this was another tough one for me. i don’t think my legs could carry 4 straight days of riding. they were heavy and they hurt. a lot. with each pedal stroke. it also didn’t help that i barely got 3 hours of sleep last night and my hr was noticeably high. the weather was kind enough though. i actually had to take off a layer before we rolled out of the parking lot. whatever energy i had...

gimbel's ride 2007.11.22
you can thank otto and jesse for the ridiculously beautiful 60 degree weather today. they were the only two riders who showed up on the unemployment ride this tuesday and braved the cold rain. in return the weather god had blessed us with mild temperature and a great turn out. virtually everyone went ‘regular’ today in keeping with the tradition and everyone had a big smile on their...
