Started to head up to the Zoo, but ran into a couple teammates from Cutthroat Racing. Turned around and rode with them down through Holladay, up past the Old Mill to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Dan & Mike headed up the canyon, and I turned left and headed along Wasatch [...]

Poetry Friday (for H.)

From I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC

This is the female form;   A divine nimbus exhales from it from head to foot;   It attracts with fierce undeniable attraction!   I am drawn by its breath as if I were no more than a helpless vapor—        all falls aside but myself and it; Books, [...]

I’m enjoying this.

Legs felt good today, lungs and heart rate less so … had to hit the inhaler a couple of times, and my pulse never once dropped below 135; most of the time it was hovering around 160; and really the only thing that really brought it down that low was the lower [...]

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM – GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Mary, this station is playing every sad song. I remember like we were alive. I heard it Sunday morn’ from inside of these walls. In a prison cell, where we spent those nights. And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her. Licking young [...]

Sometimes rules really suck

Three riders got DQed in the Pro/1/2 race at the Sugarhouse Criterium today. Why? Because the Husla was standing on the side of the course handing out dollar bills to anyone who could grab them as they rode by.

The rule under which they were DQed is 3D6. “Feeding is not allowed unless specifically authorized [...]
