Yesterday I was on my way home from work on my motorcycle, when things didn't go according to plan.. I got off at 6200, and came up to the light to a stop. The road was clear, so I began my right turn. My back tire started sliding completely out from… more » Monday July 19, 2010
As I was getting ready to leave work I got the word from Jason that Eric would be working very late tonight. That meant he wouldn't be making the ride. So Jason and I discussed what to do. He decided to try to call his mom and Natalie to see if either… more » Sunday July 18, 2010
A week ago Eric and I were talking about how we hadn't gone on any good motorcycle cruises yet this year. So we decided that we would ride the Mirror Lake highway yesterday. We started inviting other riders to join us, but in the end it was just Eric a… more » Friday July 16, 2010
Yesterday after work I ran home, and got ready to go mountain biking with Eric. As soon as I got home I called first to see if I had jury duty (still not scheduled and that was the last day to call, yay!), then called Eric. No answer. Ok, well at leas… more » Tuesday July 13, 2010
Yesterday was Mountain Biking Monday™. As such I cruised home from work, got ready, loaded up my bike and headed to Eric's. He got off a little late, so rather than go up to Dog Lake, we drove down to Corner Canyon where we would have more daylight.… more » Sunday July 11, 2010
Yesterday at about noon I got into my cycling gear, jumped on my road bike, and started heading up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Legs felt pretty good, but I ran out of water far too quickly. I got just about to where I turned around last time. So as soon… more » Tuesday July 06, 2010
Tonight was a simple night. After work I ran to the bike shop to get some brushes, then came home to load up my bike. Grabbed it and headed down to Eric's house for bike cleaning after our epic ride yesterday. We all cleaned our bikes up, and figured… more » Monday July 05, 2010
I woke up pretty early for me (at least for a weekend). Got my bike and gear all loaded up and headed down to Eric's. We loaded up their stuff and were on our way by 9. We drove up Big Cottonwood Canyon towards Guardsmens Pass to ride the epic Wasatch… more » Sunday July 04, 2010
My weekend ended up being pretty lazy. Originally the plan was to take a little motorcycle cruise with Eric & Natalie, but Eric got stuck at work. So I pretty much chilled at home. Watched the Tour de France. Played some games. Went to the store… more » Saturday July 03, 2010
Yesterday I finally got my new tires on. I picked them up right after work and as soon as I got home I started the process to remount the wheels. The rear went on with no problem, but the front fought me tooth and nail. But eventually I got them both… more » Wednesday June 30, 2010
Got home, used the new tool. Had the wheel off in 5 minutes.Of course after I got the wheel off I started thinking... do I really want to replace this? I measured the tread depth... 1/8". Or think of it as 4/32nds... Definitely supposed to replace… more » Yesterday after work I had one thing to accomplish that night. Pull my motorcycle tires. I failed. First I removed my rear tire. One of the bolts got on there pretty good, so it took a bit to remove. But I got it off. Then there was the front. I h… more » Monday June 28, 2010
After work today I got my bike ready, and headed to Eric's house, arriving at 6:15. Jason pulled up at the same time. Eric however, wasn't going to make it on time. We called to see if he would for sure be off by 7, which sounded doubtful. So Jason a… more » Saturday June 26, 2010
Friday after work I first went over to Ryan Reimann's house to clean a virus off his computer. While doing that he mentioned that Eric would be home alone as his family all went up to a cabin. As soon as I was done with the computer I rode over to Eric… more » Friday June 25, 2010
After work I rushed over to Eric's work and picked him and his bike up. We then cruised up to Jason's place, where the plan was to ride up Mueller Park. Little did I know they were about to change the plan.
As we got ready, loading our camelbaks, Ja… more » Wednesday June 23, 2010
Yesterday after work I booked home and got my mountain bike all together. Hurried and changed, then headed down to pick up Eric's bike & gear. Then I cruised up to Red Butte to meet up with Jason and Eric and ride. Jason warned me that parking suc… more » Monday June 21, 2010
Tonight after work I immediately got into my cycling gear, and got going on my road bike. I rememberd my computer this time, and thought I would do the same course as last week. Before I got to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon I decided to change… more » Saturday June 19, 2010
Friday was Lagoon day for my work. I was pretty much solo at work. I was able to get Rich to cover the help desk for the rest of the day, and was able to leave a little early. I booked it up to Lagoon to join Eric & Natalie & their kids. I me… more » Friday June 18, 2010
Yesterday after work I jumped on the road bike and headed out. I realized after I left that I forgot my computer. Doh! I rode up towards the mouth of the canyon. Rather than my usual turn right and ride until I die, I decided to turn left. I ended u… more » Tuesday June 15, 2010
Saturday was pretty mellow. I mostly chilled at home, and did a bit of cleaning. At 4:00 I headed over to Steve and Becky's open house. After it ended we chilled and talked until about 7:00, when we all headed home.
Sunday I went to Cathy Tice's vi… more » |
