If I make my $1000 it will give me entry into the Jersey Shore TdC. If that happens (and I'm trying to make sure it does), I'll certainly want to ride that as well.

I'll be riding the century in the St. Louis TdC on June 2nd. I'm the captain of the local Team Red & invite any who want to ride with us to let me know. I'd like to ride in either the Louisville Tour on May 19th or the Republic,…

Not sure about under "Red Riders", but certainly under "Cycling Diabetics". Please do post the links for your Phoenix TdC, though!

I am registered for the Tour de Cure here in Phoenix March 24th, but I haven't really got my fundraising going. I'm also considering a JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes. Would it be appropriate to promote those here also?

Newark, DE on May 12th, Team Tosh Philly on June 2nd, Team Red Jersey Shore on September 15th, Team Red, but am co-committed to the MS Hops to Hops on the 16th, so may not ride TdC to save my legs for those H2H climbs.

The Strength of Judith

Posted on December 17, 2009 at 10:10am 6 Comments 0 Likes

While not part of the Tanakh (Jewish version of the Old Testament), the tale of Judith and Holofernes is associated with Chanukah. The short version of the tale is that Judith, a Jewish widow, meets the (unwanted) sexual advances of Holofernes, a Greek general (and in the context of the Chanukah story, one of the enemy leaders) by inviting him to dinner and feeding him very salty foods -- such as cheese --… Continue

Rolling My Own... cycling clothes?

Posted on December 1, 2009 at 8:35am 0 Comments 0 Likes

While I don't consider myself a "serious enough" cyclist for real cycling clothing (aka "spandex striders", "lycra louts", etc.), it's hard to argue with its functionality. Cleats give me a 360-degree stroke; close-fit spandex means the legs don't interfere with that stroke, my pants don't get caught in the chain, and I can (in theory) access tissues, a map, or a cellphone mid-ride. I could argue that with the Dolce, these garments are a… Continue

Thanksgiving Meme

Posted on November 26, 2009 at 5:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes

I've seen this meme popping up around the Internet, figured I'd give it a try...

1. What are the traditional favorites?

Turkey, stuffing, gravy, candied yams, cranberry sauce

2. What new recipes will you try this year?

Used a different recipe for whole wheat bread than I have in the past.

3. What part of the meal do you never compromise?

Turkey and stuffing. Has to be there, or it's not Thanksgiving. And sweet potatoes… Continue

Hard to say "Goodbye"... to a "Steel Horse"

Posted on October 11, 2009 at 5:51am 1 Comment 0 Likes

On July 19, 2009, the minor frame damage that my 1981 19" Lotus Excelle mixte bicycle withstood early in its life progressed to the point of making the vehicle unrideable. On July 25, I purchased a 2008 Specialized Dolce 44cm to replace it. The following week, I upgraded from cage clips to a clipless cleat system. Shortly after, the Excelle was placed in storage, with the thought of stripping it for parts, and/or selling it for parts. (As it turns out, I can't use parts from that bicycle on… Continue

The Deliberate Returning

"On Rosh Hashanah it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed: who shall live and who shall die...who shall perish by fire and who by water; who by sword, and who by beast; who by hunger and who by thirst; who by earthquake and who by plague..."

Yom Kippur -- known in English as the Day of Rememberance or the Day of Atonement, the culmination of the High Holy Days (or Days of Awe) -- is the day in which Jews believe that G-d seals His Judgements for the coming year. If one were to… Continue

My deepest heartfelt condolences. I lost my mom 20 years ago, and it is still felt. Do you have family with you?

At 4:43pm on June 6, 2010, PatientX said…: good luck on your ride. I think for me the anticipation of possible lows was worse than the ride it self. I managed to stay at a good 120 average throughout the ride by drinking G2 from gatorade. Half the amount of carbs than the other stuff. Have fun and update us on how the ride went.
