The most immediate way to fight terrorism is to not give into it.
National security officials offer general, unsubstantiated assurances that they're keeping us safe without unduly invading our privacy. Does anyone actually believe that?

After authorities realized two of the hijacked planes had taken off from Boston's Logan Airport, FBI agents turned the airport into a crime scene.
The two planes that crashed into New York City's World Trade Center on 9/11 departed from Logan International Airport. Since then, Logan has become the front line of experimentation with new security measures.

With places set, plates of food at the ready and a small crowd gathered outside, Chuck Chronis brought out his best football voice.
"Tell everybody in the kitchen to get down here," the 74-year-old growled as he stood at the front parlor of Chronis' Restaurant and Lounge, preparing to open the doors for those gathered for a free, hot holiday meal.
The 15 or so volunteers, many of whom started at 6:30 or 7 a.m., clustered up front at his 9:55 a.m. call.
As a former Vancouver high school football, track and basketball star, you could easily forgive those present for feeling like this was the huddle before the big play — even if the call was coming from the running back instead of a quarterback.
"The most important thing, you have to greet these people," Chronis barked. "We want them to feel at home. Give them a smile, maybe a little sarcasm. We want them to feel like they're at a family dinner."
He dedicated the day to his longtime friend and co-founder of the 30-plus year tradition of handing out free meals for the holiday, Judge Rich Melnick, who looked a little irritated that the honor went to him instead of somebody else.
After the speech, Chronis issued his final order to the team.
"Everybody take their places," he said as he went to open the door, greeting the first comer — an elderly woman with a walker — with a smile, a hug and a booming "Merry Christmas young lady."
The feast lasted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with enough food for 500 guests.
Despite the gruff orders, Chronis and his troop of volunteers are a really a caring, selfless bunch. Most shift their own Christmas celebrations to the evening or to another day so they can spend the holiday serving others.
"Every year, it's sad that we do it, but it's great that we do it," Melnick said earlier in the morning as he prepared a tray of ham slices by trickling brown sugar and pineapple across the top. "Overall, we've never had a problem in 30 years. People come in, they appreciate it, and they're on their best behavior."
The kitchen and upper area were especially busy before the team opened the doors. Friends and family of both men cooked potatoes, sliced about 50 pies and scooped apple sauce into a host of small cups, among other things.
As Chronis chatted in the kitchen at around 8:30 a.m., his grandson, Jason Roberts, walked up behind him and gave him a quick, loving shoulder rub.
"Ham is in, beans are on, what about the gravy?" Roberts asked.
"We won't make the gravy for another half-hour," Chronis decreed.
The concoction, called red eye gravy, is a special mix that's popular in the south, Chronis said.
It includes smoked pork hocks, celery, carrots, onions, brown sugar, pepper, garlic, two cups of coffee, Tabasco sauce and vinegar, along with a few things that Chronis said were part of his secret recipe.
As he sat at the counter for a short coffee break, Chronis wife, Sandy, strolled out of the back with a variety of headbands adorned with reindeer antlers and decorative Santa hats.
"Girls, who wants to wear antlers?" she said, putting one of them on a volunteer's head.
"Maybe the boys want to wear them," Roberts said, tongue firmly in cheek. "What about us?"
Volunteer Kim Nigg, who works at the courthouse with Melnick, dipped her head as Sandy Chronis adorned her with her own set of antlers.
"I'm not really fond of wearing these little things, but it's OK," she said afterwards. "Doing this, though, volunteering? It's a small part of giving back to people in the community. It's not a lot but it means a lot to people. And it's fun."
Throughout the preparation hours, volunteers exchanged stories of their visitors in past years. There was the woman who saved all year and insisted on giving Chronis' $2 for her meal — even though he tried everything to get her to keep it. And the big guy who came back and told Roberts how grateful he was for the meal because it was something he never thought he'd need.
Stories about volunteers who died over the years also rang through the air. Melnick and Chronis fondly reminisced about Jim Larson, Ray Alvarado, Cindy Davis, Dick Coffman, Jake Jollota, Jack Bridger, Richie "Dino" Dyer and Jim Steiner, among others.
"A lot of our older volunteers have slipped away," Chronis said wistfully.
Chronis is feeling some of age's effects himself, having suffered a few small strokes in recent years, along with some older nagging injuries. But he said none of that will stop him from continuing to provide the free meals for those that need them next Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"As long as I'm in business, I'll do this forever," Chronis said.

