Three weeks and counting

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Its been a while since any meaningful content - some might say there’s never meaningful content.
Anyway, I just saw the specialist - Dr Jensen in Orinda if you ever need a shoulder guy - its been 2 weeks since he operated on me, putting in a 4inch rod into the clavicle.  I’ve to go back […]

Wente is hot

April 26th, 2008 · No Comments

My helmet is […]

Thanks Martinez for taking cycling to heart, you show the way for cities in the east bay, and you put Walnut Creek and Danville to shame with their anti-bike approaches.
Thanks also for refunding Mex and […]
