spring flowers and blossoms

mean a few things...bees, McLane/Merco, flat road races in the Central Valley...and judging by the last post, starting the Kern taper sooner rather than later...

training like jan

haven't had these snow pants on in a few years...yikes, they must have shrunk...or maybe too many naps in January and February and not enough after work rides

pretty day in Tahoe, and I believe this does count as high altitude training





long drive





smells like home

daisy loves the snow

Minnie wants to go back inside

so does marscat...



yes lauren, the same blundstones...

i missed Cipo

and Marscat practiced her pushing cus' we thought he might need it...

local guy Cozza with with a mustache reminiscent of the 1970s As

For Flandria...

Wonder what happened to Tyler?

20 seconds of the TOC

Not a lot of air time, but sometimes there is none. So, just a snippet.

The kitties would not be happy if they knew what I was up to today...but, I couldn't resist since this little doggie was so cute last year. I think she grew some from 2007 and now she has a little red tongue.


This is what I got. How pretty. I love flowers.

pie ride no cherry pie

We went on a pie ride, and I took lots of pie pictures. Lilly Bella wanted me to a take this picture, and I had no idea why. Upon closer inspection, it was quite clear. But seriously, how was I to know there was a door there? After all, it was before pie, and I was low on sugar.

Here is pie, and look how civilized we look.
But, this was only temporary.
