Wankmeister cycling clinic #19: Ride stronger now!
August 11, 2013 § 25 Comments
Dear Wankmeister:
I have noticed that on big group rides like the Donut, I'm not nearly as fast as most of the others, even though my coach tells me I'm awesome, especially just after the monthly check clears. Even Prez beats me on the climbs. How can I go faster?
Bimsy Bohunk
Dear Bimsy:
Please push down harder on the pedals.
Dear Wankmeister:
I was on the Donut Ride this morning and some dude came up to me who wasn't, frankly, very nice. He said, "Yo, dude with the Arizona State Champion jersey. Did you win that or buy it at a fucking garage sale?" I was pretty insulted. I told him I'd won it this year. Then, even ruder, he said, "What did you championize, bro?" Championize? He was making fun of me. So I told him I was the Cat 5 state crit champ. That shut him up. So, two questions for you. 1) Who was that asshole? and 2) What's a guy gotta do around here to get a little respect? They aren't exactly handing these jerseys out on street corners, y'know?
Petey Puddinhead
Dear Petey:
1) That asshole was me. 2) At a minimum you'll need to not get dropped by the women on the false flats.
Bearer of bad newsily,
Dear Wankmeister:
I sure do hate the new Donut Ride route. It sux big greasy donkey hooters. It's too much climbing and it was already too much climbing. You might as well call it the "Rudy and Stathis Ride." Total bullshit. At a minimum we should have a no drop "B" ride that takes others' abilities into account, where we can regroup every twenty minutes or so, etc.
Patsy Poopsie
Dear Patsy:
There is a place were "B" rides are very fashionable, and where the weak, the sick, the elderly, the infirm, and the lame can ride at a friendly pace while discussing frame angles and wattage. It's called "San Diego."
Dear Wankmeister:
I read all your stuff and do everything you say. I went on your kimchi diet and lost 75 pounds, getting me down to about 132 (I'm 6'4″). After a while I got really sick, all my skin fell off, I lost my job from the absences and the giant scabs, then my girlfriend of ten years left me because of those kimchi farts. Now I see that your "new thing" is donuts and beer. I'm really eager to take this plunge, but once bitten, shame on you, twice bitten, you shouldn't be petting pit bulls, y'know? So what's the straight skinny? Donuts and beer, is it legit?
PS: I also tried that nose breathing thing you were raving about and now I get bad nosebleeds all the time and that Prez dude still drops me on all the climbs.
Freddy Fapper
Dear Freddy:
Donuts and beer are the bomb, but they only work when you've done a 6-month kimchi purge, which you have. So you're good to go. You should augment the donuts and beer with butter or with foods that are deep fried, like bubblegum or, best of all, deep fried butter. They're working on a new recipe for deep fried frying oil, so when they get the right mix of mercury and cadmium to stabilize the frying oil to allow it to be fried, you can add that to your power mix. Trust me on this.
Dear Wankmeister:
We read your blog from time to time out here in southern Illinois, and everyone pretty much agrees you're a douchebag farty-fuck. Just wanted you to know that.
Mailliw Enots
Dear Mailliw:
I understand that of the two actual bike racers you have in that part of your fine state, one of them spends all his free time in California, and the other has recently retired due to chronic tenderness of the loins.
Dear Wankmeister:
I was so friggin' stoked to finally get to do the Donut Ride this morning and ride with that Prez dude! He is the bomb! And he is stylish and cuts a pretty swashbuckling figure! Then better yet (as if it could get any better!!) he talked to me!!!!!!!!!! I was asking him training questions and he totally gave me the scoop!!! I was like, "What's with the 54 x 11 all the time?" Know what he said? "Power training!" Friggin' rad!! Everyone sure was powering by him!!! And I was like, "What about nutrition?" and he was like "Muscle Milk plus Muscle OJ plus Muscle Water plus Sweaty Excrescence of Skunk Testicle, it's the bomb!" Then I was like, "Fashion tips?" and he was like "White and black are your base colors; use purple and pink and gangrene yellow for the accents. Match your kits with custom socks and gloves that also go with your eyeliner." Eyeliner! How rad is that???
Mabel Lene
Dear Mabel:
So glad you hooked up with The Man! He's been in therapy for the last year since his forced upgrade, but has finally come out of his shell and is gearing up for 2014. You might want to avoid following his wheel too closely, though, or mentioning the words "Charon" or "Smith." He gets pretty agitated.
