Expensive Ride

I had an expensive ride the other day. While clipping into my pedals, part of the front cracked. I can still clip in, but it is time for new pedals.



I am sticking with my beloved Time RXS pedals. The cleats are walkable, the pedals slip in easy and the are low [no] maintenance. Sure they may crack after 2-3 years, but I guess I can live with that tax.

Bike to Home Season 2007--Haiku Style

An update to this post....

Since I have a history of stupid human tricks, I let pride give it to me up the ass and road home. I have summarized the experience with a haiku:

Cycling home today
Pain throughout the arms and legs
And my ass hurts too

I thought the stats this morning were pitiful. Well...

• 16.99 Miles
  
• 1:03:05 ride time (Uff)
  
• 15.86 MPH (Uff++)
  

Bike To Work Season 2007

Bike to work season has officially kicked off today. With the warm spring-time weather and sunset bordering 6PM, there is no better time than the present to kick start a greener and healthier lifestyle. I have not been on a bike since November, so the riding was a bit slow and painful. The real question is will I bike home? Common sense says take the train; my pride tells me to ride home.

Today's pitiful stats:

• 16.96 Miles
  
• 59:45 ride time
  
• 16.97 MPH Avg
  
• 26.3 MPH Max Speed
  
• Total Odometer at 2019 miles (Just how far will I go this year?)

Cytosludge

What happens to Cytomax after ~3 months of fermentation in a water bottle? You get Cytosludge!



Yeah--really bad picture. I thought it was just residual water in the bottle and imagine my shock when the green sldge came oozing out. Thankfully, the cell phone cam caught some of its essence.