On Guard
The Comte de Gonzague schemes against his cousin, the Duc de Nevers, even though he is the Duke's heir and will inherit his estates. The Count has kept secret the existence of the Duke's bastard, recently born. When the Duke learns of his child, he journeys to wed the mother, a baron's daughter, in her father's isolated chateau. The occupants of the castle are surprised and murdered by the Count and his men. The only ones to escape are the Duke's friend, the skilled swordsman Lagardère, and the infant, a girl, now the rightful heiress to the Duke's vast fortune. The Count believes the pair to have drowned, when in fact they have been concealed by a travelling troupe of Italian players. Twenty years pass. The Count has discovered that the two survive and seeks to have them slain. But Lagardère gains the confidence of the Count, and employment as his bookkeeper, through his clever disguise as a hunch-back...

A piece i did when i quit smoking
I like it xD I love how in the shadow the hand is holding the cigarette, like it's a shadow of reality, in the past. It's very good at representing your idea of 'quitting smoking'. The sketching of the hand is very good, though I think there should be a more play on the shading on the hand as well to create more form, though it is very good in itself. Also when shading from the darkest point of the shadows, to the lightest, you can try to blend the shadows more, from darkest to lightest, to create a smooth variation in shade. I hope I made that clear, I'm not good at explaining xD. Overall it is very good, it really makes me think.

Funding via Hattha Kaksekar Limited (HKL), a partner of Save the Children
For the past decade, Sily has earned a living by weaving silk into cloth, a skill she learned from her parents. She sells her finished goods to a middle man in the village, who then takes it to sell in the capital city of Phnom Penh, which is about 10 miles away. In addition to her weaving business, hard-working Sily also runs a small grocery shop in the front of her home.
To grow her businesses, Sily is requesting a loan of $700 U.S. dollars to purchase more food to sell and silk to weave.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

If it's anyone's first time coming to this meet, make sure you burn music on CDs to play them on laptops and CD players/transports. I kinda regret it when I was at CanJam and the chiunifi 2010 meet when I had my music stored in a usb hard drive.
Good idea, but I would recommend still bringing USB drives in addition to CDs. I will have my laptop there, and it doesn't have a disc drive :)

I was sceptic towards the remakes. I'm sceptic towards most remakes, because of my bad experience with them. Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories (entirely different game, but stay with me) was horrible, imo. It took most of the magic from the original GBA version away for me. I can't quite explain it, but it did.
Most remakes sort of spoil the original games for me...
HeartGold and SoulSilver though... congrats, Game Freak. They managed to re-make the Gold/Silver/Crystal games I loved most in the Pokémon series, but combined it with something new. I approve of the remake, but just this once. I stand by my opinion though, I despise remakes of timeless classics.
Pain is only temporary, giving up lasts forever.

Recession Keeps Stephen Starr Restaurants in the Family
Stephen Starr backs away from plans to divest himself of his eating empire in New York, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City.
Stephen Starr tells Gael Greene today that he's taking shares of his restaurants off the market. (Who knew they were even on the market?) "We wanted a compatible partner to help grow the business aggressively. We talked to some people I didn't feel were the right match for us." Starr also revealed plans for a 120-room boutique hotel in Manhattan, though he declined to give a location. And he dished to the Insatiable Critic about B.R. Guest stakeholder Barry Sternlicht. "I'm glad I didn't get bought by a Sternlicht or some other huge company where it's all about quick growth and not necessarily about quality and taste." Hear that, Steve Hanson?