Dear Wankmeister:
Down and dirty: Is Froome really on the juice?
Mumsy Muckracker
Dear Mumsy:
Does the Pope like an all-boys choir?
Dear Wankmeister:
I'm perfectly happy with my nickname. I love it, in fact, and really appreciate all the time and effort you took to bestow it on me. My fiancee loves it, my co-workers love it (they Googled me last week), and all my teammates think it's super. I love it so much I'd never think of asking for a new one, 'cause I've heard that only results in getting a really BAD nickname, unlike the cool one I really love and want to keep. Anyway (good riding on the Donut and other rides, btw, you're killing it, you're a beast and a monster [PS: props on the TV announcing gig, you ROCKED it], I know you're going to kill it at nationals), so, I just wanted you know how much I love the blog and my nickname. Awesome stuff, good times! (Fist bump, bro!!). My fiancee's mom is coming into town for the wedding here in a few weeks, and she was Googling me too, and she saw my nickname and was like WTF? I told her how cool it is and that it really means you respect the hell out of me but she's from an Asian culture and she just didn't "get" it, you know? There's no way I'd ever give up my nickname, not even for her. Still, she got to complaining to my fiancee (who LOVES the nicky, as I said), and it's become something of an "issue" here right before we get married. So, this is a long way of saying that — and this is NOT for me — could you get me a nickname that uses the word "cobra" or "stingray" or "lethal" and we'll just use it until the MIL goes home, and we're through with the wedding and things have settled in? You rock, buddy!
Dear Sausage:
Done, my friend. Henceforth you are "Cobra Penis." See you on the road, and give my best to your mother in-law.
Wankmeister cycling clinic #16: Race strategy
December 6, 2012 § 10 Comments
Dear Wankmeister:
I was force-upgraded to Cat 2 just as I was on the cusp of the greatest victory and accomplishment and achievement of my life, yes, of course I'm talking about the Cat 3 SoCal Cup victory. No one was even in my zip code and they took it away from me just like that, depriving me of so much, taking away so much from my family, my wife, my children, and of course my legacy.
But I'm not bitter. Not at all. Not even a little.
Instead, I'm taking a negative and making it a positive. I'm taking lemons and making lemonade (you need oranges for that, right?). When one door closes I will kick another one in with my head and just hope it's not the door to the ICU.
So I've set my sights on winning big in 2013. Taking home the glory with the big boys in the Masters 35+ field just like I schooled the punks in the Cat 3 and Cat 4 and Cat 5 except for those few times I splatted on my face and busted out all my teeth. The "BIG DUDE" I'll be throwing down with is a dude named Norach Htims (that's not his REAL name, "wink, wink," it's in CODE–hint, tnih). Problem is I need some strategic help because of the following analysis:
1–I'm a sprunter, Norahc's a sprunter, except he wins a lot, which makes him more of a sprinter.
2–I'm a beast in the weight room, Norahc's a beast in the weight room, except he's kind of, like, more of a beast.
3–I'm dedicated to the program 24/6, but Norahc's dedicated 24/7. As a family man I just can't dedicate those 2.5 hours of family time while I'm snoring in church to go out and do something stupid like ride my bike. It's just a hobby. I really feel sorry for people who are as old as me and think they're going to get a pro contract some day. Sad, really.
4–I can't climb, Norahc can't climb. But we can both clumb.
5–My team is filled with deadbeats and wankers so I'm always on my own, but Norahc has a cadre of dudes who can cover breaks, chase attacks, and lead him out in the sprunt. This year they added more horses to the stable, but all my team got was this dude named Pepe who's, like 127 lbs. and barfs every time we go over 23 mph.
6–My team kit this year is done by Joe Yule at StageOne, and Norahc will still be wearing some variation of that lame outfit designed with architectural drawing software.
7–I'm SPY, he's Oakley.
So that's the down and dirty. Help me, Wanky. If this works out I'll make sure you get a cut from the pro contract I'm angling for.
Evad Zerep (That's not my REAL name, "wink, wink," it's in CODE too–EDOC, get it?)
Dear Evad:
I've tried really hard to figure out the real names in this soap opera, but it's beyond my feeble powers, so I'll just call you "Frankendave," okay?
