Another week in the books

Yo,
Well, to day is a staff development day so no kids, just boring ass paper work and entering grades...ish. Last night was a great tuff ride. Lots 'a peeps. Ran in to Dougo and Dano, which was pretty much great. OPUS starts next week and that will be fun to try out the leadout for the first time this Year. I think we all have pretty good fitness for this time of year, so I am excited to see how we stack up. This weekend will be nice so I hope we can get a couple good efforts in. Al right, time for meetings.

March...damn it

...Red sky in morning, sailor take warning...
Fuck! here comes the snow....;(
At least we have team camp this weekend!!!

Back to ish!!!

Yo. After last week/weekend we all have been spoiled with swizzy weather. Last weekend we got some great secret training in! This weekend is gonna suck. Back to the winter bike...what a drag dude. Everything is kinda ish this week. Today I went to the store because I woke up and forgot I had to get milk. So I go to the store to get milk, bread and coffee. Well, I grabbed french vanilla, not french roast. When I smelled it in the french press I knew I had grabbed the wrong coffee. So no I have to drink it for a week. AHHHH. Plus, I'm back on the trainer due to the weather. Williams loves this weather and is going for a drizzle ride to day. The last time I was on a drizz ride was with him like 5 years a go. Anyway, I'm done cryin' for now. I wish there was a tough ride tonight.

The Nice bike, and facebook.

Yo.
Last night I rode the nice bike out side for the first time. It went pretty well. I didn't have to adjust anything, which surprised me a little bit. It rides pretty well, although there is a big difference riding a bike without an integrated seatpost. I forgot how much those seatposts flex when you climb. However, it's also more forgiving on rough stuff. Give and take I guess. Hopefully, it won't rain after school today so I can ride it again. In other news, my good buddy Matt Handrick joined facebook...WTF just happened!!! If there was one kid who hated facebook as much as me it was Matt. Anyway, it's a sad day in my world. At least to day is Fitness friday, so the kids can do whatever they want in gym. I'm not a huge basketball fan(which is what 99% of them want to do), but I do like the look on some kids' faces when I make the occasional 3 pointer. Hopefully last hour will want to play floorhockey. Next week we start a swimming unit and the winer'swill be out is full force, so I guess I should enjoy today.

Almost Spring!!!

Yo,


Well, it's doing this out side:


which sucks but at least its not stickin' too bad. Last weekend I actually was quite productive. Got a good hammer fest in on Saturday, worked on Sunday, and got some homework done. Last week my DVD player died:(. AS a result I am back to a VCR.
The best part about my VCR is that its a TV TOO!!!

Anyway, I think I'm gonna shave my legs soon. I wonder what the hood kids are gonna say when they see 'em. This week I started at Arlington. I walked into a floor hockey unit too!!! It's pretty funny cause most of these kids have never played so they get pretty pissed when I school 'em. It's hard for me to tone it down cause I'm competitive. Tomorrow I think I'll play goalie. Anyway, Steph has been out of town a little bit so the hound and I have been Hangin' out. His favorite things include: sleeping, eatting, and running up to stangers for attention. What a great hound!

Ish watt

Yo.
We pushed the ish watt a bit on Saturday. First time of the year really. It went ok.
Great to see everybody too. So far I think we will be pretty good. I got dropped two times, but not too bad. I liked seeing everyone's winter bikes. I think next time I'm gonna have a winter bike gallery. Dan was on old faithful, as was I. Dougo busted out the rocky mountain. Williams was on the Bianchi and Schlick was on the Poprad with Dave on an old trek. I miss the days when we did rides like this every weekend. We all grows up, we all grows up. Well, that's about it for this week, I'll work on some winter bike pictures for next time. Oh yeah, I broke my fender just as we finished up the ride, DAMN IT!!!!

Gettin' by

Yo,

Well a lot has happened since the last update. The Sable finally died...This has sucked. I have to sit through rush hour on my way to student teaching. Swizzy. I bought a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have, but I didn't know the sable was going to die. Oh well. Training has been not good. I told Matt I wasn't gonna be fast till July though. The last couple weekends I was able to get out and get some base in, during the week however, homework has been kicking my ass. It's time for an end of an era too.
This year I didn't get Northwave shoes.
I got my first pair in 96 when I was on the Schwinn Homegrown team. With the exception of one year on shimano's I've always had Northwave's.
I got some Lake CX 400's.

Mainly because the come in wide.

I got slab feet. So far so good. I also did the heat molding, wow! I really like 'em so far. Al right, time to go to school! More Floor hockey!!!
