20lbs Lighter

Well I’m sad to say that I haven’t ridden my bike in about a week. I just haven’t had enough time since last Tuesday to take a look at the tire and try and fix it. Oh well, it’s disappointing but I’ve been getting in a lot of cardio in other ways. I also missed [...]

Ripped a New One :/

So last night on my night ride I must have damaged my tire in that little scuffle I had with the curb. When I was prepping my bike today for the beach I noticed a 1/2″ tear in the tread and I saw that I was able to fold it up and expose the tube. [...]

Nice BALL

So, I decided to buy an exercise ball today.  I wasn’t sure at first but I first heard of using it the way that I’m using it by listening to/watching Leo Laporte and his TWiT shows. He, and now I, use an exercise ball at our desks instead of using a comfy executive chair. In [...]

Little Loop

Went on a brief ride today with my g/f. We did a little loop that I like to do sometimes. You start at the fire station in Laguna Niguel and you take the asphalt trail all the way down to Chaparossa Park. After, you take the long road to Niguel Road and you take Niguel [...]

Sidewall Sadness

I had a great ride today! I hauled some SERIOUS ass. I’m very happy that I beat my “to” the beach time from my house by about 5 minutes. I’ve knocked it down to about 23mins. Now that ain’t half bad. I woke up pretty early today, well, early by my standards, 9:45a to do [...]

Intense and a Half

Wow, great workout today. Same riding route to the beach as always but with a couple different things thrown in. This time a couple of my friends came along for the ride. We had a good 3 man sesh hittn’ the beach trail. There are good and bad thing with riding in a group when [...]

Nothing Special

Went on a ride today after work and I was planning on riding my bike to the gym. About 2.5 miles to the gym, 8 miles on the stationary and then 2.5 back. Sounds good right? Only thing is that it helps to bring the bike lock with you. So, half way there I remembered [...]

One tube, two tubes, 3 tubes POP!

Zomg, another tube popped. Now, I think I got it 100% taken care of this time. I was all ready to head out and take the bike to the beach early this afternoon and when I started to pack the bike up, I noticed that the front tire was flat again. I almost expected it, [...]

A Little Bad Luck

So today was supposed to be filled with wonder and joy as my g/f, friend, friend’s g/f and I go on a fun group bike ride. Little did I know, we would have a few bumps in the road ahead. It all started when my g/f forgot her shoes at home when she was supposed [...]

Success!!!

Well, weighed myself and I am very happy with my 1st weeks success.  It’s a record breaker in fact, for most weight lost on week one of starting my diet/workout plan. I lost 9lbs. W00t for me! Ususally the first week is around 5 but this time I owe it all to my bike [...]
