training ride 2008.1.21

gimbel's ride 2008.1.19
it was a decent outing. i thought it would be a lot colder than it actually was. it took some doing before i was able to establish blood flow back to my fingers but the temp was far milder than forecasted. the only thing i really noticed was the wind which was pretty hard to cut through at times. i actually got to ride for a couple of hours yesterday following a half-day at work. while my...

the teach reports… “Rich DiGiacomo is a DAD! Rich DiGiacomo’s wife gave birth to Katherine Gliceria DiGiacomo on 1/17/08 at 9:41pm. Her weight was 8 lbs. 10 oz.” at this rate, we will all be replaced with babies on the gimbel’s ride by next week.

gimbel's ride 2008.1.12
i’m trying to remember the last time i had to take off a layer before the ride started and i can’t. so there i was stripping in public (again) when i was greeted by some familiar faces. first, pedro rolled up. there goes my prediction that we weren’t going to see him again on the g-ride for the next 5 or 6 years. his wife and the baby are both doing well and he took the...
