Thanks to Andy Clarke and Dr. Jacob Wagner :) I'm just the one who submitted it...



maybe I'll get to ride one of these days...

feelings...

peace and riding!

sucks...

i hate that i'm so busy that i'm usually doing something when i want to be doing 2 or 3 other things at the same time. usually that something would not be my first choice out of the 2-3 other options.

am I choosing "wise" now so those 2-3 things can be more easily available and fun in the future, or am I wasting my life doing shit thats not bad by any means but I'd rather not be doing versus other stuff?

good question.

i'm applying to cal-berkeley soon. i'm feeling really good about it, we'll see.

peace and riding!!!

races...

so, I'm promoting 2 officially sanctioned USAC races this year...april 7 and july 21...save the dates jerks...





peace and riding!

wow...

i'm somehow caught up on my life, somewhat. wrote a 15 page paper in 4 hours today, 5.5 if you count the time it took me to do the reference page. had a really good outline and idea in my head i guess.

so im gonna do some bike stuff this weekend.

blue river parkway trails workday! (click me)

sunday meeting at kessler park for some top secret mission, that's not so really top secret. I want to meet with folks before I say too much. very exciting though.

gonna try to get out to roanoke sometime this weekend too to flag stuff out for the March 10 workday! (click me)

gonna try to race urban cross too at street cred saturday at 3. (click me) west bottoms. 2 years ago I got 3rd, last year I got 2nd...maybe this will be my comeback race...

here's some recent pictures from roanoke:





peace and riding!!!

imagine...

if there could be single track mountain bike and hiking trail in this park:



not saying where its at, you gotta figure it out on your own, it's pretty easy.

let's just say if you've ever imagined it, you won't have to much longer :)

more details to come...

peace and riding!!!

2012 season

missed the annual team party...heard it was awesome. missed street cred too, fuck. school and work are kicking my ass so hard. getting on average 4-5 hours of sleep a night so far this semester, not good. I'm really tired, but am somehow keeping up, at least it feels like it. so far I've met all my deadlines trying to balance 4 classes worth of reading and writing and pretty much a full time work load but working 20 hours a week and getting paid an intern's wage. some of the work i'm doing right now I'm really proud of, and it feels like the first time in my life I am actually working on stuff that will have broader implications and hopefully help a lot more people than my personal self. i have two really, really solid research ideas right now that no one has really written specifically about and feel confident after talking with a few really smart people that publication is quite possible for these ideas. we'll see, that would be dope.

peace and riding!!!

do it!

peace and riding!

way too busy...

grad school is time consuming. 12 hours feels like 30 undergrad hours. having to work 4 hours every morning at 8 am sucks ass too.

i haven't ripped singletrack since before the break and it's been 60* in january. that makes me sad. i literally just don't have time. still doing the commuting thing thankfully so at least riding a little.

go enjoy the weather for me.

peace and riding!!!

slowly but surely...

have been getting more time on the bike. nice weather has helped for sure.

strength is coming back nice. lungs are worthless, so not much change there. endurance is who knows. I feel like I could do 5 hours no prob, but not at any pace but my own.

need to find a road bike to borrow for this spring. road riding with the team and doing a few longer road races will get me back up to snuff pretty quick.

anyway, super busy working 20 hours/week and taking 12 hours of grad school. so expect updates to be sparse, especially since no raing is going on until STREET CRED!

peace and riding!!!
