I Looooove Faaaaaat Peopllllllle!


I celebrated my 4 year "surgiversary" on Monday. I had an Open Roux en Y Gastric Bypass back on 8-18-04.

Having weighed over 300lbs, I know how hard it is to live with morbid obesity. It's hard enough being obese, but it amazes me how effing heartless some people can be.

Most people that know me today have no idea I used to weigh so much. I had a totally different life then. And during that time, I heard a lot of mean shit.

I was called "KoolAid" by kids whenever I wore my big red shirt. (funny in a way, but F@#$'d up too)

Complete strangers would take food out of my shopping cart and ask, "Do you really need that?" Who does that?!?!

When I rode my bike (and this was only at 200lbs), I was stopped at a light and some a-hole asked me "aren't you too fat to be riding a bike?" Then they drove off laughing. WTF?

The stories go on and on...

So, I just want to take a minute to show some love to my peeps that are livin' large and fighting to find their fitness. Being a "loser" is a struggle, but keep up the fight. Eat well. Play hard. Live the life you want. You're not alone.

Body Condom


In light of the formal apology issued by the four American cyclists to the Beijing Olympic organizers for their grossly offensive actions (wearing filter masks, THE NERVE!), I have prepared my apology letter in advance of my trip to Interbike this year. Here it is;

"I offer my sincere apologies to the organizers of the Interbike International Bicycle Expo, the City of Las Vegas, the people of Nevada, the dancers at Cheetahs, the couple staying in the room next to mine and everyone in attendance at the Sinclair part for my offensive actions. It was not my intention to offend any one with the use of my USAC issued body condom. My wearing of the Body Condom was stricly precautionary and in no way intended as a policital or social statement."

Hannah Banks


(no Timpani pic yet, so here's one from Vacaville.)

Since first meeting Hannah at the Ronde Van Brisbane, I've become a big fan. I've got to give her some serious props. Okay, so she's a badass bike racer (her win at Timpani and her support of her VAC teammies is proof of that). Even cooler though, is how down to earth she is. I've had the chance to hang out with her a little and I've got to tell ya, she's one of the most level headed people I've ever met.

As a teacher of mainly twenty-somethings who are seeking to find their place in the world, it is very cool indeed to meet someone with such a clear vision of where she is, where she is headed and an understanding of the road that is going to get her there. Coolness personified in my book.

Hannah, congrats on the win yesterday and best of luck at San Rafael!