After looking at the tip sheet, it's clear that for looks and visual acuity, you have this Norahc dude beaten before the race even starts. Oakley is for wankers, straight up, and without a custom StageOne kit, he'll always be second or third-rate when the race finishes and people start critiquing the podium-wear.
Problem is, as long you're racing against him, you're never gonna get to the podium unless you change things up. That's where Wanky can help. So take out the ol' pen and pencil and copy this shit down, because Wanky's gonna give you some victory tips for 2013. I don't care how good this Norahc dude is, he can be beaten (okay, maybe not by you), but more importantly, he doesn't have the Wankmeister calling the strategy shots, and you do. He's got the swank, but you've got the Wank.
1–After looking at his 2012 race results, Norahc is winning races for one reason and one reason only: He's the first guy over the line. That's it, simple as A-B-C. You can p*wn him every day, every race, by finishing in front of him. So it's pretty easy, actually. Just go a tad faster and then you'll be first, not him. Okay, a shitload faster. Okay, a few time zones faster. Whatever.
2–The best way to beat a sprinter is to get on his wheel and come around him at the end. For all your races next year, you will need to get on Norahc's wheel with one lap to go. Then, just as he takes off, give him a couple of pedal strokes to accelerate, stay in his draft, then YOU push the pedals even harder and rocket by him. Then you'll be the winner and he'll be the first loser.
3–Since no one's going to let Norahc ride in a break with them, your next best game plan is to get in the winning break. When you see the winning break go, just ride up to them and hop on. It may seem hard riding by yourself away from 150 people to cross a windswept, rolling 45-second gap, but that's just in your head. Once you're in the break just sit there and rest. Don't do a thing. Then all the other guys like Paolinetti and Tintsman and MJ and DiMarchi, who will have been working like Trojans the whole race and who will have let you sit back there steeping tea and tightening the ratchets on your shoes, will all be TUCKERED OUT. You just hit the gas and dust 'em in the sprint. Norahc will be so far back he'll finish with the next age category.
4–If plans 1-3 fail? Downgrade. Or better yet, register as a new racer under the name Evad Zerep. No one will know! (Wink, kniw!)
Hey, Wankmeister Dude:
I'm a Cat 2 sprinter champion all-star ladies' man very humble person who races with the Masters 35+. I'm not afraid of anyone especially this new guy I'm gonna tell you about who just upgraded. I don't want to use any names because it's a small community and people start talking and Facebooking and pretty soon even though you just said, "She's a nice girl," people have made it out like you knocked up the chick and are marrying her sister at a shotgun wedding. So I'm just gonna call this dude "Evad Zerep," kind of like my own code. Name's not important anyway because I sure ain't scared of this dude.
Nah, he's nothin', you can take my word for it. When he finally lines up against me next year I'm going to dismantle him I got no problems with this dude. He's a friend but on the bike I'm not scared of him at all. You can take that to the bank. Just not Countrywide.
But, even though I ain't scared of this dude, somebody like YOU would be because actually for a wanker dude he's pretty quick. He's not near as quick as me, got it? But he's a thousand times quicker than YOU'LL ever be. No offense, but I've seen those pictures of you in the weight room and I've seen you race and dude, you suck. No offense.
So anyway, let's say someone like you is really worried about this Zerep dude, right? You're, like, staying up at night, and checking out his FB, and getting intel on him and watching everything he does because YOU'RE afraid, and you should be.
So now, here's my question: How would a scared slow dude like YOU (not a super fast un-scared dude like me) race against this Zerep dude to beat his ass? That's my question.
I ain't scared of no one for nothing,
Htims Norahc
Dear Htims:
I'm actually not scared of this Zerep dude at all, except on Tuesdays and Thursdays when he shows up on the NPR, because I don't have to race against him. You, on the other hand, should be terrified. You'll have your hands full in 2013 with this Zerep character. Don't ever underestimate a cross-dressing Puerto Rican who can wear green and yellow and not get immediately thrown in jail. Dude's got skills.
You can beat him, though, because you've got the Wankmeister on your side. He's got the swank, but you've got the Wank. Let me walk you through it.
1–Dude's most dangerous move is the 200m head-throw. This is where you're going full gas, you think you've got him at the line, when just at the last second he hurls himself off his bike and passes you, face-first, by a nose. It's bloody and nasty and there's tooth enamel everywhere afterwards, but a vee is a vee is a vee. To counter the head-throw all you need to do is wear one of those big Groucho Marx fake glasses-and-big-nose disguises. Zerep's nose is too short to beat one of those, even with a solid face toss.
