I’m sitting in the Boston HI Hostel having my free breakfast (the coffee is better here then the sh*t at the conference…) and I’m on day 3 of no exercise. Unless you count the fact that I’m staying a mile from the conference so have at least been walking 2 miles a day. Not ex[...]

Birthday weekend!
I was both excited and terrified of this weekend; for some reason I had decided it would be a great idea for me to take up dirt biking (of the motorized kind). So J and I hatched a plan to adventure back down to Bend Friday night for a long weekend jammed-packed with as much [...][...]

I Like to Ride Bikes
I haven’t been posting much about actually riding my bike in a while, it seems. Those hard core race reports detailing the agony and ectasy of competition.
