All good things must come to an end, but I just realized that I’m done with one day road races for the season.  I suppose now it makes sense why they have the OBRA State Championship race so early in the season – all the one day road racing is done as of June. The [...]

Yesterday I packed up everything at my aunt and uncle’s house (which was easy, because most of my stuff never got unpacked) and said goodbye to the room I’ve called home for the last 5 months: And with help from my aunt and uncle, dumped all my stuff in my new place. I got halfway [...]

My race report from the Rehearsal Road Race today: Whew that was fun! The first two laps were spent sputtering along with no one willing to do work at the front. Team O had a big turnout and major props to Andrew, Larry, and Alan, for going to the front and mixing things up. The [...]

Just in time to move and do away with this lousy 45 mile round trip commute to work, I think I’ve finally figured it out.  On the way in, if I leave at 7:35-7:40AM I get to work between 8:30-8:35AM fairly reliably.  However, if I leave at 7:30AM, I get there about 8:10-8:15.  I found [...]

My report from the Team Oregon forum: I’m glad we had a morning race. It’s hot out for everyone racing right now. The 4s race was fairly non-eventful. The first lap was moderate pace and I sat 10th-20th wheel most of the lap. Most of the second lap was painfully slow save for the longest [...]

That’s the longest I’ve gone without blogging since last July.  I’ve posted 231 times since the beginning of last July, amazingly enough.  So I better get back to it, huh? Anyway, lots new to report and nothing new to report at the same time.  This was my first week at work.  I was ready to [...]

Everyone seems very caught up in the whole idea of internet monetization these days.  One of the problems most websites seem to have when deciding on a revenue model is dealing with the fact that people aren’t used to paying for internet services.  As a result, ad-supported models are the most common revenue source on [...]

Monday night Chris was in town to help with the novice racing clinic at PIR, so he came by and we went over to McMenamins, grabbed some food and caught up.  The biggest news?  On  Sunday night he got engaged!  I’m really excited for them, as Chris and Karey are one of my favorite couples [...]

Where to start… Wednesday I spent the day watching my cousin’s son (my first cousin once removed).  I generally have more than enough energy, but I think I was outdone by this little guy: He went non-stop all day.  Legos, play dough, table tent, the playground, the creek, a movie, and more.  Nap time consisted [...]

Here’s a video that I threw together from footage from a helmet cam worn by a teammate recently.  The race was the Tuesday Night Race at Portland International Raceway – the same race night I blogged about recently.  The video gives you a bit of a sense as to what it’s like to be going [...]
