Rides... Updates..

So my last ride was at the Daley Ranch on Thursday which was a good quick ride.  I remember when Daley was the 2 to 3 hour weekend ride and now we do it as a weekday quick ride its nice to look back and see the progress put into that kind of perpective.

No Ride

No ride today but I am looking forward to tomorrow's ride at La Costa.

Hodges to Lusardi goodness

Rode one of the sections for the archipelago that I was kind of worried about today and enjoyed it in a kind of masochistic way.  It was 28 miles and 2928 ft of climbing.  It was a fun ride and I don't really feel as bad as I would of doing a ride like that a year ago or even 6 months ago.  Anyway it's just an update.

Oh Las Calaveras...

So my last ride was Hodges last Thursday, which in my opinion is a pretty easy ride which didn't really help me for today's ride.  The ride we do at Calavera's is fun we get a bit of elevation and a ton of flowy single track.  It's been a while since I have been there and this was the first time there on my 1x9 instead of a single speed and it was for as gay as it sounds WONDERFUL I still stopped at some climbs but I think that is a mental thing I have to get past from single speeding because all the spots I wanted or did stop at were my old SS resting spots.  Anyway I don't have the info from today's route when I get it I will update it here.  I plan on riding for the next 3 days with a solo ride on Wednesday at Lake Hodges should be fun next week is the archipelago which is still intimidating me mentally.  So the stats for this ride are 12 miles and 2364 ft of climbing.

Fatboy needs to slim.

So I originally started this blog to kind of remind me to ride due to the fact I was pushing 290(read Fatty boombalatty) at one point in my life.  Right now I sit at 246lbs (read just Fatty)  I was down to 230ish before Thanksgiving of 2010 and then I got lazy about watching what I eat.  Well it's time for me to get back on track ride more and lose about 25 lbs because that is what my Dr. claims is my recommended weight.  I'm going to post ride reports and updates on the weight loss, not that anyone reads this thing its more for me, than you selfish bastards anyway!

Frame Replacement...

Well I got good news this week,  I received a call from the bike mechanic at my LBS letting me know that I am getting a replacement frame.  I was thinking of selling the AC when it was replaced but to my surprise he informed me that they didn't have anymore AC frames and will be sending a 2008 Reign frame.  Bad news I sold my pike,  it's steerer tube was cut too short so it probably wouldn't of fit anyway but it would of been nice to try and see first.  Now I am on the hunt for a 140mm air fork, hopefully a fox cause then selling the pike(for 80 dollars more than I paid for it) would have been worth it.  I will post pic's soon I hope. 

Broken Frame and new(old) bike...

Well I broke my Giant AC again and decided it was time for a new build on a different frame while I wait for the warranty on the Giant, which most likely get rebuilt.  I had a old frame given to me by my friend Dougilicious.  I primed and painted it rattle can style which actually didn't turn out to bad.  The build is pretty nice and it is a single speed for now I thought I would try it out at as many places to see how I like it...  and now for some pictures.

Gas Powered!!!

I think I found a new purpose for pictures and photoshop that I can use mtn biking photos for, here is the latest.

DOMO drop

Just because...

Soooo.... Oh yeah yer!

So I have been on one ride since my last post woot woot... Just an update so I can see how pitiful I have been

ALRIGHT! Will the real Spec - ED please stand up!

Okay so I know I haven't posted I also haven't been riding... Both I need to start doing, I have a issue with rides cause I don't enjoy them but one of the main reasons I haven't enjoyed them is my fitness which has gone to total crap.. I'm up to 275+ lbs wtf. I probably just need to remember a few inspiring words from Gorilla Zoe

"A whole lot of n***** talk a whole lotta shit
But when it goes down they ain't fin' to do shit
Do somethin, do somethin (DO ANYTHANG~)!"

Anyway the 2 of you that read this will probably give me shit when I don't go on a ride and refer to it but I think I need that anyways Thanks Spec Ed iz out!

Mission Trails... again..

Today I went to Mission trails with Pac-manolicious and did the ride we did the first time we went there which is a fun little round about. Our 2 man rides are always fun a laid back, there was shit talking, grab assing, and not to mention cuddle bugging... uh just kidding about the shit talking part. Well this is where the pictures should go but I only had a panorama and one of Pac-Man's legs and wheels on a switch back maybe I will edit and put them in later.. Anyway Spec-Ed iz out!!!

Today we went to Mission trails....

Hrmm Mission Trails...

Well a few weeks ago I rode mission trails with Pac to the Man and company and that was fun, so fun I want to do it regularly on Saturday mornings. I went there last weekend and brought the not so little one... aka M to the izzle or Micheal as he was deemed on his Birth certificate, that was a fun ride lots of complaints of legs hurting and things looking scary as well as threats of bodily harm for walking made(Just Kidding). We are going to do it again this weekend on take your kid biking day, hopefully it will be more fun for the both of us. I will try to bring a camera and take pictures of the fun or tears.
