All the talk about sanitizing and hand washing was getting to be a bit much. However, now that Mr. Tom has decided to get the flu, all of a sudden I think it's a good idea. I wonder if bathing in santizer would help...hmmm.

Fall is definitely here. My bike commuting opportunities are becoming less frequent each week...stupid loser rain. I think the last time I rode to work was a couple of weeks ago. I am hopeful though, all I need is a dry morning and I'm good to go! Now, if the fog would just go away I think I would feel better about being on the road in the early morning hours.

We have been watching more movies recently...this week I got out Star Trek First Contact...you gotta love the BORG!This is my favorite scene - where Data first meets the BORG Queen.

Whichever lanuguage you say it in it's still 100...MILES...on a BIKE. OYE. I had some goals for this year: Train for and participate in a Duathlon - done (2x - YAY). Ride a Vancouver Bicycle Club Time Trial - done. Ride a full century - OMG...DONE. I had some idea what to expect, but really I set my expectations a little on the low side. Hills, yeah, I knew there would be hills...but I

Last week Tom and a few of his fellow DEA bike commuters were part of a photo shoot for a UK based newspaper. He was pretty excited about the photo shoot, but no one could say for sure that the article or photo would appear in what we now know is the Financial Times.This morning I received this link in my inbox from Tom...it's not entirely accurate, but then what newspaper is? DEA is very

This last week has been nice...just hanging out with Tom and relaxing and rescuing the roses and other plants around the house from the overgrown weeds. I knew that the week would go fast and I'm really not looking forward to going back to work on Monday, but that's still a couple of days away - so I'm going to enjoy the rest of my time at home with Mr. Tom. On Monday we went to Toutle and

Today is the first day of vacation and I'm ALREADY tired. I probably did that myself, by riding every single day this week, including today. So yeah, 92 miles in 6 days...some sleep in between and hanging out at work. I'm a little tired I guess. So we went for an easy ride this morning which for some reason took some effort on my part, but I'm glad we got out. Later this morning some cyclists

When I ride to work - I typically will just pack one pair of shoes for the day. Yesterday as I was packing up getting ready to head out for work it did not occur to me that I might need another pair of shoes. It also did not occur to me to ask Tom to bring me a pair of shoes...I had given him a short list of items that I would need to repack my repair kit (darn flat). It only occurred to me as I

Had a pretty good Labor Day weekend. Spent Saturday and Sunday be-boppin' around with Tom visiting the 3 wineries that are fairly close to our home and enjoyed a nice Cellar Club dinner at Bethany Vineyards Sunday evening. The best part would have to be the group ride we had with a bunch of people from Felida! On Labor Day we arranged to meet interested people at Fruit Valley Elementary School

Okay, so I don't ever feel like I look like a superhero, but maybe the next time I look for cycling gear I should look with that in mind....Super Ciclodiva!

My “obsession” with bikes and cycling probably started when I was in high school. I had this old clunky 10 speed that my parents gave to me for my 11th birthday. I had that bike for a very long time! Anyway, at that time my obsession did not include general maintenance, just putting air in the tires every now and then and maybe checking to make sure the brakes worked. All I cared about was going

Have been feeling a good deal of sadness this week. The wife of one of our BC's passed away unexpectedly this week. There is definitely a different feel in the atmosphere around the station, but then it could just be me. Any kind of sadness seems to really affect me anymore.My connection with Julie goes beyond the fact that her husband is a co-worker, but not so much that we were "friend" friends

Vine Ride...good route, good rest stops...extra miles! 65 miles actually was 71 miles in the end! This is the last organized ride this month...we'll be gearing up for the Peach of a Century in which we will do the 100 mile century and not the 62 mile metric century - GOOD TIMES!Make a Smilebox postcard
