Feeling like a slug, go ride!

Bummed about not riding in the Tour de Palm Springs this year. Rode around the neighborhood just to get out of the house.

Had a reaction to my first infusion of Erbitux so they gave me a 9-day dose of Prednisone. Broke out in the worst case of zits ever. Good thing this won't last.

More Erbitux on Monday, gastro tube inserted on Tuesday (oh boy) and start radiation on Wednesday.

Sexiest Bike Video

I admit to having a lot time on my hands (cancer and underemployed), so I've been researching bicycle videos. I like to occasionally post them on my two bike web sites: www.bicyclepalmsprings.com and cyclechico.com. There are a lot of first person vidoes on YouTube, but most of are average quality. On Vimeo.com I've found some well produced projects. These are the sexiest bike video I've seen.

Ride Envy

I went to the office yesterday and put in half a day, all I could stand. Shame on me, I drove the old Jeep. My excuse? It was early and cold. I left at 12:30 and took the widow canvas off, it had warmed up. On my way home I passed a dozen riders about my age at a 4-way stop on my way to the store,  Looked like they were on their way to Old Town La Quita or points south. Good for them, sad for me. Still not strong enough. Damn.
