking pushover peacenik hippie). I had a few thoughts on the way home last night, riding... but seem to be unable to recall them... Freaking hell Lampre is driving the train... someone must a missed a break... DOH... sucks to be them...
Oh and what's this? Il Brucie is correcting my ride of silence info... appearantly RI wants it to happen at 6pm... interesting... well none-the-less... at least keep it in mind.
peace...

PS...
PPS...
pez fullstory 4011 nice read with some science about cadence... something i've been playing with in my head since its started to drop... also seems to make sense... 90 has always felt good to me... maybe there is a biomechanical reason? But then since i haven't had a cadence option on the bike for 8+ years... well maybe i have no clue (shuddup back there in the peanut gallery)
PPPS...
yeah one of these days i'll just start a new entry:
i did a quick seach for that newest article mentioned in the PEZ article...
found this stuff google scholar is coooooooool
