| I rode the 60-mile loop of the Sierra Century. The 60-mile loop started us at Squaw Valley and took us out to Donner Lake were we climbed Donner Pass and rode out to Rainbow Lodge and then back over Donner Pass for a second time on our way back to Squaw. If you are not familiar with Donner Pass—its name comes from the infamous Donner Party who in desperate hours of winter turned to cannibalism to survive. In some sick fashion, the ride organizers put a rest stop on the way back over ... |

| The Tour de Peninsula starts about five blocks from my house at Sequoia High School. The organized ride has been around for 15 years raising money for the parks in San Mateo County. For a ride that markets itself as the “No Pain, No Pain” ride—I saw a lot of people grindin’, cryin’ and diein’ on the 33 mile loop. Lots of pictures from the ride |

| A couple of weeks ago, I rode in the Giro de Peninsula with the Librarian. It was a fun little ride hosted by the Italian Festa Foundation. The weather was perfect and the ride was incredibly well supported. |

| I do not want to turn this into an “us against them” blog but I do enjoy passing “skinny” people on a bike. It is rare that is happens on the flats even more rare on a climb. So when it happens, you can be sure I am ear to ear catching flying protein in my teeth. (Probably gaining more weight) Like a lion, I seek out the riders in the pack that “look” good but are a little out of shape... |

| What happens when someone like me has too much time to think about nothing and everything. My ride up to Tahoe had a mild panic attack and a funny realization about the benefits of riding a bicycle vs riding in my truck. |

| Here is the long version with new pictures from My Big Fat Ride. It is a little long but so was the ride. Thanks for your support. I have big plans—this was the first of many journeys I hope to take you on. I hope you enjoyed it half as much as I did. |

| It can be argued that the helmet is a fashion downfall of the cycling sport. In Tahoe—the riders varied from massive teams to small groups from all around the country. Since most people pedaling around the lake were wearing a Team-In-Training jersey—teams dawned adornments on their helmets to help identify teammates within the pack. Some were very creative and some ... |

| My Big Fat Ride was this last Sunday June 4th. I plan on writing a more detailed update but I have not had a chance to sit down (no butt joke intended) and capture the ride details—so I hope these few pictures captures my excitement of finishing my century ride around Tahoe. |

| As much as I get pumped-up for the long rides, I have been doing—I just cannot muster up a celebrative “wahoo.” Even at the top of long climb or at the finish of a 6-hour ride—I just don’tt feel the inner passion bubbling over that results in a good old fashion Wahoo.
It is probably a question of nature vs nurture as to what makes someone a Wahoo’er or not. I come from a long line of non-Wahoo’ers, but I am not aware of any genetic decoding that explains the predestination of being a “ Wahoo’er.”