Valdosta, GA - Neighborhood residents are evacuated when police have to talk down a man in an armed standoff.
Valdosta police say 48 year old Willie Brown barricaded himself in his home after his girlfriend called 911 early Saturday morning on East Martin Luther King Drive.
Police say he assaulted her in the course of an argument and she fled the house when he fired a shot into the air with a rifle. Police say he was drunk. Negotiators were able to quickly convince the man to surrender.
"Thankfully within about five minutes of speaking with him, actually less than that, he came out of the residence. He was arrested. No shots were fired at our officers and detectives. We did not have to employ any force on Mr. Brown," said Chief Brian Childress with the Valdosta Police Department.
Brown is in Lowndes County Jail charged with battery, discharging a firearm while intoxicated and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Company holiday and a gorgeous day in NC so headed to the NC mountains again to get in more climbing. I intentionally picked steeper roads today. That is one thing about NC you can get on roads with grades 10+% per cent. One of the climbs was 4.5 miles with grades mainly 13-15%. Another climb was 1.5 miles with grades 14-15%. A third was mostly 8-10% but with shortish pitches to 15%. I also took a new road that I thought was going to be mostly downhill. It was mostly downhill..........until it went back uphill!!! And when it did it was a 1/4 mile section of 16%.
I only did 56 miles but it came with 6300 ft of climbing. Pretty good training ride.

Mommy & Me Tumble Time
Mommy & Me Tumble Time is a great way for Mommy and Child to share quality time. Class is designed for children to participate with their parent in activities such as movement games in a circle, sing-a-long songs, and stretching. Mommy & Me class uses fun props and high energy music to create a wonderful learning environment for your child's first group class. Class concludes with Tumbling exercises and an exciting obstacle course.
Star is Born
Our Star is born program, ages 2.5-4 years, introduces your child to the most popular forms of dance: ballet, tap, and jazz. Typically, children within those age ranges have a shorter attention span so we switch the form of dance every 20 min. to keep their interest. Additionally, we feel that constant encouragement and praise cultivates a love and enjoyment of dance. We bring that attitude to each one of our classes. It's very important to us at Studio L that your child learn proper technique and terminology, but above all we want them to have fun.

John Allen Muhammad executed for sniper attacks
Published: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 9:21 p.m.

