recovery day art

Endurance day today, no interesting cycling news except that yesterday was the most train-ridden annoying POO ever but tacos were great per usual. And I did win one of the "sprints" so I should get a world champion jersey or something.

I started at a new client today (Sephora, oo la la) and they've got problems I can fix so that's good

more interestingly for me though is that in their lobby they have these polished metallic warped takes on landmark SF buildings. I saw these first when I went to the open studios of http://catherinemackey.com (a good friend whose website Teresa built and I host) and was drawn to them.

Teresa doesn't like them but I do, and I haven't seen them since...until now. Small world :-)

hope you had a nice coincidence today

Cat disguise

had to take one of our two cats to the vet today. She thought she could go all camo by hiding in the exam room boxes.

Not a bad try, but she was nabbed. Maybe next time

Lots of non-cycling stuff going on, go figure. Work's thick and fast at the moment and so is personal travel and social events. Good thing I upgraded so none of the races are that exciting at the moment. Still getting good training time in though and I'll test the legs soon enough.

Eat to Live, Day Uno

Teresa's turning the screws on herself, and our kitchen is now a veggie production and consumption center as she tries out the "eat to live" philosophy and foodstuffs

Owing to 40-100 miles of riding a day I get a free pass for adding pasta and protein shakes, but other than that I'm going to give it a shot too.

I'll let you know.

By the way, what is tofu? I mean, really

In the meantime, chop, chop, chop, chop, repeat :-)

recovery day art / scout has a sibling

Just going for endurance today, had time to stop and snap a pic of this beastie

It's almost the same as a moto my wife grew up with and is in the process of restoring - a long-lost sibling, seen on my regular route on grove street in SF. Wonder if the owner just moved in? Maybe we could get a rec for their mechanic :-)

i'm not really good at fixing the points on magnetos and ours are busted.

I'm better at pedaling...

texan baby clothes

not sure about the tshirt but check out the baby chaps, why is that funny to me? Look out all you parents, Teresa's got some new ideas...

Happy Early Mom's Day

Snuck out to my sister's house in Austin to surprise my mom early for Mother's day and her b-day

even ran in to two of my cousins on 4th street last night while out on the town

great town, good peoples, good times :-)

So disappointing!

Paul Mach, the fastest guy I know (knew) who also refused the whole
baseless shaving thing gave in to peer pressure after moving up to the
cat 1 ranks.

He shaved his legs:
