A Little Change of Plans

As I stated in a previous post, I ordered my new bike on Sunday. The shop owner assured me that he would call me Monday (yesterday) to let me know when the bike would arrive. He actually never did call me on Monday, I had to call him in the evening. He told me that [...]

Dana Point Grand Prix!

Not much crazy news going on as of late, but I do want to mention that I have reached a very big milestone in my weight-loss. The infamous 50 lbs! That’s right, 50 lbs. As a gift, something that I’ve been talking about in past posts, my dad has purchased for me, a brand new [...]

Marine Base or Bust!

Yesterday I went on a great ride. I packed up my bike, some food and gear and went down to the Dana Point harbor. My plan was to ride from there down the coast to the marine base, past the San Onofre State beach and nuclear plant. Everything was all set and I left the [...]

Adventerous Fail Whale

A friend and I attempted to go on a big ride today. Maybe not big for some but definitely my biggest yet. It was a bit of a fail whale though :/. You Twitter people out there will know what that is, haha. Anyways we started off a little late but if we had left [...]

A Few Little Upgrades

I know haven’t posted in a while but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been keeping up with my program! First off I’m proud to say that I’ve dropped a total of 40 pounds so far since the first week of January 2009. It’s kind of a big thing because I’ve never lost that much [...]

2009 Amgen Tour of California!

Today was pretty exciting. A couple friends and I went down to Escondido to watch the ending of the Stage 8 of the Amgen Tour of California road cylcing race. While the city is a little… eh, imo, the place was packed and full of energy. Lucky us, we got a spot right up on [...]

What the Hell?!

This is getting ridiculous. I have such bad luck some times and this bike is like a bad luck magnet. Don’t get me wrong, It’s a great starter road bike and it’s actually not the bike, it’s just me. A couple friends and I went on a ride just now starting at the Ocean Institute. [...]

Awesom Breaking News!

    I’m still here everyone! Don’t get scared, I just haven’t had anything new to add here. Until now. A couple thing actually, first the non-breaking news. A friend recommended that I try a site called mapmyride.com. It’s a pretty cool site actually. You register for free and you can use the map (uses google [...]

Mystery Solved?

Maybe. After hitting up a coffee sesh at Harbor House with a friend we came back to my house and looked at my damn tire. I told him the problem and even demonstrated how the tire comes off, and since he’s been riding more than me I figured he’d have a little inside tip on [...]
