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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