2–Dude's next most dangerous move is the 350m skitterchop. Just as you're coming through the last turn, he slides his back wheel and cuts the turn and sends the top-placed four or five riders over the curb and onto the gurney. Dude's arms are raised for the last 200m, the only person even close is the paramedic. Your best counter when he starts to slide, wobble, and chop, is to scream out "Free Rapha socks right THERE!" He'll twist his neck, let off on the gas, rear tire won't skitter, and you'll come through the turn and leave him in the dust. By the way, what the hell are you doing behind him?
3–Zerep Coffee Zing: Watch out for this one because it happens BEFORE the race starts. You're standing under your team tent, getting your nuts waxed by some hot exercise physiologist, excuse me, I mean warming up on the trainer, and you're also sipping on your favorite soy latte double froo-froo mocha caramel quaddro espresso, and that cup is hot. Fiery hot. Zerep comes up behind you and sticks his tongue in your ear. Poof! You spill the coffee on the head of the masseuse, scald her scalp, and she bites down on your, uh, pedal. OWWWW! Blood loss in the big tent! You lose half a pint while it takes four strong men to wrap a giant tarp around the massive bleeding and wounded, uh, pedal. That half a pint is the margin of victory, Htmis. So: Take care of all your "warm-up" the night before, and save race day for racing.
Well, that's all the golden advice for today. Happy racing, and Doog Kcul!
Wankmeister cycling clinic #15: Secret training
December 5, 2012 § 11 Comments
Dear Wankmeister:
Everybody is getting fitter and faster, but when I ask them what they're doing, they say, "Nothing," or "Just chilling with base miles," or "Taking time off the bike." How can that be? When I take time off the bike I eat Cheetos by the kilo and gain, like, ten pounds a day. What's the deal here? Are they telling the truth?
E. A. Poe
Dear Edgar:
Are they cyclists? Are they talking about their training? Then they're LYING. This is the time of year when everyone has a double secret probation training plan formulated by their Olympic coach. It includes weight loss, weight training, intervals, and long miles at medium intensity. Plus a new bike, a new gym membership, new team kits, and the latest "secret weapon," which is protein replenishment during the ride.
Don't worry, though. The same guys will still win all the same races. And you, Edgar, will still suck. So enjoy the Cheetos.
Dear Wankmeister:
Prez says that Rapha is the Prada of cycling. What is Prada?
R. Lauren
Dear R.:
Prada is Italian for "Go to the front and take a fucking pull, you wanker!" Isn't Italian concise? Rapha-wearers like the Goose-Man NEVER go to the front and NEVER take a pull because they're already wearing Rapha, which makes it just as if they "took a pull." Cool, huh?
Dear Wankmeister:
How exactly is weight training going to make me faster? I don't fancy blowing money on a gym membership. Plus, I got a weak back.
Doubting Danny
Dear Danny:
Weight training has been proven time and time again to make people better cyclists. After a month in the gym you will hate the oily 'roid dealers, the urine soaked smell of all the benches, the gooey smears of other people's sweat on the mats, and the narcissistic mirror-preening so much that you'll do anything to avoid the weights, including ride your bike. So you'll be getting in huge miles by trying to avoid the gym, which will make you faster.
Dear Wankmeister:
I've religiously followed the Wankmeister Hunger Diet during the off-season and have lost forty pounds. But I'm afraid I'm going to cave during the food-and-drink overdose of the holidays. Advice?
Writing on the Walledly,
Douggie Doomsday
Dear Douggie:
Oh my Dog, I can't believe you took any of that diet crap seriously. I was joking. That diet will kill you. Start your holiday binge NOW!
Panicked about the lawsuitedly,
Dear Wankmeister:
I tried 'cross this winter because you said it would help me when crit season started. So far I've broken three ribs, been hospitalized twice, and torched two brand new frames. What do you say now?
Dudley Do-Right
Dear Dudley:
Sounds like you're ready to give up cycling any day now. See? It's working!
