I have been put in lock-down mode by coach to so I can recover from being sick. We are “throwing in dirt and building a mound” on this hole I seemed to have slipped in. That would explain my lack of posts this week.
The good news is that I am now 100% healthy and will resume training on Tuesday. I can hardly wait!!!! I also am revamping my road bike a little bit, so a few different parts will be coming in this week. Thompson is helping me out with a new stem and seatpost. I have a set-back at the moment, and I also am not comfortable on my bars, so I got a 0 degree setback seatpost and a stem with a little more rise. Also, I got the FSA SLK carbon road handlebar to try out. I was debating between that and the K-wing, but I will give this a try first. I also have this saddle on the way so my bootay stops hurting so much on rides. Taint you very much. With my new cockpit, I should be excited to hop on the skinny tires.
Mr. Kerkove was at Frostbike this weekend, so with him gone and no bike rides, I had a ton of free time this weekend. It was a totally foreign feeling. I spent a large chunk of time with my friends who were psyched to have my back in their possession for a weekend. I also undertook a massive early spring cleaning project. No, I cannot sit still. I went through all my boxes in the storage closet and my normal closet. I am a pack rat, and a clutterbug so it was a task. I threw away 2 huge black garbage bags worth of crap and also filled my whole trunk up with stuff to give to the Salvation Army. It took two days, but I got through it all, and it’s a great feeling to know I have less stuff.
My room was a construction zone.
I was also stoked that Sunflower Market had blueberries and strawberries on sale last week. Adding that to my oatmeal along with almonds, flaxseed, soymilk, and agave nectar is one of my favor breakfasts. mmmm.
I also made some killer brownies a second ago to welcome my manny man back and to pass out to my friends. NOM NOM NOM!
I CAN’T WAIT TO RIDE!!! Patience is a tough game sometimes.
I sent you a link to my piano compositions. Is there anything you can’t do? Cook, play guitar, pro mountain biker, engineer, and great personality…. ad infinitum. The pictures of the food is making me hungry. My bike is an Italian Pro Team Viner built by GVH bikes in Oregon. I have a FSA carbon seat post, handle bars and stem. I’m not sure the aero dynamic handle bar makes that much difference. Being a math wiz, you could probably figure it out. I use a Terry Fly and find the terry saddles to be of very high quality and comfortable. Listen to your body and don’t hurt yourself by pushing too soon.

mmmmm….brownies.
Silverado = happy undercarriage.
Hi Sonya, I enjoy reading your and kerkove’s blogs. Did I happen to see you on Saturday eve at the Mountain Sun?
Hi Bobby! Yeah… that was me. 🙂 I went to the Avery Maharaja party before that… it wasn’t pretty. wink. You should have said hi!!!
If you continue to have saddle problems I suggest checking out the SDG Bel Air RL Ti saddle. Super comfy and the rear portion hugs your tailbone really well. Works great for me! The Ti version is super light too.

Be carefull with the bike fit and the new seatpost. Fore- aft seatposition is for power and not really comfort adjustment. If you were too far back from the crank, then the new seatpost is ideal. Enjoy the bike stuff!
those are brownies? it looks like you dumped 18 bags of chocolate chips into a pan!
my bfast looked the exact same today! YUM! Are you heading out to the circus in Fontana? They are already doing an AWESOME job at the venues…also, that Jason guy is hot…