JARRATT, Va. Virginia's governor refused to spare the life of John Allen Muhammad and cleared the way for his execution Tuesday night for the 2002 sniper attacks that left 10 dead and spread such fear that people were reluctant to go shopping, cut grass or pump gas.
The three-week killing spree in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., was carried out with a teenage accomplice who is serving life in prison without parole. Muhammad, 48, was to die by injection after he exhausted his court appeals and Gov. Tim Kaine denied clemency.
Muhammad's attorneys had asked Kaine to commute his sentence to life in prison because they said he was severely mentally ill.
"I think crimes that are this horrible, you just can't understand them, you can't explain them," said Kaine, a Democrat known for carefully considering death penalty cases. "They completely dwarf your ability to look into the life of a person who would do something like this and understand why."
Sonia Hollingsworth-Wills, the mother of Conrad Johnson, the last man slain in the attacks, sat in the back seat of a car outside the Greensville Correction Center, where the execution was set to happen.
"It was the most horrifying day of my life," she said. "I'll never get complete closure but at least I can put this behind me."
Muhammad was sentenced to death for killing Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station in northern Virginia. He and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, also were suspected of fatal shootings in Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana and Washington state.
Prosecutors chose to put Muhammad and Malvo on trial in Virginia first because of the state's willingness to execute killers. He and Malvo were also convicted of six other murders in Maryland and sentenced to six life terms.
The death penalty was ruled out for Malvo, who was 17 during the killings, because the U.S. Supreme Court barred the execution of juveniles.
Muhammad met with family members in the hours before his execution but did not have a spiritual adviser, Virginia Department of Corrections spokesman Larry Traylor said. One of Muhammad's attorneys, J. Wyndal Gordon, described the convicted killer as fearless and insisted he was innocent.
"He is absolutely unafraid and he will die with dignity dignity to the point of defiance," Gordon said.
The motive for the shootings remains murky. Malvo said Muhammad wanted to use the plot to extort $10 million from the government to set up a camp in Canada where homeless children would be trained as terrorists. But Muhammad's ex-wife has said she believes the attacks were a smoke screen for his plan to kill her and regain custody of their three children.
Muhammad has never testified or explained why he directed the attack on victims who were gunned down doing everyday chores. People stayed indoors, and those who had to go outside weaved as they walked or bobbed their heads to make themselves less of a target.
The terror ended Oct. 24, 2002, when police captured Muhammad and Malvo as they slept at a Maryland rest stop in a car they had outfitted so a shooter could hide in the trunk and fire through a hole in the body of the vehicle.
Muhammad had been in and out of the military since he graduated from high school in Louisiana and entered the National Guard. A convert to Islam, John Allen Williams would later change his name to Muhammad.
He joined the Army in 1985 and trained in Washington state as a combat engineer. He did not take special sniper training but earned an expert rating in the M-16 rifle the military cousin of the .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle used in the sniper shootings.
However, his life was full of failure. He was twice divorced, and after serving in the first Iraq war, he could never find financial stability.
He opened a karate school but it didn't last; neither did his car repair shop. The man who looked for self-discipline in exercise and Islam found himself living in a homeless shelter in 2001 and a few months later was accused of shoplifting food.
Families of those killed were ready for execution day.
Cheryll Witz planned to watch. Malvo confessed that, at Muhammad's direction, he shot her father, Jerry Taylor, on a Tucson, Ariz., golf course in March 2002.
"He basically watched my dad breathe his last breath," Witz said. "Why shouldn't I watch his last breath?"
A small group of death penalty opponents gathered on a grassy area near the prison and had a sign reading, "We remember the victims, but not with more killing."
Beth Panilaitis, executive director of Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, said those who planned to protest understand the fear that gripped the community, and the nation, during the attacks.
"The greater metro area and the citizens of Virginia have been safe from this crime for seven years," Panilaitis said. "Incarceration has worked and life without the possibility of parole has and will continue to keep the people of Virginia safe."
Kaine, Virginia's first Roman Catholic governor, has openly expressed his faith-based opposition to capital punishment, but promised as a candidate in 2005 that he would carry out Virginia's death penalty law despite his beliefs.

Guernsey Park is bridging the gap
Today might well end up being one of the most important days in Oklahoma City's climb to the culinary mountaintop as Guernsey Park officially opens its doors in fast-surging Uptown.
Guernsey Park, 2418 N Guernsey Ave., won't be real easy to find but it'll be worth the extra frustration of figuring out that it's behind Cuppies & Joe on NW 23 St. Yes, there is retail space in that little cluster behind the aforementioned Cuppies and Bubba's Barbecue.
The reason this is such an important opening is because it will be the first attempt by a local chef to bridge the outstanding cuisine in our local Asian District to the mainstream diner. As fantastic as the pho, vermicelli bowls, and banh mi are in Oklahoma City, it'll take another half generation to get over its fear of the unknown and become a staple in the weekly diet of all Oklahomans.
After all, it took Italian food a good 40 years to find widespread acceptance in this country, and authentic Mexican food is still behind Tex-Mex in line for the hearts of diners north of the border.
Chef Vuong Nguyen, born and raised in the Asian District, is the chef at Guernsey Park, which is a multilevel space with huge windows, kitschy fixtures, wood floors and wall art on the basement-level sushi bar. It also has a patio with plenty of growth potential.
Vuong's menu is exactly what I hoped for: plenty of authentic Asian influence but interpreted through the chef's deft hands, which are guided by classic French techniques learned at The Coach House Apprenticeship Program.
Guernsey just finished a two-week soft opening in which chef Nguyen trotted out portions of his menu. Wednesday, after two days to prepare, the full menu will be available. What I've tried so far has been delicious and well appointed. I will have more complete coverage this summer once the restaurant hits its stride.
For now, check them out and be sure to give honest, polite feedback. Vuong needs your input as he builds this exciting new concept.
Lovera's Throwing a Party
If you happen to be out at Lake Eufaula or Hugo Lake during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, you'll no doubt be thinking about tripping into Krebs/McAlester for some Italian food and lamb fries. From noon to dark on May 25, Lovera's Italian Market is having a shindig to celebrate the opening of its new cheese-drying room, which will allow cheesemonger Shawn Duffy more space to hang and age his creations. There will be a ribbon cutting at 3 p.m. and a pairings course about 4:30 p.m.
The party will include live music, Lovera's Italian sausage sandwiches, Hickory Smoked Caciocavera Cheese and Choc Beer on tap. If for no other reason, it's a good opportunity to give that sunburn a breather and get some fantastic cheese and sausage in the meantime. For more information, go online to loverasmarket.com
Pie on the Plaza
Pie Junkie opened a retail shop at 1711 NW 16 St. in the Plaza District on Friday. Cooking together for more than three years, Pie Junkie owners Darcy Schein and Leslie Coale-Mossman opened the store after establishing a strong wholesale presence in several of Oklahoma City's restaurants, including S&B Burger Joint, Pizza 23 and Coffee Slingers.
Pie Junkie specializes in Macadamia Key Lime, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Turtle Pie, Coconut Cream, Almond Joy, Kentucky Derby Pie, S'more, Tart Cherry, Apple Crumble, and BlackBerry Whiskey Buttermilk (aka Bird Dog Pie).
Store hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. The shop will be closed on Sundays and Mondays, but open late for special events in the Plaza District like Live on the Plaza.
Can pie happy hour be far behind? Let's hope not.

Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon: Course changes to benefit full marathon runners
Jake Buhler of Edmond won last year's Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon. He ran the last six miles of the race without taking a drink of water.
Not because he wasn't thirsty. It was just too difficult to reach the water stop because of the crowd of people running and walking in the half-marathon who were blocking his path.
"The last five or six miles it was just a mass of people," said Buhler, a dental student at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. "It was pretty hard to get over and get some water, so I just went without."
By the end of the race, Buhler felt dehydrated. That's just one of the reasons race organizers have made course changes this year to separate those running the full marathon from the rest of the field.
The most notable change is that the running lanes for the full marathon runners and the half marathon groups will be divided by cones for the last 5½ miles of the race, from 50th Street and Classen to the finish line.
"That is going to be good," said Tim Thompson, owner of the OK Runner retail store in Edmond.
Thompson said it's been difficult for runners in the full marathon over the last few miles of the race when they must rejoin the thousands of other runners and walkers on the course.
"You have to weave in and weave back out through a lot of half-marathoners to get to a water stop," Thompson said. "You are wasting a lot of energy. It's hard mentally."
Thompson, who was the finish line announcer for six years, also said the split at Classen will make it less confusing for officials to identify the winners.
"Sometimes (runners) went down the wrong side and as the finish line announcer you miss who finished first and who finished second and who finished third," Thompson said.
In past years, the wrong person even has been initially identified as the winner.
"Before it was everybody and their brother coming through there," said Jon Hulsey, course director. "Now the halves will be on the left side of the roadway and the fulls on the right side. We will be able to spot the winners real easy."
There are other changes along the course designed to lessen the congestion such as adding more running lanes, moving some relay exchanges and placing water stops on both sides of Classen.
"There have been bottlenecks in the past on different areas of the course," Hulsey said. "We are trying to eliminate those bottlenecks."
Hulsey knows firsthand the issues on the course. He ran the marathon for eight years before becoming the course director last year.
The course changes were necessary because the number of participants in the event is getting so large, he said.
Had the cones been in place on the course in 2010, Thompson said there might have been a different winner in the women's marathon.
Jenny Graef of Norman led for most of the race but was caught at the tape by former University of Oklahoma track All-American Catherine Lisle and lost by one-hundredth of a second.
Graef was caught in the traffic and had to waste a lot of energy navigating the crowd down the stretch, Thompson said. She also didn't know Lisle was so close behind her, he said.
"Kat kind of got lost in all the runners," Thompson said. "Jenny had no idea she was behind her because of all the runners blocking her view."

