iRoll on 2 Wheels: Margaritas and Racing; Not at the Same Time...

IRoll on 2 Wheels. A photo blog of what I ride, who I ride with and what I see on my rides - all through the lens of an iPhone 4S. Monday, April 30, 2012. Margaritas and Racing; Not at the Same Time. Since moving to Sacramento Lisa and I have enjoyed a few bike rides within the city, most recently to Ernesto's for some Mexican Food and killer margaritas (notice I didn't say killer Mexican Food). Our town bikes were great for getting around and are finally going to get their proper use. The Speed of Sound.

Ministor: Washington Park and Estabrook
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2013/11/washington-park-and-estabrook.html
Friday, November 8, 2013. Washington Park and Estabrook. Work has been busy and this week our household has been in the trenches battling a cold, so the race reports haven't been a top priority. I find myself with a bit of time between appointments so I'll fill you in on the haps. Two weeks ago was Washington Park. It 's the costume race. I love the course. I never race well there. This year was no exception, but it was still a lot of fun. Especially because I dressed up as Maciej. I felt and raced proba...

Ministor: East Troy Twilight Cross
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2013/10/east-troy-twilight-cross.html
Friday, October 4, 2013. East Troy Twilight Cross. East Troy Twilight Cross is a bit of a misnomer. It is daylight for a lot of the races and then night for the 3's and everyone after. That being said, the course is an excellent use of space and riding at night under the lights adds a fun element. Good thing I brought the right bike this time. Due to my tardiness, there was no Clutch Corner this week. I will be looking for a good spot to set it up at this weekend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Ministor: October 2012
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 29, 2012. I wavered heavily on what to dress up as this year but landed on something simple yet creepy. With a week old mustache, some Just for Men- Black, a pair of cheap aviators, I was "Undercover Marc." I couldn't wear the aviators all day because they were giving me a headache but the the picture below gives you the idea. Photo courtesy of Kate. It was so creepy that when grabbing dinner with friends after the race people had a hard time looking me in the face! Photo courtesy of Kate.

Ministor: November 2013
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Kringle Cross takes place at Hales Corners park. The course doesn't change much, but they seem to add more course on every year. The crazy thing about this year's race was the high 50's temp, and 1.20 inches of rain we got that day. Oh yeah, and the tornado warnings. The races still happened though, which made for the muddiest wettest race I have ever done. I had to hustle a bit for the last 200 meters just to make sure he wasn't close enough to be in contention. I could bla...

Ministor: February 2013
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. I've been swept up in a perfect storm of gifts from God: new baby, new job, new home. And as is the case with all gifts, I have been given more responsibilities. And while I believe that taking care of my own health is responsibility, for the past 6 weeks other peoples needs simply had to come first. I'm not counting on this being a regular thing at this point, that would be nice, but I won't be planning my schedule around her sleeping through the night for a while.

Ministor: September 2012
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 24, 2012. I really had to work around my work schedule to get out to the USGP this year. So in order to make it happen I needed to race the 2,3's on Sunday morning at 9:30am. That meant getting up early to drive the 1.5 hours but the course was so much fun last year that I was willing to do so. I've broken it before, which is probably why it stayed straight as I went to the ground, so I knew it was broken. But I could still grip the bike so I kept going. Upon remounting my bike ...I was...

Ministor: Bring the Noyes Cross! Day 1 and 2
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2013/10/bring-noyes-cross-day-1-and-2.html
Monday, October 7, 2013. Bring the Noyes Cross! Day 1 and 2. I nearly doubled my exercise for the week by competing in not one, but two races, this weekend! After two days of on and off rain, Saturday was mostly dry and somewhat sunny. That is until we lined up. As we waited for the whistle to blow the thunder began. We were going to get wet. My shifter while I raced. That's right, brand new and ready to rock! SRAM performs great and the company supports local racing, you can't beat that! As for Clutch c...

Ministor: November 2012
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. There were no brakes in the pinwheel until we got to the crux of it, suddenly Chris slams on his brakes, Maciej slides into him, and I slide into Maciej. As my rear wheel was in his face. (This all took place in about 5 seconds in the crux of the pinwheel of death). So even though it wasn't a great race for me, it was still a great time to hang out with friends and that is why I do this in the first place. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Ministor: Shaving My Legs Made Me Faster
http://ministor.blogspot.com/2013/09/shaving-my-legs-made-me-faster.html
Friday, September 20, 2013. Shaving My Legs Made Me Faster. After Lulu was born, Lauren was very good about encouraging and allowing me some time to ride every week so I could stay sane. Although for a stretch of about 6 weeks I did nothing athletic, unless you count playing Dance Central 3 a few times as exercise. Spring rolled around and I got to ride a bit more, but it was still spotty. I would go weeks without exercise. It is a constant reminder of the culture and community I am part of and it gives ...
