Sooo... whats been going on since, ummm... July? Well, really not that much, at least in the form of cycling. Slowly after finding a job and getting medical coverage again, I had to come to grips with the fact that my knee was... hmmm... how would I put it... proper fucked, as the English would say, or would they.
Anyway, lots of rehab, acupuncture, chiro, physical therapy, PT, message therapy (and not in the cool way) and time off the bike. So as the has winter descended upon California, bringing temperatures down to a blistering 75 degrees, I have slowly began to get the road miles down again. Tendinitis is a pain in the ass, and although it's not all gone, I have been able to ride with out writhing in pain.
Last note on the knee thing... remember to stretch... always stretch. I rode like a jack ass until something had to give. Done.
Ok... sooo... here is my half ass attempt to get back into blogging and wasting at least some of my time writing about my adventures in cycling... and... Yes, my illusive dream of being a Wannabe Pro.
Below is just a quick pic of my new winter project. After being out on a road ride in November, I stumbled upon a cross race in Glendale... at Verdugo Park. I stood and spectated for a while, and decided that Cross looks pretty damn fun, and would like to test my skill at racing next season. So as luck would have it, a couple months later my brother bestowed upon me one of the greatest gifts one man can give to another. He gave me a bike frame... and a really sick one at that. So at the current moment I am scouring Ebay and bike buddies for parts to build up my new toy.

So here's to yet another attempt to get this blog going again, hopefully with some more epic rides, race reports, product reviews, bike builds, and anything else cycling related that my average of 8 visitors per day would like to waste sometime reading about.
FYI... Crashed Again on the Saturday Ride... Ugghh, I kinda suck at riding, honestly.