Wow, so eloquent. Thanks for the helpful insight.
yeah, they're pretty sweet. i feel like my feet stick to my pedals now, i just hope i don't ever slip on them. i usually have jeans on...that should help a little. maybe i can wear my soccer shin gauds.
they are concave. the pins form approximately a 3.5" X 3.5" square for more than 12sq. in.
you are supposed to be able to adjust free rotation a bit by the amount of grease you inject into the "pin" ports. haven't tried that yet. they were a huge improvement over my last pedals...but i guess they're probably not much better than any of the other modern ones out there. my old ones were probably pushing 13yrs in design/size. so you can all imagine how much i liked these!
from syncros site:
• Intended Use: Hardcore Freeride and DH - Indestructible
• Investment cast stainless steel webbed pedal body
• Axle support:
- 12mm needle bearing
- 2 cartridge bearings
- 20mm high load capacity DU bearing
• Grease ports
• Curved foot bed
• Replaceable cleat-style traction pins in two sizes
• Lifetime warranty
• Fully re-buildable and owner serviceable
• Material: Stainless Steel
Syncros Mental Pedals™ are the best Freeride and DH pedals money can buy. Period.
Pedal bodies
The Syncros Mental Pedals are available in four configurations: investment cast Stainless Steel, investment cast CroMoly, Magnesium, and 6066 Alloy. The steel bodies have a lifetime warranty and are intended for hardcore, do anything applications. The lighter magnesium and alloy versions are competition oriented. All versions feature an ergonomically curved foot bed that maximizes pedal-foot contact.
Every Mental Pedal axle is made from SNCM CroMoly material. This is the hardest axle material available.
The axle is supported by the most advanced pedal axle bearing system on the market. The main load is handled by a 12mm needle bearing. This is supplemented by a 20mm split bearing and 2 additional cartridge bearings.
Replacement Pins
The replacement traction pins are the most aggressive available anywhere. Leg armor is required equipment with these pins. Available in two lengths the pins are soccer cleat style and are replaced using a 6mm wrench (the same as your disc brakes). Don't slip a pedal without armor, these things will take meat. No joke.
Grease ports
On the Stainless and CroMo versions the pins located along the axle also function as grease ports. Remove the pins, recharge the axle with grease and you're good to go. Add more grease and you can control the amount of pedal rotation for no footers and stunts. The same can be accomplished on the mag and alloy versions by removing the end caps.
The complete pedal can be re-built. All bearings and small parts are available. Contact your local dealer for a list of available service kits
This pedal is designed for use with full leg protection and is intended for hardcore users only. DO NOT take this warning lightly.
Aw, I thought maybe they were making clipless now. They do look awesome, tho!
I like pie!

