mtb

Chris, Jack, Patrick, Todd and I made it out to the Tosa trails
yesterday. Other than Jack taking us to the house (again) it was a
good ride. Trails were suprisingly dry, with only Harley woods being a
little greasy. It's a good tuneup for my upcoming week of riding in
Memphis, so it's good to know the Paragon will be ready to rock it
Willy style!!!

Today I did nothing. Great Dane 1 was cancelled due to snow. It
probably woulda been rideable, but the wind sucked (actually, blew)
today, so 40min on the rollers was all I could muster.

First team ride and 5 days of riding in Memphis on tap for this week.
Nice!

Yao Ming!

Matty boy got himself hooked up with a sweet ride at the expo
yesterday. He was pretty stoked about it, I'm looking forward to
showing him around!!!

Insane

Willie's hat summed it up tonight!!!

Yea..... There will be no training today. Looks like some hours on the
rollers.

Need to mount tires on the 5.0's, new grips on mtb, and wrap road bars.

Gonna be a nice relaxing day in the Holtman house.

Time suck

So I'm going to try and get this thing going again ...

2.0 hr mtb ride on the Tosa trails today. After an initial hiccup, the
new tubeless setup was sweet. Add in the new 1.75 tires and I was
really putting the Hirt on. Actually, not really.

It's snaining out right now, my creative attempt at snow and rain.

I'm sitting here reading the entire Internet wearing my sweet ass
Supra shoes and hoping Pitt pulls this off bc I can't care less about
bball.

Will I be skiing tomorrow?

Holtman

Who wouldve thought that 23 helmets and 70 tires would fill an entire
car!

Chequamegon

About 500 bikes in front, soon to be another 1500 behind!

I confess, it's me!

Man says he's eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) -- A 54-year-old man says his obsessive-compulsive disorder drove him to eat 23,000 Big Macs in 36 years.

Fifty-four-year-old Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month, continuing a pleasurable obsession that began May 17, 1972 when he got his first car.

Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald's track its number of customers motivated him to track his own consumption.

The only day he skipped a Big Mac was the day his mother died, to respect her request.

The correctional-institution employee says he doesn't care when people call his Big Mac obsession crazy. He says he's in love with the burgers, which are the highlights of his days

That mtb stuff is tough some days. 3.5 hours at the kettles made for a
long am, but sweet ass training.

Went over the bars once, not to hard but my bike landed on me hard. I
lived to ride again.

Weekend Update

I need to ride this weekend big time.

Finished my mtb lights last night, mostly. They are bright as hell, I will post some pics soon.

Will road ride tonight for a bit, possibly mtb tomorrow if trails dry out, and hope to hit the southern kettles on sunday.

Chequamegon is one week from tomorrow. I'm going to be rockin some Bontrager XDX tires I got on ebay this week. I'll need to test them out a few times first to see how they hold.

Other than that, business as usually. Except it's friday, so I had pancaked. Awesome.

SP, meet TR

via Weekly Standard Blog by Matthew Continetti on 9/3/08

The Wall Street Journal's letters page today contains a fascinating nugget: "Under 45, lover of the outdoors, a Republican reformer who has taken on the Republican Party establishment, has many children, and a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office - you describe Teddy Roosevelt in 1900 and Sarah Palin in 2008."

Just one sip of saphire and tonic makes my night.

Justin works while I supervise. I think it's a good working arrangement.

What to do today

Why do I do my best thinking in the tub?

Going to give this blog thing another try for the 4th time.

Mtb'd yesterday and sat for a total of 6 hours. Legs are toast, but I
did make spaghetti out of 'noodles' yesterday. Need to get that there
cx bike up and running today. Chequamegon in 2 weeks. Would like to
see a sub 2:35 time. We'll see.

Will be down in so mo most of today at the step kid and the lizard
providing managerial support to his painting efforts.

Tub just got cold, gotta refill.

2008 Cycling Science Symposium Presentations

2008 Cycling Science Symposium Presentations: "2008 Cycling Science Symposium Presentations"


Wow ... check this link out. A link to about 20 cycling related presentations given at the Serotta Cycling Institute. Don't know what that is, but I read through a few of the presentations and they are very VERY interesting. I'm going to have to look at my own bike fit after reading through some of these.
