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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Damn Tire

I bought a new tire and tube last night and so far it’s not working out. I installed the tire and tube fine and I went on my way on my ride and in less than 5 minutes I felt a bump in my ride. Every revolution I felt a bump. I stopped when it [...]

Late Harbor Ride

Tonight I decided that I was way bored and, and, and I am very distracted right now, haha. I’m watching Superbad streamed to my Xbox 360 on Netflix and it is HILARIOUS. Anyways a friend and I went on a late night ride starting at the Dana Point harbor and we rode about 9 miles [...]

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 [...]