Last edited by mrdoright0405; 06-10-04 at 03:57 PM. Reason: How many miles per..............
I try to get in lunch rides 3 times a week (more is impractical with work). If I've been good, I can get out for a long ride on the weekends.
I feel pretty happy as long as I am getting rides in. If I do less than 150/month I feel like I should be doing more. In the summer that is more like 200 since there is more sun.
Form now until cold weather sets in again, my goal is 160-200 per week.
everyother day: 30ishOriginally Posted by mrdoright0405
week: 100-120
year: i'll tell you in about 5 more months. that's our 1 yr. anniversary (my bike and me )
20-50 a day
200-350 a week
But I'm on goal for about 6700 miles for the year (6/24/03-6/24/04) Not too bad for my first year of riding, but I'd like to hit 9-10k this year.
I try to ride about 5 to 6 hrs per week, sometimes on the road bike some on the mountain bike so mileage varies. Love having the option of two bikes and on this amount my legs and lungs are starting to come around.
80 - 100 miles per week.
150 a week until I force an at-home vacation upon myself. I will do 150 a weekend when my daughter is a year old(seven months from now. In the meantme, its 150 trips to the garbage can...diaper-o-rama.)
10miles a day m-f. Thats 50 miles. THen on Saturday I go out and ride about 25. And on sunday I'll go and just ride until im exhausted, usually about 40miles.
so, about 115 miles a week.
20 miles a day for the work commute. Another 10-20 miles in the evening. Maybe a 40 or 50 miler on Saturday or Sunday, with a 5-10 mile recovery ride on the other.
So somewhere between 200-250 miles. Maybe 4000-5000 for the 6-7 months of riding season.
40 miles a day,
200 - 240 a week
Don't know where I am going to end the year at. I had over 6000 last year.
Sunrise saturday,
I was biking the backroads,
lost in the moment.
220 - 265 per week.
started in april, 500km; may, 600km; this month, aiming for 800km. i wanna do 1000km a month by july, and then consistently do that..
100 a week, all during the weekend..
typically 60 Saturday and 40 Sunday
20 + every morning on Mountain bike and country roads. Then I shower, shave and go to work.
Somewhere around a 150 mi./week. Vacation weeks 3-400.
From memory I'm closing on on my 10,000th km for the year thus far. I'm quite happy with that.
"I am never going to flirt with idleness again" - Roy Keane
"We invite everyone to question the entire culture we take for granted." - Manic Street Preachers.
My blog.
My bike tours. Japan tour page under construction.
100 a week, spread out over 3-4 days. I'm about 1050 total YTD. Goal for year is 2004, but will probably get in 3K (miles).
**Fate is a fickle thing, and in the end the true measure of a person is not fate itself, but how they master it**
So far this year (per my CycliStats program ):
For all bikes: 62 rides, 1,639.8 miles, 101:38:48 time, 16.132 mph avg, 76,135 calories burned (=21.8 lbs of fat), 81,362 feet climbed.
Monthly average: 307.92 miles
Weekly average: 70.86 miles
Daily average: 10.12 miles
And, yes, I love numbers and I'm OK with that! :-)
19 miles a day five days a week. sometimes a few miles on the weekends.
Normally 100 - 125 miles commuting a week, rides at weekend. Just back from a 400 mile week long tour in Belgium, Northern France and at 3200 miles for the year so far.
On that basis hope to do 6 - 7000 miles this year (only did about 5000 last year)

2005 Dahon Speed 6 (folder)
2008 Viking Saratoga tandem
2008 Micmo Sirocco Hybrid (aluminium!)
2012 BTwin Rockrider 8.1
150-200 a week...pretty good considering the crappy weather we've been having.
90-100 a week,5 days
Touch every 3rd person and you'll find an idiot.
In good weather I've been doing 100-130 miles a week. Had a couple weeks at 170-200 miles.
When the really cold weather hits (Late December into February) I'll cut way back or stop all together. I tend to get sinus infections that time of year.
12-14 hours per week on average in season. I try to get in at least 1 long ride per week of 4+ hours while the others are mostly between 2-3 hours. Lately it's been tough to get motivated as it's done nothing but rain for the last month. 3 hours in the rain isn't too bad once in a while but three times a week is getting old.
During the winter months I try to get 8-9 hours per week of combined trainer and outdoor riding in.
I stopped tracking miles a couple of years back but would guess I probably have somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-4k for the year and will end up with around 8-9k.

