Build Day! Well, the first part of it, anyway. I didn’t really think we were going to get the entire bike built today, but I was cautiously optimistic. My buddy Layne picked me up on the way to Michael’s house (and, of course, his shop), and we unloaded all my stuff and almost immediately got [...]

Sunday is build day for my Steelwool Tweed supercommuter. Really looking forward to having this bike finally built up. I expect a full build report with pictures after the bike is built up… I might even get a chance to take a few during build day, which will be a day of hanging out with [...]

Off the bike

I haven’t been riding for the last three weeks, as I’ve been sick. First I had a cold with a nasty cough, then I threw out my back from said cough (which was worse than the cold), then I got better, and now I’m worse again. I went to the doctor today and they confirmed [...]

I rode my first century on Saturday with a few friends, from Capitol Hill in Seattle to Bellingham, Washington. Though we were expecting the weather to be wet and miserable, the day turned out to be really pleasant and advantageous. I slept like ass the night before, fearing that I forgot to set my alarm, [...]
Ulver

Everyone knows (except maybe you) that Ulver is one of my favoritest bands. Every album of theirs is fantastic and meaningful to me. As they have not typically played live (like, pretty much never), it really pleased me when they announced that they’d play a few shows this summer. Although I have travelled very far [...]
Stats for last week.

Forgot to post about stats from last weekend’s rides. 87.21 miles total, 37.4 mph maximum speed. My bike computer doesn’t have average speed, unfortunately. If I had to wager, I would say 13mph.

I took a three-day weekend last weekend to take a trip with my friend Michael down to Oregon to ride bikes. It was pretty epic. I didn’t take nearly enough photos. Friday Got up at Butt AM (that’s 5:00 for your reference, 0500 for you military types) and threw my gear in the car, strapped [...]
Back Pain and Physical Therapy (Or, My Triumphant Return to Cycling)
Posted in pain, Uncategorized, tagged back pain, physical therapy on July 6, 2009 | 3 Comments »
As I noted in an earlier post, I’ve been going to a physical therapist for awhile now. My therapist is also an avid cyclist, and did a bicycle fit for me from the perspective of efficiency (biomechanics) and comfort in regards to my back (and, really, the rest of my body). The bike fit helped [...]
