Mid-Valley Crits - It's getting good...

This weeks crits were very fun having one of the largest beginner groups to date. We have started something big. We got a few visitors wanting to check it out before taking a dip.  Next week things should be even bigger.  I felt  good on the crit yesterday, this video shows me in action. I'm the larger dude lol... Hey I give it all I got!

Here is the video of the beginners in action. If you have a chance to get your feet wet in racing, it will make you even more addicted to the sport!

Cyclist Hospitalized After Being Struck by Car...

Cyclist Hospitalized After Being Struck by Car

Looking at the that picture it is a miracle how he could have just a couple broken ribs.  Manny is part of our cycling group and this could have been any of us.  It's crazy out there and you can do everything right but you never know how the others are doing.... we can only pray and hope for the best, no matter how hard we try to be safe anything can happen...  

My first Century Jalapeno 100 bicycle tour...

With the Jalapeno 100 just around the corner I wanted to post a video of me doing it one year ago.  I have come a long way. At this point I had just started cycling for about 5 months on and off.  I had set the goal of doing the 100 miles when I started dieting.  I was determined to lose the pounds!

Performance is what it is about!!!!...

Yessss! lol

The amazing story of a woman who lost 500 pounds...

Don't stop on a sprint...

If you get tired, get out of the way!!!!

Super Fast Cadence...

Well they say you should train to have a fast cadence so you can go more miles and go faster but this is kinda crazy! They are on rollers which makes it even more difficult to keep your balance and go that fast. Well I call this video FAKE but sure looks cool.

Bike crashes into a car during bike race...

Was checking this video out and thought to myself "Why is there a car there in the first place!!!?"

Ouch that looked like it hurt. That is one of my fears, ramming straight into a car. Every time I pass by a parked car I'm just waiting for the door to open and mess my whole training ride up! Scary!

HCG Diet - 30 Day Weight Loss Program - Lose 30 Pounds Safely w/o Inject...

Hmmm, What do you think about this?

A new fad diet.... A way of making money off of naive people...

Well I think this is the dumbest thing ever and the most unhealthy way to lose weight. It's a crash diet times 10! So what this guy does is inject you with growth hormone for 30 days and you only eat 500 calories a day making you lose 30 lbs at the end of the month.

Do you see something wrong here? ummm first of all after years and years of people dieting and rebounding it is proven that in order to lose weight you have to train your mind to eat less, and exercise more in order to lose 2 lbs a week to be healthy and learn to keep the weight off.

Well this doctor says that he can make you lose weight.... sure your gonna lose weight! You don't need to pay anyone to lose weight if your just eating 500 calories a day!!! That in itself will make you shed the pounds. If anyone gets on this diet, I say there is a 99% chance that they will gain all the weight plus some in a few weeks.

Then the fact that you are putting a synthetic growth hormone that you body already makes can't be good!  Injecting yourself with hormones make your body think that you don't need that hormone as much as you needed before because it gets used to the extra hormone.  Now you just screwed your body when its not present anymore.  That can't be good either.  

The reason I'm talking about this is that there are people passing out flyers at the flea markets saying this the best thing since sliced bread. Feeding off the same people that believe that herbalife will change their lives. You don't need to spend money on these things if you are not gonna change the way you live for the rest of you life. In order to keep this weight off you have to make a commitment to continue being healthy forever. These miss a meal diets make lazy fat people lose weight, but the become lazy fatter people once they stop paying for the fad diet. The weight did not come on over night, so don't expect it to come off so fast.

GOOD OL' EXERCISE and HEALTHIER EATING IS ALL YOU NEED!

Copenhagen Denmark is a sweet place...

This is totally awesome.  This city has more rights for cyclist than cars.  Everyone uses bikes because the city promotes a healthy living, better air and better standards of life.  The way they get everyone to buy bikes is by making a whole bunch of bike lanes, giving tax benefits for owning a bicycle, making it impossible to buy a car by taxing them at 200% over the purchase price.  And if you do get yourself a car you have to pump out $6 bucks for  a gallon for gasoline!!!!

Well it's working, the streets are packed with cyclist.  They carry groceries, run errands and do pretty much everything on their bikes. I don't see that many obese people in the video. Shows that the plan is working.  Would be awesome if there were more people out there motivated to better themselves. We should adopt all their pro-cycling activities!  Just leave the 200% tax out of it.. lol Texas is too big without a car lol!

"I can't lose weight!" EXCUSES EXCUSES!!!  Get off your butt and do something!

TOUR DE GRUENE soundtrack

This song will forever be embedded in my brain as the TOUR DE GRUENE song. Billy played this song the whole trip. Too funny. The good thing is that whenever we hear this song it will take you back to the day. Good times. Music has a way of taking you back.

"RACE ACROSS AMERICA" A Film by Stephen Auerbach ...

This is a movie that I have been wanting to see for a while now. This is dedication, this shows that anything is possible. The amazing feats the human body can do if you try hard and set your mind to it.

What not to do while going down...

Wow, that was a weird title...no homo! lol One thing you should not do when taking a decent is THINK TWICE! Don't panic or it could end in a FAILBLOG moment!
