Los Gatos- Cafe Sienna Sat 8:30 am group ride




I'm looking forward to this weekend, got a friend in from New Hampshire making the ride. Cool. Tracey sent out an invite to some gals too, double cool. Hope some show up.

This weekend we'll do the same as on the first week. Los Gatos, Kenedy, Camden, Trinadad, Uvas/McKean to Watsonville.

Then the shorter version (55 miles round trip from LG) goes left. The longer version (75+) goes up Madona and either back 152 via Poleline or the studs go the distance to Corolitos and back up Eureka to Summit, then down Old SJ to Los Gatos.

Ciao from Vail.

Kangaroo cookie jar!!!!!


Anon said some boohhooo kangaroo got busted for taking a drug that makes you say no to the krispy creams, yes to the masking agents, whatever, he's been under my suspicion for years.

Anon squeaks out a warm burst of air that is silent but deadly..."
I really think you all are over reacting.

He is a good guy and I am surprised you are all not defending him, I know that his team mates all have used the same hunger knocker as he did, and you all kiss up to their ass when you talk to them." Anon


Thats interesting...so....all of Healthnet goes clear, while only the leader gets popped...didn't O somebody get busted already?

More testing please...

Thats just fucking bullshit!

Kiss my ass anon.

One more week,

I've been having some fun selling vino in Sedona and then went to the Grand Canyon.

Was bummed to miss the Los Gatos ride, Tracey said a few came to ride.

Sorry I missed it, it will be cool to get this ride going.

See you Sat!

I think I'll be riding in Denver, Aspen and Vail this week. That is if the Break Away is working.

Hear there is rain in the North Bay....could be some fun on the Mt Bike on sunday.

later.

Three little pigs, tarantulas, and a angel fish.




This week has been an animal adventure.

When we were riding yesterday we saw three little pigs that got clobbered by some driver on Uvas, I felt bad they were on the smaller side - mama pig and papa pig must have been a little quicker. I didn't stop to take a picture, earlier in the week I bought a angel fish and a fish tank for Tracey, she was under whelmed..oops, and now these tarantulas are crossing the road maybe if I wasn't so scared of snakes and spiders I'd bring one of them home.

Still wrapping up the house, who knew that a one inch difference with a sink could put this job site on hold for 6 weeks...anyhow, should be done in a couple of weeks, I mean really done. And this is a picture of a very expensive waterfall...

We also painted the Casa, gave it a fresh coat in one day.

All this work = I get to play on my bike for as much as I want in a couple of weeks, and Reany gets the month of Dec to screw off too. We will be doing some long distance rides for sure.


The first of the Los Gatos weekly rides was a sucess,we had a great ride yesterday PROMAN, San Jose, AMD, BPG, Strawberries, and of course a few national and world record holding Morgan Spinely's went for a great ride. No big throw downs, just chatting it was very very cool.

Then Tracey and I went on a romantic romp to Performance bike....I go about twice per year for cables, tubes, etc. Well.........
la de dahhh, we went looking for some bullhorns and found, much to my gleee on the closeout table some fancy new star spangled cinelli bar tape for sale...who knew...I was so excited and a bit embarrsed at the same time. I was pondering if it was "politically correct "...not so masculine?

Screw it! I'll buy them all. (only two) for $3.00 each what a deal, one for the TT rig and the other for the new SL2. It should match the newMS/TS Capt. America kit that I'll wear out until I give it another go at Masters Nationals in July in KY, get out a tube of lube.

Then I hear that there will be a chance that Masters Nationals may be here in San Jose....shit, HELLYES!!!!! To be able to race Nationals and stay in my own bed, I must be dreaming????

Off road fun




Happy birthday to me... I just got a sweet new Stumpjumper. I'll be a little more careful then when I had a mountian bike 20 years ago, but should be fun exploring the Los Gatos hills.

Specialized rocks!

My first quake



I've been here for 10 years and have never really felt any earthquakes until about 8pm last night. The house was shaking, lights were swaying, & Tracey says get under the door jam. No damage, but I haven't checked the wine room yet.
