I love coming home from work at 6 or 6:15 in the summer and going for ride! Those of you that work at a bike shop and don't have to be to work until 10am... I'll be nice and just say I envy you. In order to get adequate time to ride during the week, we nightride!In the past, my nightriding has been http://evilgeniusbike.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-100th-post.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brian Kunz)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152423449431488502.post-7943530283169531841Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:19:00 +00002009-10-08T22:23:48.248-04:00http://evilgeniusbike.blogspot.com/2009/10/blog-post.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brian Kunz)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152423449431488502.post-6154524458788236301Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:18:00 +00002009-09-26T19:28:44.008-04:00 Rode the new bike 42 miles this morning!

She puts up with me being stressed out and grumpy all day at work, most of you know we work together. She doesn't complain when I rush home and jump right on my bike, leaving her to fix her own dinner. She often makes dinner for the 2 of us so I can eat when I get back from riding, or offers to make something just for me. She doesn't mindhttp://evilgeniusbike.blogspot.com/2009/09/15-years.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brian Kunz)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152423449431488502.post-2949743627346153905Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:23:00 +00002009-09-03T23:35:29.338-04:00No bike yet, AARRGGGHH! It's been 30 days since I ordered it. Didn't make the 2nd practice crit. Started this one at 6:15. Hard to make it that early. All signed up for the Shenandoah Valley Century on the 13th. Looking forward to that... would be nice to have a new bike! Dont make me drive to Wisconsin. Starting the Bikebeat Saturday shop ride back up.

Here is a crappy scan of a picture downloaded from Treks' Project One website. This is the bike I ordered 2 weeks ago. Still have 2-4 weeks waiting for it. AARRGGGG!

Thank you for my freedom. May God bless America. The bathrooms are plastered! What a mess! We went with a smooth finish plaster instead of just a skim coat. Hopefully that will be more durable.

They played almost all the hits, plus a few others. Their version of "Hey Joe" by Jimmy Hendricks was cool.They seemed to have a good time the whole show.Several different guitars. We had a good time! Even though these guys are getting older they still sound good. Go see them if you get the chance.

I took my parents and grand parents to eat at McCormick and Schmicks Seafood in the Va Bch. Town Center. Seafood has to be fresh for me to eat. The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. I recommend it if you have a little coin to drop for a special occasion. On the homefront, glad to have a shower operational at the house!

Really, really looking forward my first Jefferson Cup. Spent this years race in the parking lot putting on a alternator. At least I wasn't on the side of the interstate! What do you expect for a truck with 225,000 miles? Hopefully I'll have a new whip before next year. The Casey Crit was fun. I felt good sitting in the back to middle of the pack.

Did I get to take advantage of it? No! Well today it was in the 60's, and I was determined to ride. When the normal schedule gets me home about 6-6:30, that leaves a hour until dark. A 20 mile ride outside is light years better than a hour on the trainer. As sunset gets later, the ride time will increase.This was the first ride with my Cat http://evilgeniusbike.blogspot.com/2009/03/something-good-happened.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Brian Kunz)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152423449431488502.post-4545010053286197578Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:18:00 +00002009-03-15T20:40:15.772-04:00Slack on the posting as of late. The Snowball Crits sucked! Not up to speed literally. Got to get on the ball! If anything good happens, I'll let you know.Movies I watched on the trainer this winter: Kill Bill #1 (did not like #2), Dodge Ball, Starsky and Hutch, 40 Year Old Virgin, Reservoir Dogs, Planet Terror, Kill proof, and training DVDs'.

Riding the trainer and going to the gym are great in the winter months, but there is no substitute for a good fitness base. Not ready to turn up the intensity too much too soon, Gregory and I decide to do a easy but longer ride. Turns out its hard to do a easy ride when the wind is blowing 20 mph!Leaving the house around 9:15 the temperature was already around 50.

Most of the JRVS/Casey Auto team lives on the peninsula and regularly do this ride from the Waller Mill parking lot. Looking for a change of pace, Greg and I head up Sunday morning.
