So I just remembered (or I guess forgot for a long time) that I had this important blog to write. For my large audience, thanks for the support, I coundlt have done it all these years without your support.

So I have replaced biking with yoga. I go 3 times a week here at the gym at my work. I need to get really motivated and start biking again.
Dang We got our second kid coming in July, that'll be tight, and i mean tight on time, money, jk, it'll be dope.
I'll write again sooon. Love nostink man. here is a picture.

RidE 24

2005-05-27T09:51:00.000-07:00

oh ya!
The Quary (Rocky) trail
7 miles
8 avg
40 minutes up
12 minutes down
25 or something max

What a fun wet, muddy, crazy ride. So much fun. Pretty tired today though. A lot of excess run off had caused some washout spots and at one point i was ridding through a stream which ran down the trail for a good 100 yards.

RIDE NUMBER 23

2005-05-25T10:57:00.000-07:00

Left side o' city w/Tay
9.28 miles
9.1 avg mph
27.4 mx dowhill
31.4 mx

Tay got one flat. I have one new rear brake pad allowing numerous sliding on switchbacks.

Highlight: I made it up the hardest switchback.
Lowpoint: I botched 3 of the other switchbacks.

Note: I can tell that my endurance and strength are increasing*(the preseason is over!) On the mini-puke hill climbing to the rollercoasters and todays climbs gave me evendence of the previously stated fact.

Ride 22 (and a recap of ride21)

2005-05-23T08:07:00.000-07:00

TOday left side of city creek.
no stats. I went about 6 miles.

Saturday I did The Roller Coasters with Adam. Adam hashed it up and crashed itno a rock at one steep downhihll section, superjmaned and rolled 3 times landing on his chin! He got scraped up on his arms and legs but ohter than that he was ok.
That was a fun 3 miles!

RIde #20

2005-05-16T07:57:00.000-07:00

I was going to write the date like an idiot.

So my first early bird befroe work ride. I have to say it was fun. Very nice to ride before its all hot and there is few people at city creek. I saw NOONE on the trail, except a little bunny. The only bad part is that i got to take down all the spider string that were strung across the trail.
I rode for 49 minutes
7.64 miles
9.2 avg speed
31.6 max(28.4 trail)
What else is there 2 know?

RIde #19 (bob sled!!!)

2005-05-09T10:36:00.000-07:00

Yikes.......
So ive had a slow leaking rear tire and i pumped it up this morn,
got to work early planning on ridding before work - the tire was flat.
i drove to guthries - not open 'till 9:30, being 8:20 i decided to just work til then.
9:45 after 10 minutes of waiting for them to open i got pissed and left, got to my car adn drove to wasatch. Lame people at wasatch make me wait 5 min. to p[ay for one tube,. I decided that i was going to drvie to bob sled and rock that s*$t! I got up there and my idoit self bought a thin road bike tube, I put it on anyways and off i went, Before the downhill bob sled i pumped up the tube a little fuller.
Fun fun fun wet fun, bobsled rules!!!!!!!!!!
I got out of it and what to my surprise? but a flayt tire. It wont hold air. I brought my old leaky tube just in case, but no patch kits, not to mention that i couldnt find a hole anyhow.
And the handle to my pump had fallen off, ya nice.
I sat there thining about the sucky long uphill walk i had in front of me for about 5 min, then a dude in a van drove by and asked if i needed a ride, i was like ohh yea. he was way cool and i got lucky. Otherwise i would still be walking right now.
Well hew was listening to Amos Lee, so now i want check him out. The ENd

Ride #18

2005-05-04T10:50:00.000-07:00

mileage 6.5 or so
ave speed 8.5
max downhill 22.2
riding time about 45 min
no heart rate monitor this time.
legs were pretty shot

Ride #17

2005-05-03T13:09:00.000-07:00

left side o' city
same dist as before
max speed was 24.7 on trail(until the magnet got knoked, I for sure went 26 or 27)
ave speed 8.2
total dist 6.2

Something cool i got from exolo peeps was a heart rate monitor. I tried it out today, may average seemed to be 87. The highest it reached was 117 or so. I dont know how accurate it is but I know I have a low heart rate to begin with.

Anyways fast fast downhill, ton o fun, i was hauling but cause i wanted to get a high max speed and then the magnet thing and then i just fast to spite it.

My Personal Website

2005-04-28T08:05:00.000-07:00

Creating a website for myself is not fun to think about.
I look around at allt he other sites out there by designers and there is a lot of good ones for sure, but so many of just the same. Ther is the cutting edge, really flashy cool website, the clean, cute heres a picture of me relaxing im so cute and sexy and such a good designer site, then thers the im crazy and so artistic that I can make my site just a really bad 4-year oldish drawing of a toaster and call it my rage against the style site. I dunno what to do for mine. clean and professional is what most experts would suggest.

i was going to look for examples of them all but then i really liked the first one i came across http://theartofzid.com/ I would like to do something like this, cause I am taking drawing class this next semseter and i would like to put a lot of artwork up on it as well as any stuff i do for work that is good. Well i'll probably change my mind, but...

2005-03-22T12:27:00.000-08:00

My buddy Tay is not having such a great day. He has been photoshoping horses for the last month or so for the big boss man and today the boss man asked him to make some horse calendars and some other horse crap and Tay is pretty pissed off.

Multiplying

2005-03-03T09:48:00.000-08:00

Well this weekend was full of surprises. Much as rabbits and my recently married Nieces and Nephews (and my friends Tay and Dale and my in-laws), My wife and I are expecting.
Woozers!
We first realized or thought about it Sunday, then Monday she woke up 100% certain she was pregnant. That night I bought a test for her because I have a need-to-know and well.. obviously it was positive, no doubt, the package is in the mail. It is so crazy to think of being a father and having a kid.
I am scrambling to come up with some insurance as we have NONE at this point. That’s the scariest aspect, but there is a lot of wonderment and joy at the same time and I know that everything will work out in the end. We feel that although this wasn't planned it feels right, so we are just going to take it a day at a time. We haven’t told anyone except her best friend. I'll probably tell Tay and Dale today and then our parents this weekend. I guess this means that we will have to change a lot of plans we had for summer trips, dang I hope I still get to biking a bunch.

Speaking of biking Tay is letting me ride his stead today, I forgot my bike, (sorta)
ohh man what else to say.

awesomed day

2005-02-24T08:26:00.000-08:00

I am so stoked that it has been in the high 40's and even 50 today! I can't wait for 1:45 to go biking on some dirt! I did 10 min. pilates today and plan on doing 15 min of yoga tonight. I did 15 min of yoga on Tuesday night - it is still kicking my butt. I think i'll just work my way up on that video. 15 min for a while then up to 20 then 25 etc...

Ipod shuffle 1GB

2005-02-22T11:56:00.000-08:00

Word - so like I got an Ipod shuffle and took it riding today for the first time. Pretty dang cool. Here is a picture of the ipod shuffle

I went biking up the right side of city creek, there was some mud and i was huffing and puffing, I only went to one bend past the first switchback.

My new Yoga DVD

2005-02-11T09:37:00.000-08:00

I got a new power yoga dvd with rodney yee yesterday. Super tuff, I only did 15 minutes of it last night, but I had done quite a bit of working out previous so.... thats my lame excuse.

Last night we went over to Taylors, where my weight bench is currently residing and we lifted 125lb and 105lb I was weak sauce and am sore today.

couple days ago I did the abs section of my pilates dvd and felt a little sore from that. I didi the same section this morning. Man i cant wait to go biking and camping this year, wohoo!

No Stink
