Dehydration not necessarily the cause of cramping

10 year anniversary

It's been 10 years this week since I got smacked by a car in a record attempt across Mississippi, which took a long time to recover from. I'll spare you the story....

This just in...

Hello and congratulations!

You have been selected to compete in the 25th Anniversary Furnace Creek 508 on October 4-6, 2008, “the toughest 48 hours in sport.” You are part of a select group who will participate in this world-famous spiritual odyssey through Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. We look forward to sharing the experience with you!

Woo-hoo!

TT tomorrow

My blog has gone "dark" for a while -- I've been extremely busy at work and teaching three classes for LBCC. *However*, I have been riding.

A friend of mine told me that "I'm not a better climber, just stronger." Probably so. I do have a little evidence that I'm a little rough on the drivetrain -- I broke my 12-tooth cog on the Saturday ride. The blasted thing was skipping all over the place and I thought it was the chain the whole time. Not a broken tooth, but a clean break around the circumference. (Most likely it was simply a defective cog.)

Two years ago I broke a cassette body -- split clean along one of the splines. Perhaps this 10-speed stuff isn't so durable after all....

Tomorrow I'm off to my first race as a member of WVCT/Pacific Power... a solo TT in Coburg.