Waffling reader can't make up mind about power meter
September 6, 2011 § 4 Comments
Dear Wankmeister:
I've been cycling for three years now. I started with a hand-me-down Nishiki that my brother used in college, and have gradually worked my way up to a new Specialized Venge with Zipp 800's and Shimano Di2. I started doing the Donut Ride about a year ago and although the first part is tough but doable, I have a lot of trouble when we hit the bottom of the Switchbacks. I've also done some USCF road races and tend to come unhitched when the road tilts up. After reading Coggan's "Training and Racing with a Power Meter," I've almost made the decision to up my game and get one, but it's a tough sell on the home front as my wife doesn't really "get" why I need a power meter after buying such an expensive bike. I've tried to explain power to weight ratios to her and stuff like that, but her eyes just glaze over, she starts talking about the kids' orthodontics, and then I don't get any sex for a couple of weeks. Any suggestions on how I can make my case? I'm primed for some serious training this winter and an upgrade to the 4's in 2012.
Tired of Talking to the Hand,
Billy Budd
Dear Billy:
Pardon me while I puke. There, I'm almost better. Dude, you haven't "gradually worked up" if you've gone from a Nishiki to a Venge in three years. That's like getting triple D breast implants before you've even reached puberty. Back in the day you had to ride a shit bike for three years just so you could upgrade to 32-spoke GP4's, you spoiled little showoff snotnosed sonofabitch. Your letter indicates that on the Donut, prior to hitting the Switchbacks you're already in trouble, which should be a Wanker Alert of the first order: the Donut Ride should be a fucking cakewalk until you hit the climb. If you're so much as cracking a sweat before then, your problems have nothing to do with a power meter, and everything to do with power, of which you apparently don't have much. Getting a power meter to increase your power is like getting a longer tape measure to increase your height. And by the way, your wife's not the only one who doesn't "get" it; I don't, either. You're getting shelled at the bottom of the climb on $10,000 worth of bike? You need to study Newton's First Law of Cyclodynamics, which is that idiots can never be created or destroyed, they can only change bikes. And if you feel stupid flailing off the back on the equivalent of a Ferrari, think how stupid you're gonna feel when you introduce your friends to your kids and their teeth are growing down into their chins. IT'S A FUCKING HOBBY, MORON, NO MATTER HOW MANY PARTS AND KITS YOU OWN THAT LOOK JUST LIKE FABIAN'S! Plus, the fact that you can even think about sex is proof that you're not logging the miles, and are logging something else instead.
The Wankmeister
Dear Wankmeister:
I've done some reading on tubulars v. clinchers. Which do you recommend?
Glued to My Inbox,
Sammy Snuffles
Dear Sammy:
A long time ago, when hard men with names ending in a string of unpronounceable consonants plied the cobbles between Compiègne and Roubaix, there were good reasons to use a tire that leaves you covered up to your eyelids in glue, that falls off the rim when it's too hot resulting in catastrophic accidents, that can only be repaired by a master seamstress, that requires you to carry an entire other 2-lb. tire for flats on the road, and that costs ten times more than a replacement clincher inner tube. That time was long before you were born, during a Golden Age of Cycling when it was honorable to be stupid. Now, the only reason to use a tubular is if you've purchased every possible component and whacky invention to increase your speed (think elliptical chain rings, Power Cranks, etc.), yet you still suck. They won't make you any faster, but you'll take out the field when you rip through the state championship crit on the last lap and roll a tire.

Much has been written about the benefits of family travel. It brings families together for serious bonding time, we're told, and strengthens relationships. It adds to the pool of shared memories that we'll reflect upon for the balance of our lives. I've traveled with my family all over the world. Not to put too fine a point on it, but when my older son was 5 years old, we had to add pages to his passport. Most of our travel has been independent, in countries ranging from China, Australia and Oman to Honduras, Hungary and South Africa. I'm always grateful for these opportunities to explore other cultures, landscapes, languages and customs with my family, but I'm also grateful -- profoundly grateful -- for a type of family travel that is, for lack of a more precise word, artificial. It has less to do with culture, language and landscapes than with bringing to life the concepts of travel industry visionaries. My wife, two youngest children (7 and 9 years old) and I were aboard the 48-hour inaugural sailing of Norwegian Cruise Line's Epic last week out of New York. We had a terrific time. We bowled, climbed rock walls, played basketball and went to the Nickelodeon character breakfast together. We participated in Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live. We tried every water slide and spent a lot of time hanging out in the ship's Aqua Park. (See video at bottom of page.) But with the exception of the Nickelodeon events, we had experienced all of these activities previously, on normal weekends in and around New York. What doesn't happen on normal weekends, however, is a chance for my wife and me to simply relax in the sun, drinks in our hands, and muse about the more important things in life. We're usually busy visiting friends or carting the kids to sports activities. Even if we're just home and the kids are entertaining themselves, we've fallen into the habit of trying to make good use of that time, hoping to put a dent in an endless list of projects. But the Epic has now joined the Disney Magic, Beaches in Turks and Caicos, the Iberostar Playa Paraiso on the Riviera Maya, Wild Wadi in Dubai and Club Med in Punta Cana as industry creations that my wife and I felt were safe and structured enough to hand our kids over to their diversions and relax, far from home projects, far from work, far from all the distractions of the familiar. My kids don't read Travel Weekly, so I feel it's safe to share my belief that the unsung benefit of family travel is, ironically, a little time away from one's children. When I know they're content going down water slides or in a "kids camp" of some kind (on the Epic, for children ages 6 to 9, it's called "Recess"), my wife and I can go off duty in ways we simply can't on our home turf. And during those rare times, we raise a toast to the creative entrepreneurs in the travel industry who don't merely bring you from point A to point B on Earth, but who transport you to a world apart.
