“Classic” Wins.

29 May

A good 99 out of 100 television ads pass me by unnoticed, at least on any day without a Super Bowl.  From time to time however comes one that bucks the trend.  In this case a head-turning new car model teams up with a tuxedo-clad gentleman and one of my favorite singing voices of all time, altogether grabbing my attention just as intended.  After all, anything “classic” wins with me– the nostalgist at heart– even as I remain unlikely to purchase the product at hand.  Bottom line:  I’m sold– but not– while delighted that the classic is back.

In My Own Backyard…

16 May

While more than two hundred make their way through Italy, a smaller number of the big boys are back in the Golden State for our own annual week of pro cycling competition– of course the Amgen Tour of California.  From Santa Clarita through Ojai into Santa Barbara yesterday, it’s onward north today in this year’s first-time reverse of course direction.  For as much as I love watching these guys hammer through Europe, it’s all the more exciting to see them in my own backyard, on the very roads my own bike knows all too well!

Peter Sagan takes Stage 3 in Santa Clarita.

Tyler Farrar wins Stage 4 in Santa Barbara.

Just Like Old Times

23 Feb

It sure is nice to be back in the saddle on Pacific Coast Highway, especially on such a fine Saturday as this.

Another “Short” One

19 Jan

From the Golden Gate Bridge south into Daly City, it was a great start before my having to cut it short for time.

The Ride Cut Short

12 Jan

The repair ended up taking only about ten minutes.  This allowed enough time afterward to tack on an additional 12 miles to the initial 15, in order to piece together some semblance of a workout.  In the end, the ride cut short was not a total waste.  If this annoying detour should ever fall upon you, simply remember it’s a rather quick fix– especially if you time it around 9:30am just before the bicycle shops open!

So Where Are You?

06 Jan

After a night of rain, the crisp and relatively dry morning made for an excellent ride, however solitary.

Happy New Year & Cheers!

31 Dec

From domestic changes, professional challenges and unplanned adjustments, to exciting meals, picturesque cocktails and memorable dress-up events, this past year earns its chapter in my personal history as one of, shall we say, unique growth– literally and otherwise!  Suffice to say, no two 365-day increments are exactly alike, thankfully enough.  While a grand total of 4708 miles in the bicycle saddle call out to be surpassed in the coming months, various opportunities, strategies and decisions– those unmistakable elements that constitute overall life satisfaction– will only get better.  “The best is yet to come,” after all.  Altogether, taking the good with the not-so, may we all toast with a smile to our better moments of 2012.  Happy New Year & Cheers!
