I'm officially signed up for the Walt Disney World Marathon. The race is being held on Jan 11th, 2009 at Walt Disney World, Florida. My training for the 26.2 mile run started few months ago but was unfortunatley cut short due to a minor bike accident. I have been undecided as to my participation since the accident. I've been thinking a lot about it lately and I've decided to give it a shot. It's sure to be the most physically challenging thing I've ever done but it's one of those things I've always wanted to do.It's not just...

New World Record!
I've set a new World Record! I know, I can't believe it either. On Sunday, Dec 14th I rode 40 miles at Boyette. "How is this a world record?", you might ask. Well, You're in luck. I'm going to tell you. Never before in the history of the world have I ridden 40 miles, so that makes it a world record. Isn't that great?!? Now if you'll excuse me I have the Guinness Book of world Records on the phone for verification and then I'm due at the studio for a photo shoot.All kidding aside, I really did ride 40 miles at Boyette on Sunday....

New Element Found
New Element Found Lawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert;...

Almost there
It's now officially been over 3 weeks since I lost my bike due to frame failure. I've posted several times about frustrations and concerns that I've had regarding the new G2 geometry being used with a standard 38mm offset fork as well as the headset oversight. You'll notice that I've removed those posts and I'll explain why later.I've spoken at great lengths with Paul from Ryder Bikes as well as a few people from Trek Bicycle Corporation...

Curtlo goes Big Tyme
Big Tyme isn't just a name for this guy. It's a description. No really, he's 6'11. I grew up with him in Spokane and I remember when I was a lot taller than he was. That didn't last long though. He shot past me his softmore year of high school and yes, he plays basketball. Ballin aint the only thing he does though. He enjoys long walks on remote hiking trails, romantic candle lit dinners, and mountaing biking. That's right, mountain biking.Unfortunatley for him there aren't many bikes that fit too well. What is a GIANT to do?,...

Thanksgiving Beercation
My 2008 thanksgiving vacation was spent up in snowy Erie, Pa. Theresa, Tam, and I kicked off our beercation with a - that's right - a beer. We hit up the margarita bar at the airport for a 7:00 am Sam Adams. This pretty much set the tone for the rest of the trip. The first item of business upon arriving in Erie was to...that's right..crack a beer. After visiting with some friends we headed over to Theresa's family's house and...yup...cracked...
