"hollister kills babies"

whats hananin.

So, I'll start with, I guess, friday. Friday i got my off day on and took the day off. I was feelin it in my legs and i was also really exhausted from a week that started fast and moved into the longest week ever. Went ice skating at steinberg in fopo on friday night with my peeps, it was awesome. saturday we went out to greensfelder to ride. I'm still not really sure why we drove all the way out there. It was an ok ride, except for like the 8 miles on Hwy 100. That wasnt cool. I liked the scenic roads with like no traffic at times, but i still like knowing where I am when im riding. Didn't really bonk on saturday, cause i took Dan's email seriously, and ate before i went riding. In adition to the eggs and toast before i had a douce of clif bars and a bag of shot bloks, and i was good to go. Mike T impressed me with his prowress, ha ha funny word, on the climbs. there were a few where he got dropped but there were also a few where i looked over my shoulder and was quite suprised to see him rite there. Rok and Chris turned back about 2 hours in due to exhaustion i guess. Probebly my favorite climb of all was up to hidden valley, we finished "all down hill" from there. My final time was 3:11, and 50 miles. Today i went down to school after watching some 2005 tour on dvd, a great time passer, and worked on the yearbook. then i went to starbux and fais mes devoirs d'anglais. I just cooked up some chicken-lime fajitas for my family and neighbor. School is off after wed....YEAHH.

ps. when i switched templates my links got deleted, if anyone knows how to fix this help me, hopefully i havent offended anyone by not including a link to their blog. sorry.

weekend recap

So...I did alot of riding this weekend, about 90-100 miles for sat and sun combined. Saturday was a solid 3.5 hours and 55 miles of pain. I didn't eat enough and was feeling "jelly" all over. Got home and ate 3 eggs and 8 pieces of toast. Somewhat filled. I went to the team partay on saturday night, quite strange. Was more of a friends of our "Sponsor" maplewood bike. we basically just chilled and shot the breeze and listned to the band from hell. They were "new age" apparently, but they caused us all pain, and were so loud that yo had to scream to talk to someone a foot away. Austin bought a tt bike, he got a pretty phat deal on it, almost as good as i can get. Sunday was a good ride with some incidents. Keaton flatted and then we had a run in w/ a park ranger. you can read about that on austins blog as well. Had a good breakfast afterwards at first watch, new tradition on sunday rides. In other news, I have finally put in a really satisfying week of training. I have gone 6/7 days as of today in the last week. I am really enjoying the lifting, the running "not so much"-borat. Why I only went 6/7 days was due to my need for getting my bike fit last night. I had never really had it fit, just kind of eyeballed it. Greg at my shop, Trek Store of St. Louis, did a bangup job. I needed to move my seat almost 3 inches forward. we moved it up afap (as far as possible) on the stock bontrager post. not enough. that brings me to my shiniest new accessory.



thomson elite seatpost with zero setback.. we still had to move the seat up pretty far on that one. just finished up a california pizza kitchen bar-b-q pizza, and now i have to go do a drawing for drawing class "my favorite place to sit", i find it fitting to do my bike seat no?
