He rode by my car on his way to the TT, then proceeded to beat me by 10:21. Obviously his wind tunnel training is paying off.

Unique New Mexico (much easier to say 3 times fast)

Maybe my tent isn’t so bad.

Some performance art on the TT course.

Maybe Home Depot sold these toilets in the home and garden section and this person got confused.

I almost collided with this at 35 mph. Crashing into a wolf and getting mauled would make a great vacation story.

Amongst all that beautiful scenery, that decapitated doll’s head stuck out at me. I think it’s a shiksah

You know you’re in a college town when you see a $2 beer being siphoned.

That is a Texas license plate with Lance Armstrong saying “Share the Road Y’all.”

Texas is taking that “everything is bigger here” too far. That’s a 20 serving Rice Crispy Treat. Too bad it doesn’t fit in the pocket of my bike jersey.

I couldn’t find a podium picture, but there is one of me racing here.

En Route to Tour of the Gila

April 21st, 2009

I stayed with a friend in Tallahassee last night and in the morning stopped by Walmart on my bike ride to get new head phones (I left mine in Tampa). On the way out, the door greeter asked me if I had a receipt for my bike. I don’t think she’s a cyclist.

I drove into New Orleans today – here’s a photo of a guy I met at a bar and the most beautiful waterfall in the world:

Future Challah Famer

April 14th, 2009

American Jew-nior Adam Leibovitz finishes third in Belgium stage race – check out the Velonews Article here. I stole “Challah Famer” and “Jew-nior” from Eric Weis.

Eric, I decided to give you credit instead of a free jersey.

Austin, Texas

April 10th, 2009

I’m passing through Austin, Texas on the way to The Tour of the Gila if anyone wants to show me some southern hospitality.

Segal Bike Weight and Tour of the Gila

April 8th, 2009

I weighed my bike race ready – It is a size 50 with full SRAM Red and Zipp 303 wheels. Including pedals, bike computer and bottle cages, it weighs 13.8 pounds.

Still looking for housing for Tour of the Gila in Silver City, New Mexico. . . Anyone. . . Bueller. . .

Segal Bikes Gets Crash Tested

March 22nd, 2009

My Segal Bike hit the asphalt yesterday and is no worse for wear. It did a front flip, stuck the landing and finished the race. My butt hurts.
