ZaskarLE- Two wheeled pursuit of happiness: January 2009
http://zaskarle.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. Greeted this morning on my commute by a rather interesting barrier made of 2x8 lashed together at their center point by what appeared to be coat hangar wire. It looks like they have re sloped the approach to the bridge and allowed for expansion? I dunno but at any pace I thought it might be done by the end of the year at the rate it took them to build the bridge. Also they got rid of the grafitti some punk put on the supports, let's see how long it lasts. By far the coolest an...

A Good Idea at the Time: June 2010

A Good Idea at the Time. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Better Late than Never. Posted by Dave Holmes at 5:18 PM. So I finished up the Burn 24 hour Race two weeks ago, but never posted a write-up. Admittedly, I’ve been distracted putting on a sweet 8 Hour race, the H8R. Unfortunately, it was last week, so all my time after the Burn immediately went towards that event. It went well, and I’ve managed to decompress a bit from it and get back into the swing of things…. Solo or so to the bike. I was crushed…. I deci...

A Good Idea at the Time. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Posted by Dave Holmes at 4:08 PM. I'm the type of guy that once I find something I like, it's kind of hard to convince me that something else is better. That being said, I've owned 3 pairs of biking shoes in my life:. 2007 - Sidi Dragon - The mack daddy mountain shoe. I still rock these as well, by far the most comfortable shoes I've owned. They've been through many miles of heat, cold, rain, snow, and everything in between. The replaceable...But overa...

A Good Idea at the Time. Friday, August 21, 2009. Fool's Gold, Part 2. Posted by Dave Holmes at 5:31 PM. And with that we were off. The course looked pretty tough on paper, as it started with an 11 mile fireroad climb. Not a typo. The course then descended, and had another long singletrack climb. The rest was smaller climbs, but was still of the “up forever, down forever” variety, which doesn't leave much for recovery. Fool's Gold, Part 1. Posted by Dave Holmes at 8:25 AM. My drive over started out nicel...

A Good Idea at the Time. Monday, February 1, 2010. Posted by Dave Holmes at 8:38 AM. I realized it has been some time since I've blogged. I guess with all those epic rides and all the long hours down in sunny Florida logging base miles, theres just not much time left for typing. If only that were the case. Instead, I've been working 50 hour weeks and riding the trainer every other day. I hate this damn cold, my appendages refuse to cooperate with me. And [3] I like shiny things. After getting it all buil...

A Good Idea at the Time: Interbike: Lance

A Good Idea at the Time. Friday, October 2, 2009. Posted by Dave Holmes at 11:52 AM. EDIT: I've just realized that today is LiveStrong day, so I guess this is kind of appropriate. who knew. Even though he wasn't at the show, there was more than enough Lance randomness to warrant an entire post. Sram also had Lance's TT bike from the Tour down Under. Pretty neat up close with how the numbers fade/dissolve from the grey to black in places. And follow the directions. Free! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Good Idea at the Time: A Mess
http://dholmes24.blogspot.com/2010/04/mess.html
A Good Idea at the Time. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Posted by Dave Holmes at 7:52 AM. The Cohutta has come and gone, and left me with my first DNF on a NUE race. I could complain about alot of minor things that went wrong, but in the end, it came down to weather. I looked down, and my right pedal had fallen out again. WTF? I started the furious chase back on, and went a bit harder than I should have. 30 miles later, My pace slowly drifted from passing people like crazy, to riding the same speed, and th...
