Ok, I don’t want to do a list of 53 not so funny things that make yesterday my favorite holiday, but the number refers to one reason this years July 4th was awesome. It’s a product line called Nutrition53, created by Bill Romanowski, that I’ve been sampling the last few weeks. Thursday night I talked […]

Christmas in July
Today I posted for the first time to the Garmin Blog. It was all about my new Garmin Edge 705, and the longest story ever about a 15 minute bike ride. I just wish I had some pictures of me standing on the side of the road, wearing a Speed Racer jersey. It was my […]
“That’s like putting 20 pounds of Manure into a 10 gallon Bag”
I tried to get more done this week than I had time for, so today I am pretty busy still fitting stuff in. Mainly what I still have to do is pack for the next eight weeks that I will spend “on the roadâ€. Tomorrow I go back to Marin where I will house sit […]
A Quarter Century
I love birthdays. I really try to remember them with my friends, and do something to make them special. I feel like everyone deserves a day in the year where they can be the center of attention. Today was my day, and even though it was fairly uneventful, I had quite a happy birthday. I […]
Happy 5th Birthday (Repost from 1988)
My mommy told me last night that I was born at 12:13am, so I could stay up really late. I fell asleep and mommy and my sister ‘u’an carried me to bed because I didn’t wake up. Today I get to have a birthday party and Tyler is coming over and ‘u’an and me can […]
Seattle for a Week
The season is officially in full swing, and that means I will be home in Seattle a very small number of days between now and November. I got back today, and will be trying to do as much as I can while I’m in town. Here’s my short list of things I have to do […]
I Want to Use my Computer
I’m having to remember how to post to my blog without MS Live Writer. it’s not hard, but when I’m using other people’s computers I can’t add pictures I’ve taken. Among the events where I took pictures that will not be posting until I’m back in Seattle tomorrow is the Mt. Diablo Hill Climb Time […]
I am not bencollins.org
I’ve been in Tiburon for nearly a month, and during this time I’ve met a few people that frequently read my weblog. Socially, this is quite challenging because 80% of the good stories I have from the past year, which I would normally use as ice breakers when I meet somebody, have already been told. […]
Is ITU draft legal racing easier the non-drafting?
No. That was rhetorical. It’s an all out effort, so by definition it is as hard as you an go. The real question is: does drafting make the bike leg so easy that it doesn’t test anyone? I don’t think so. People still get dropped (though not in the World Cups so much, but how […]
Such a good day
I woke up way too early today so I could swim in the Belvedere Lagoon with a bunch of working stiffs that have to catch a 7:20 ferry to San Francisco. I made fun of a few people for swimming poorly, which I regret. Normally when I’m mean about swimming I follow it up with […]