Nike's Concept Jet For Pro Athletes Is A Luxury Lounge At 40,000 Feet
Pro athletes lead a very luxurious life, with trainers ensuring they're always in top physical shape. But they still travel in cramped aeroplanes that weren't designed for seven-footers. Teague design firm and Nike have come up with a solution: a super-luxurious concept jet that caters to a team's every need.
The Vyper Hands-On: This Vibrating Foam Roller Is Freaking Incredible
It's no secret that foam rollers have been a key part of physical therapy for years. Athletes use them not only to heal from injury, but also to increase flexibility before training and to speed recovery after strenuous exercise. The Vyper is the first foam roller to add vibration to the equation though, and holy crap it's amazing.
Colour-Changing Suit Shows Injuries That Paralysed Athletes Can't Feel
Paraplegic athletes push their bodies to the absolute limit — and sometimes beyond. When an athlete injures a body part he or she can't feel, that can lead to some very dangerous situations. Now, a design team at Imperial College London has an ingenious solution: an athletic suit that uses off-the-shelf pressure sensing film to show where serious impacts have occurred.
How Olympic Athlete's Bodies Have Changed Over The Years
When you watch footage of the Olympics from back in the 1920s, it's hard to imagine the athletes involved did any training at all. Their physiques are by and large what we would consider average, not the sculpted and toned competitors we know today. But that's because back then the image of the ideal athlete was based on classical human proportions — and average was considered ideal.
Can A Pair Of Socks Really Make A Difference In Athletic Performance?
Gift Guide: Lean, Mean Gifts For The Fitness Zealot
Got someone in your life who's addicted to exercise? Someone who proselytizes the active lifestyle? There are so many fitness-related items out there it's hard to separate the muscular wheat from the sweaty chaff. But we've selected a few of our favourite items you could get your fit friend, if you can catch them.
This Extreme Athlete Powered Rube Goldberg Machine Is Just Incredible
Yeah, it's absolutely an ad for Red Bull but so what. This extreme athlete-powered Rube Goldberg 'machine' is even better than the free running machine they pulled off a month ago. Watch the entire thing and you won't believe how they use world famous athletes like Lolo Jones and Ryan Scheckler to pull off one stunning act after another.
New Body-Cooling Glove Might Work 'Better Than Steroids' For Athletes
One reason professional athletes use steroids illegally is to help speed up recovery time. But one of the goals of helping the body to recover is lowering core temperature, and Stanford believes that the heat-extracting glove they're developing is better than steroids at lowering core temperature and speeding up recovery.
How Is It Possible That Olympic Athletes Keep Breaking World Records?
The Olympics are over. Athletes have been crowned. GIFs have been made. And world records have been broken. In four years, we'll do the same thing all over again. And world records will continue to be broken. How is that possible? How do Olympic athletes keep getting better and keep breaking records? Will it ever stop? Can humans ever max out?
What Are Steroids?
You might have a friend who has to take them for asthma. You might know someone else who denies taking them but has gotten crazy ripped really fast and angers easily. Famous athletes are denying or being caught with them in their blood stream seemingly every day — just last night, MLB slugger Ryan Braun successfully appealed a positive test.

Are you a homeowner who got a SmartMeter from Southern California Edison, feel as if you were strong armed into it, and now want to a say in the SCE's proposed "Opt-Out" program?
If so, you may want to mark Dec. 17 on your holiday calendar.
The California Public Utilities Commission is taking public comments from electric utility customers beginning 6 p.m. Dec. 17 in the Carmel Room Auditorium of the Junipero Serra State Office Building, 320 W. 4th St., Los Angeles.
The comments will address the Phase 2 issues, like whether:
- More than one opt-out option should be extended to customers who do not want to have a wireless SmartMeter.
- All costs associated should be paid only by those electing the option, or should be allocated to all ratepayers or shareholders.
- An exit fee should be imposed on customers who opt-out, and decide at a later date to install a SmartMeter.
- Local governments and communities can opt-out of the SmartMeter program.
Testimony will also be taken on the proposed fee system. Proposed opt-out fees range from $78 to $98 for the initial fee; and $19 to $24 on a monthly basis.
The SCE, which has estimated that the opt-out program will require $21 million in revenue from 2012 to 2014, has asked the California Public Utilities Commission for the nod to recover 100 percent of those costs from residential customers who opt-out.
A wireless SmartMeter is a digital electric or gas meter that transmits customer usage data through radio transmission. Customers who opt-out revert back to the analog-meter system.
To learn more, you can read the "SCE Smart Meter Opt-Out Cost Estimates & Cost Recovery Proposal" on the SCE website; search A.11-03-014.
You can also file written comments to the Public Utility Commission at firstname.lastname@example.com under the file number, A.11-03-014.
