12k mi for 2010. Circle the globe by Halloween 2010. Eat lots of food, especially cookies. Get 10k mi out of a bicycle frame.

Bottles of Nuun 2
Bread (loaf) 2
Cereal (boxes) 0.25
Chicken (servings) 4.5
Coke (cans) 9
Cookies 9

Today I was supposed to join the CTS ride group and go on a 26 mi ride. Well, things kind of FUBAR'd when I ended up in Marymoor park instead of Magnuson park. I made this mistake last year too. Stupid Australian.
Pedro called me and asked if I wanted... read more
Must be the week for crashes. Were the cosmetic scrapes on the cervelo bad?
1 day agono, very small and only in one location. The location was strange though. He crashed on the road, yet the scrape was on the top tube.
1 day agoprobably scraped it with his cleats when he 'dismounted' suddenly. glad the bike and the rider were ok. nice miles by the way. took me out of first on my leaderboard.
1 day agoMike, I won't lie, at least part of this workout is dedicated in pip'ing you from the top spot :).

1 day agoThat's good riding MIke!
1 day agoRode home with the Russian. Quite windy today and a little on the chilly side. Some people were carelessly standing across the trail; Russian and I went to pass them, and there was an oncoming cyclist without enough space to move. I rode straight of th... read more
Nice work to get your foot down in time, glad you didn't do more damage to you or your bike..
2 days agonice save!!! your funny :) ... I think you should have cried or something so he felt bad too!
1 day agoThanks guys. It was a bad weekend all round actually for people crashing (too much sun, too many people riding around not used to riding).
@Jamie: I use SPD clip ins on MTB single sided platforms. I would not recommend them for performance, but they are incredibly easy to use and very reliable.
36F, sunny and clear this morning, northerly wind. Reminds me of Perth in the spring time.
Was hoping to catch the Internet Explorer team at Zoka's this morning, but they weren't there when I swung by at their usual time. They rode yesterday so mayb... read more
Kris, your rides are always so exciting to read about. ALWAYS!! Be careful out there buddy!
2 days agoThat thing I did this morning? Riding the big metal car with lots of people in it? A good idea. Although the average speed wasn't that high, the 10-15 mph headwind was more than enough to stop us from setting any speed records today.

Your awesome!
3 days ago@Jason, actually I am calling for less chest beating, un;ess it's under the auspices of a real competition!
3 days ago@Jason: Thanks for the tips! I will have to do some more research on the interwebs. Although all this browsing of parts is making me want to buy new bikes.
@Bernard: I hear it comes with being half asian.
37F, sunny and beautiful, and I caught the bus this morning. Why? Why would I do such a thing? Because I was too busy reading blogs, and I want to kick that skinny runt's butt this afternoon on his shiny new Cervelo P2.
Ends up Dan P was also runnin... read more

musical comedy at its finest. If only there were sub-titles so I could sing along ;)
4 days agoIt says it's warm, but the ride back was cold. Made it all of 500 ft before turning in to the parking garage to get my jacket. Crystal clear conditions... I looked at the web cam pointed at the space needle and thought it was haze... or fog... or somet... read more

4 days ago45F, cloudy, a tiny bit of rain, mostly dry. Thoughts for the ride in: Food, food, food, food, om nom nom, food, food and... food. Boy I was hungry. Ever seen a hungry lion devouring its latest prey? That's me, right now, eating a bowl of cereal.

If you own an iPhone and want to track your diet get an application called "iShape".
about 23 hours agoLooks okay to me. Just lose the Coke. Anything that can free up stuck pistons has no business in your system! ;-)
about 9 hours agoI agree David, I should lose the coke at work and stick to water, juice and chocolate milk :)