Watch the video below as Travel Weekly Editor in Chief Arnie Weissmann's 9-year-old son goes for a spin in the mid-level of "The Plunge" water slide on the Norwegian Cruise Line Epic's Aqua Park.

What great music! Forty Thieves is my favorite local band, and my only complaint about their opening act was that it was too short; they have a long play list and we didn't get to hear enough of it. Brian Fitzy was excellent to start the show. I hadn't heard Scythian before, but they were talented, fun, and have a long and varied playlist. It was a great day!

The music was so loud as to render the vocals unintelligible!
Not tremendously Irish in feel.
I did enjoy the spirit...

Digital health products are a big trend at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and a few of the coolest and easiest health products out there are those from iHealth that can report your health status with iOS devices like iPads and iPhones.
Your weight from a Digital Scale ($70) or blood pressure readings from a cuff with a dock that that doubles as a charging station ($100) can be sent wirelessly via Bluetooth to your iDevice, where you can track its history and note trends. The info can be shared on social networks like Twitter and Facebook—if you dare—or perhaps more importantly, shared with your physician. The Digital Scale works with the iHealth Digital Scale app, free at the App Store.
A new iHealth Cloud Service allows users of the companion mobile apps for the iHealth Blood Pressure Dock and iHealth Digital Scale to instantly back-up and store their results in the cloud.
New iHealth products shown at CES include a body fat scale that measures the amount of body fat and a Smart Glucometer for diabetics. After pricking a finger, a test strip fits into a small adapter that is plugged into the iPhone or iPad to record blood sugar levels. No pricing on the body fat scale or Smart Glucometer are available.
"Key to our products are prevention, so people know what's going on before they go to the doctor's, or can share it with their doctor," says iHealth's Sarah Robinson.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
The new smart home system allows you to monitor and control your yard's watering schedule.

A word from Ma Goa
This popular Putney favourite serves authentic Indian cooking, typically served in Indian homes. 'Ma' Kapoor continues to cook and advise her excellent team and can still be found bargaining for the freshest produce in Southall and Tooting. The emphasis here is on simple spicing and fresh seasonal ingredients and they cook little and often to ensure this, so don't be disappointed if they occasionally run out of dishes. The menu crossed many boundaries from Goa to Mumbai with Nepali, Persian and Pakistani influences and more taken from uncles, aunties, grandparents, and friends. This friendly team are happy to suggest dishes to create a well-balanced meal and cater for special dietary requirements.Continued

- Authentic Indian foodRsswDined on 1/11/2014Lovely food, friendly staff. Lamb shank is particularly delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best curry everMcGoDined on 25/10/2014Amazing - hadn't been for about 8yrs and I've no idea why! Will be my new regular haunt when I want something spicy. Went with friends from outside of London and they described it as the best curry they'd ever had. Really reminded me of the curries my Dad used to make when we were younger (his father was from Goa). Service was great - just the right level of attentive. Quite expensive compared to regular curry houses but soooo worth it. Ambience not perfect - something missing - not sure what. Anyway, can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Goan FoodJules6Dined on 15/10/2014Being Goan myself, I would expect at least some of the Goan dishes to taste authentic. I had the sorpotel, chicken xacuti and , Goan fish curry and none were what they should be. Very disappointed.Special Features:

- Indian with a differenceMartiniBDined on 30/8/2014This place is fantastic, it's 10 yrs since my last visit and the food is still amazing, the atmosphere is good, the service is good but my wife got the wrong starter, which they rectified with no fuss and were very apologetic. The starter I ordered was a bit too similar to my main, so it felt like I was eating the same dish, I ordered it, so that's my fault, but an attentive waiter who knows the menu may have given a bit of advice at that point. Still minor grumbles, when I return I will order fish for the main, my wife had the sea bream and it was really, really good. I had the Porco Vindaloo which was bursting with flavor. Bit more pricey than your average Indian, but worth every penny. Highly recommended if you are ever in SW15.Special Features:
