Velokat: Road to Recovery
http://velokat.blogspot.com/2010/04/road-to-recovery.html
Friday, April 16, 2010. If you read this blog, you may have noticed that I haven't posted about cycling since November. This is because I have been off the bike since then, sidelined by a herniated disc between the L5 and S1 vertebrae. I'm posting today, because yesterday was my first day on a "real" bike since October 31st. I rode my winter road bike to and from work yesterday and it felt just wonderful! I have been riding my upright commuter bike (to commute) a few times a week for the last couple of w...

Velokat: May 2009
http://velokat.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

At one point my teammate Katherine S. got a gap on everyone else, but she got reeled back in.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009. We are CYCLISTS, not BIKERS. Bikers wear black leather and chains, ride Harleys, drink beer, and engage in bar fights. Cyclists wear brightly colored Lycra and spandex, ride Cannondales, drink Accelerade, and shave their legs. Get it right, people! Sunday, April 5, 2009. Saturday, April 4, 2009. Springtime in the Desert (Tucson Trip). On Monday I reassembled my bike, then cut my hand open and spent a couple of hours in urgent care (see last post). :-(. Without Catherine joining...
