What a night! Yesterday I was so sleepy I kept dozing off on the ride to lunch. We got to the hotel and instead of sleeping, I went downstairs to hang out in the lobby and met up with Stefan. Stefan began teaching me the intricacies of pool and how to plan shots. Around 23:30 […]

The most awesome thing we’ve seen this trip is seeing a driver getting flipped off in a spectacular manner. A pedestrian was crossing Middenveg, a car was creeping up on him and the driver honked at him. The pedestrian immediately turned, got into this rock n’ roll star stance facing the driver with a menacing […]

Groeten uit Amsterdam! It’s been a busy the last couple weeks. I never made it to STP. Two weeks ago I went to Seattle to visit Alex & Victoria and for STP. I met Lux the dog, spent much time playing with her. At some point Victoria and I went to lunch at Alki Beach. […]

The plan was to put in a 120+ mile ride on Saturday. Friday after work I drove down to New Braunfels to do some road recon. The roads through NB were amazingly less busy and better than Google Earth would have me believe. Passing through Gruene was interesting as well. The problem was, by the […]

Busy week, busy weekend, the first of many. After having the 4th off, leisurely feasting, partying, and fireworking at Ryan’s parents, Thursday was busy as hell. I was one of the few in the office since everyone took Thursday and Friday off. I spent a good chunk of the day working up export paperwork for […]

Back on the bike after a week of travel, two-and-a-half weeks of being sick. It feels great! It seems I’ve come back stronger, I’m now able to power up two out of three small hills on my neighborhood route without getting off the saddle. Unfortunately it’s put me way behind on the Seattle-Portland training schedule. […]

Can’t sleep, clowns will eat me. Comedy sketch with lulz. “Do you speak English? No, I don’t, sorry.” I could’ve sworn I linked to this before, but can’t find it.

95 miles on the bike today, Austin to New Braunfels out and back. I was aiming for 120 miles, that didn’t happen. It was quite the cooker, I started at 11 AM when it was already 88 F and it got hotter in the afternoon. Breakfast consisted of two ham/egg/cheese bistro sammiches from Sonic, which […]

Tonight I’m trying to master the perfect pitcher of iced tea. Perfect to me is something unsweetened, snappy and refreshing like what I can get at any local Tex-mex place at lunch. It’s not as easy as Lipton would have me believe. I bought some Lipton tea bags the other day, the first pitcher was […]
