I’m not one to shy away from hot weather. After all, I’ve been rocking the 100-115 degree days since I was a spring chicken. I have a feeling I’m more reptile than mammal, after all when it gets too hot for me my skin falls off and I grew more… But today, today was hot. [...]
There are days that it seems that all the evil powers in the world are bound into one big ball of hurry that keeps you from getting out of your front door in time, sometimes these happen when you commute. Monday started out as a good morning. I awoke on time and was able to [...]

And yes, I only rode the Sidewinder. My ride today was actually for the mountain biking class at the college, beginning mountain [...]
Commuter racing is fun, but not in the sense that you should try it because you will enjoy. Rather, fun in that it is funny and kind of dumb. Commuter races are never planned. Hell, half the time only one person knows a race is even taking place. If you commute on a regular basis, [...]
