Bike Snob NYC: Five Reasons I Hate Being a Cyclist

http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2007/07/five-reasons-i-hate-being-cyclist.html

Systematically and mercilessly disassembling, flushing, greasing, and re-packing the cycling culture. Monday, July 2, 2007. Five Reasons I Hate Being a Cyclist. Being Treated Like a Moron by the Companies that Manufacture the Equipment I Use. Come on. How stupid do these companies think I am? How can something be "stiff yet compliant? Why do they think I will pay twice as much for the same stem I've been using for six years because now it's wrapped in carbon fiber and weighs 40 grams more? To the satiric...

Mello Velo Bike Tours: Arrival in Hong Kong and Final Race Prep

http://melloveloblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/arrival-in-hong-kong-and-final-race.html

Mello Velo Bike Tours. Sunday, October 19, 2008. Arrival in Hong Kong and Final Race Prep. I forget how long a pan pacific flight is! I watch 6 movies and 3 episodes of Sienfield during the flight! We land in Hong Kong at 7:15 in the morning on Friday and all I want to do is Tai Chi. in my sleep! It's easy to deny the grogginess though. It's China baby! But its quiet. Not a single horn to be heard. The ceremonies are nice, we walk around, witness a wedding, and as quickly as we are dwarfed by man...Tuesd...

Mello Velo Bike Tours: Thursday is Spa Day... at least a mud bath

http://melloveloblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/thursday-is-spa-day-at-least-mud-bath.html

Mello Velo Bike Tours. Friday, October 24, 2008. Thursday is Spa Day. at least a mud bath. Excuse my judgement, but Crummiest Team Ever, those Afrikaners. It's subtle, but innately dirty. There are at least 4 pro teams here of various levels. The boyish pros from Johannesburg have just a bit too much sense of entitlement for their skill level. Just my two cents.

Mello Velo Bike Tours. Thursday, October 30, 2008. Recovering in Sunny So Cal. Returned Sunday to the states, riding in So Cal by Monday. Mello Velo marketing slam in Fullerton, San Diego and now Palm Springs! Wednesday we rode with a group of hammer heads through Camp Pendleton, and tomorrow, we hit the epic Box Canyon and up to the trailhead at Joshua Tree. U2 baby! He could see through the holes! Joe Christian and Blake Longacre. Monday, October 27, 2008. Final Stage: Pain and Glory (the good kind).

Mello Velo Bike Tours: Final Stage: Pain and Glory (the good kind)

http://melloveloblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/final-stage-pain-and-glory-good-kind.html

Mello Velo Bike Tours. Monday, October 27, 2008. Final Stage: Pain and Glory (the good kind). The 7th stage in Shanghai is the fastest: 78 km at an avg. of 49.5 km/hr. Good news: the tour is over. Bad news: the tour is over. I already can't wait to return. I think I may be owed some karma cleansing. The race is over, and so the nightlife bekons! Wrap up: Wrap up? Plus, in all truth, there was really little free time to explore that vast undiscovered country. I hear that it's illegal for foreigners to...

Maryka's Little Project: Expectations

http://smaryka.blogspot.com/2011/08/expectations.html

Training, racing, thinking, working, living. Friday, 12 August 2011. Before I had Otter, I had fitness. I had watts. I had several seasons of consistent training and racing, virtually injury-free, and with some pretty decent results. This is what my PMC looked like:. January to October 2010: Before Otter. This is my PMC now:. October 2010 to August 2011: After Otter. The wind on my face and the sun on my arms! Never mind the watts. Then a few more weeks passed and my power didn't seem to be improving&#46...
