San Diego, California

I have finally arrived and yes in one piece! I had some problems at the airport in Weslaco as when the airplane landed and everyone got off the plane got a warning light. So I was set back about 3 hours.
This was a pain but I would rather be safe then sorry! I admit they handled the problem to the best of their ability and got me going en route as fast as possible. I am here in my hotel room in San Diego, California and the weather and people both have been pleasant!
Below is a picture of a "weed" along the sides of the Texas roads. Of course like always I exaggerated the color and the "size" of the small pest! :)

"Ride Against Hunger"

Ok first off it's not the "Ride FOR Hunger" It's the ride"against" hunger! I screwed that up several times! It's always good to ride your bike and it's always better to ride your bike for something unselfishly. The turn out was pretty good A LOT of people showed up super early, I was surprised about that! A very organized ride with rest stops but in the right places. There was a crash though, but I was not around for it and really don't know the details... I just saw a lot of broken sunglasses from Dr. Posada and Oscar Zavala.
Below I snuck a pic of Randy ;)
Pictures of my group that I rode out with...
Jeff all the way from Houston riding his new MTB!
& other shots!

I only have a couple of days left before I go back on the road. I have had a lot of fun while I was back home in town and truly appreciate the things and people that I have in my life!

Some Pics from the Road

That's almost all my pictures because of my camera malfunction :(

I hope that I will find a replacement before I leave on Thursday! I will be flying back to San Diego for the Rock and Roll Marathon. After that I will be driving to Austin so I'll be back in Texas!

I'm Back...

I'm finally back home... I will be in town for a week at least. I have some serious jet lag right now since it was a 3 hour time difference. I eventually will post the rest of my pictures plus I have some bad news, My camera broke while I was on the road. I will see what I can do to get another one because I missed out on some really good pictures of Sea Lions and Alcatraz!

OK here's another update, just left Arizona and it is 2:44 in the morning here in California. Looks like I will meet my deadline of making San Fransisco! :)I'll take some pics and update later to let you know how the Bay to Breakers 12k run goes :)

I changed my template and it's just so that I can access it. My laptop would crash when I attempted to use internet explorer like it probably did on other peeps computer also. I'll redo the whole thing when I some more time and of course add all the links back!

Update from Orlando to Kerrville

I have plently of pictures from the trip and of course some pictures of Mickey Mouse! :)
Below is a pro racer for Jelly Belly... cool huh? ;)
I left from orlando yesterday around 6p.m.Today I am in Kerrville, TX we are having some truck problems so that will probably put us back a couple of hours that we couldn't afford to lose in the first place :(Oh well that's just life huh?My goal is to be in San Fransico, California by Wednesday night to set up shop for the race Bay to Breakers 12k run!
These are some pics of the room that I am staying at tonight... I'll post more pics and add more updates later as long as a get a room that has WiFi!

I'm out!

I am sitting here finishing packing, and waiting for the time to pass... I leave to Orlando, Florida in a bit!

Pedal to Padre

This past weekend I was at the beach "again." I attended a big ride called the Pedal to Padre, around 705 people showed up.

I guess I am doing a lot of "events" because I do not know if I will be in town or not. I officially received a call yesterday and an e-mail today confirming that I will be in Orlando Florida for the Triathlon.

So since I will be on the road a lot more I will be taking my running shoes with me and see what I can do to accommodate a bike :)

Above: My cousin which I was undeniably happy to see him out on the road again! he had his prom the night before and still showed up early in the morning :)


Above: Wellen, a face I have not seen in awhile... err or maybe my face is the one that hasn't been out lately?

Below are some pics from today's ride:
It's official I do hate dogs, I admit I have had my fair share of being chased but today was probably the worst one yet. I usually never really feel endangered I figured they just want to get a quick run in since they lay around not doing anything else. But today's episode was at the end of my ride on a really windy day! PLUS I truly feel like that dog wanted blood!

Lonestar Pacesetters Sadie Conde Benefit Ride
