View Larger Map First time on the bike in just over a month … and I suffered like the fat pig that I am, at least while turning the pedals. The downhills were a joy … it’s kind of nice being able to hit 40mph on a descent without having to work. Rode with Bart [...] View Ascent activity on 17-Jan-11 at 10:51AM in a larger map With apologies to Gene Autry: Back in the saddle again Spinning my legs like a fiend, Where the fixed-gear riders roll, On the goddamned chip seal roads. Oh, I’m back in the saddle again. Whoopi-ty-aye-oh! Rockin’ to and fro, Back in the saddle again. [...] FOG You see, shore-hugging IS neither surety Nor earns salt pride braving the long sea-sweeps. This came up in the dark while some of us Bore on in our sleep. Was there In the dog-watch already, hiding the dog-star. We woke into it, rising from dreams Of sea-farms slanting on cliffs in clear light And [...] A CROSSTOWN BREEZE A drift of wind when August wheeled brought back to mind an alfalfa field where green windrows bleached down to hay while storm clouds rose and rolled our way. With lighthearted strain in our pastoral agon we raced the rain with baler and wagon, driving each other to hold the turn out [...] View Ascent activity on 23-May-10 at 01:29PM in a larger map Just another ride, didn’t feel great, didn’t feel completely shitty either. Ran into Ohran on the bike path above Parley’s and chatted a bit about the upcoming season; only 4 months until the first race, and oddly, it already feels like cyclocross weather. Wonder [...] Is it just me, or is the fact that the weather is supposed to be crappy on my birthday somehow indicative of my life? At least I’ve got good weather today and tomorrow to ride … and don’t have to work on Thursday or Friday. [...] THE KISS Before you kissed me only winds of heaven Had kissed me, and the tenderness of rain— Now you have come, how can I care for kisses Like theirs again? I sought the sea, she sent her winds to meet me, They surged about me singing of the south— I turned my head away [...] View Ascent activity on 14-Feb-10 at 01:38PM in a larger map Caught a bit of a cold, but the weather is absolutely gorgeous out today … I couldn’t allow myself to waste the day on the couch; so out for an easy 15 miles through Holladay, Murray, and Millcreek. Legs were a little heavy, lungs [...] View Ascent activity on 18-Oct-09 at 12:31PM in a larger map First time on the bike in 3 weeks … my Saturdays have been busy with the UTCX series, and the past couple of Sundays were either bad weather or otherwise booked (such as a trip to the zoo last weekend). I could tell that [...] View Larger Map Tried to take advantage of the unexpected good weather and got out for another ride on this holiday Friday; unfortunately, I forgot my inhaler, and had some problems breathing, including a pretty serious asthma attack on the climb up out of Parley’s on the bike path. Felt like crap, cut the ride [...] |
