Stoked: Holiday base miles
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2010/12/holiday-base-miles.html
And other states of mind. Sunday, December 26, 2010. Just a quick follow up on my pledge to ride 1,000 miles between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The weather cooperated (no snow or ice) and I beat my goal. A short ride on Christmas Eve pushed my total to 1,111 (couldn't have hit THAT figure if I'd tried! I also ran 30 miles during that period. Time to organize my next training targets. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My 2011 Oregon Team. My 2011 Washington Team.

Stoked: January 2010
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
And other states of mind. Friday, January 29, 2010. It's not about the watts. Friday, 29 January. I am blue today. Links to this post. Friday, January 15, 2010. Friday, 15 January. In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone.". Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. My 2011 Oregon Team.

Stoked: December 2009
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
And other states of mind. Thursday, December 31, 2009. 2009 recap, part 2. Thursday, 31 December. So, the numbers. Total bike miles on the road: 12,333 (assuming no catastrophic events deter me from the usual ride home from work this afternoon). Surprisingly, that is down from 2008 (12,693). Month with the most miles: May, with 1653 miles. Month with the least miles: November, with 757 (that was the month with 11 days off the bike for vacation). Most miles in one week (7 days): 599. The biggest bummer of...

Stoked: May 2010
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
And other states of mind. Monday, May 31, 2010. Shrine of the times. Saturday was the Lewis and Clark 12/24. I've done this race (12-hour version) twice before on my single bike, and the goal this year was to do it on the tandem. We didn't aspire to any enormous distance in our allotted 12 hours, just log some fun miles and establish a tandem course record (there isn't one). Links to this post. Monday, May 24, 2010. Monday, 25 May. Don’t get me wrong. I could not have harmed the animal intentio...Maybe n...

Stoked: Meaningless data for 2010
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2010/12/meaningless-data-for-2010.html
And other states of mind. Friday, December 31, 2010. Meaningless data for 2010. Recently wondered “why do rides seem so meaningless when your powertap doesn’t work? What I really meant in response to Jen’s question was that every mile on a bicycle should be meaningful with or without data, even if you don’t know that it was a mile you just traveled or 300 seconds of your life that it consumed. My most memorable moments on a bike in 2010 were these:. Really, though, the most memorable moment was the day a...

Stoked: January 2011
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
And other states of mind. Monday, January 24, 2011. But will it work? Monday, 24 January. Picking up from a thread of comments on a recent Facebook post here:. There's a relatively new business establishment along my commute route. It's an interesting concept, and I'd like to think that it might work: drive-thru grocery store.

Stoked: HT*U Part One
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2011/06/htu-part-one.html
And other states of mind. Wednesday, June 01, 2011. Wednesday, 1 June. I vowed not to be a wuss or to whine too much about the unpleasantness forecast for last Saturday’s Lewis and Clark 12/24 hour race. There was a timed KOM section up the steepest part of Old Man Pass; the time keeper at the bottom was ringing his cowbell so hard that I couldn’t ask if there was anyone ahead of me to chase or how far to the top. Who would have thought: too much cowbell! I did stop here to take pictures. Man, sounds lik...

Stoked: November 2010
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
And other states of mind. Friday, November 26, 2010. Sibling rivalry, or how many miles to Christmas? So I have 29 days to cover 1,000 miles. Just 34.5 miles a day. I got in 73 today, so I'm off to a good start. If I get desperate near the end, there's always the solstice ride (ride from sunset to sunrise through the longest night of the year), but I hope it doesn't come to that! I'll keep a total on my Facebook wall so you can hold me accountable. Join me? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Stoked: GF Pumpkin Bread
http://stokediam.blogspot.com/2011/10/gf-pumpkin-bread.html
And other states of mind. Saturday, October 22, 2011. Saturday, 22 October (updated 28 October). I started with a recipe for Sweet Potato Bread that I found in the latest catalogue from Penzeys. Here’s my approximate recipe for GF Pumpkin Bread. 1 cup brown rice flour. 190; cup white rice flour. 188; cup oat flour. Other flours and flour proportions would work too; I’d stay away from the starches—the pumpkin needs something substantial to absorb the moisture]. 190; cup brown sugar. 189; tsp baking soda.

New Shiny Bicycle: Completed Goal
http://rickierainwater.blogspot.com/2010/08/completed-goal.html
Comments about my experiences and thoughts. Thursday, August 5, 2010. With a lot of hard work, patience, persistence. Tax return money, work bonus, and every spare dime I could scrape up, I was able to finally piece together my new 2010 Scott CR1 Pro bicycle. Trying to match my last bike fit as closely as possible, I went with a Thompson 80mm stem 10 degrees, FSA. Carbon fiber handlebars, seat post. With a 1090 SRam. Wheels and Vittoria Open Pave clinchers. Tom from GVHbikes. And I still ride Nemo. Simpl...