- innovative food, well preparedmasoudafarinkiaDined on 21/8/2014the food at Ma Goa is very different to a 'standard' curry house. while I cannot vouch for its authenticity, every item we had was well prepared and flavorful. Ma Goa also has a better than average beverage list and an extensive choice of wines.Special Features:
- True Goa CookingLiveToEatDined on 8/8/2014As per usual the food was delicious and the service excellent, and so much more pleasant to have good, traditional and authentic food rather than the same old "curry" as we Brits call it. Thank you Ma Goa for a wonderful evening.Special Features:
- Best Indian in PutneyEndafDined on 3/8/2014Great restaurant. Simply a cut above all the Bangladeshi places - this is real Indian cooking and the only Goan place I know. Wonderful.Special Features:
- Friends reunionputneyboyDined on 17/7/20147 of us got together to celebrate old times, the wine and good food in superb presentation didn't disappoint, the flavours were sumptuous and all dishes sampled by the group were met with approving nods and grunts as people were enjoying it so much. Several of the guys were serious curry critics and were silenced by the quality and taste. A flavoursome experience which has surpassed the majority of indian restaraunts I have been too. The staff were welcoming and attentive. Will be back soon for sure!Special Features:
- Not your usual IndiandonskiDined on 11/7/2014A long established family run Putney Indian, but specialising in Goan dishes. Unusual and attractive menu. Tasty, well-prepared and nicely presented food. Popular and well regarded by the locals. My only criticism is that it is cramped, the tables are small, and the noise level when full makes normal conversation impossible.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good as usualhebriDined on 5/7/2014Very good food and service. A lot of vegetarian options. Lamb shank was very tender and perfectly roasted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top indian restauranthebriDined on 29/6/2014Every time when we are in London we visit Ma Goa. The food and the service is excellent. We will definitly come back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Goan gourmetMJC1Dined on 27/6/2014Enjoyed good meal at Ma Goa in Putney on a Friday night. Made to feel very welcome straight away. Interesting menu, not a typical Indian restaurant. Inexpensive wine list too. Only slight criticism is that the tables were close together so it felt a little cramped and it was quite noisy, perhaps partly because of the low ceiling. But I would certainly go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodZarathustraDined on 27/6/2014Great flavours, nicely presented. I'd recommend this restaurant to anybody who wants something other than an ordinary Indian meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently deliversOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 27/6/2014Ma Goa is one of our favourite restaurants, providing consistently good, tasty food with a wonderful friendly service.Special Features:
- Nice ambience, spicy, originalGogsesDined on 14/6/2014I'm Punjabi and my wife is Kashmiri so we know our spices. We ventured forth and asked for spicy food with the a peculiar disdain reserved for England's curry house definition of spicy. I ordered a Vindaloo and my wife ordered some food for cows (with hot-sour gravy). Both were spicy enough that the underlying curry taste didn't come through. Full points for authenticity and originality (like stuffed papads) but a reality check on taste needs to come first.Special Features:
- Seafood curry with unusual flavoursMoonzgrubreviewsDined on 30/5/2014The Ma Goa hits the mark again with both the staters and main course. It is the differences to usual Indian cuisine that Goan cuisine that makes the Ma Goa specialSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice mealfinedinerVIPDined on 30/5/2014Have been here loads of times. Staff are always nice - this time the service wasn't quite as good as usual (we kept asking for water which eventually came, we had to push for them to put the air con unit on as we were boiling and had stripped down to our last layer!). Food was tasty as it always is. The lamb main was pretty salty and so we left most of that, but other than that a good night.
- Fabulous dinner in inviting placeFoodluverDined on 30/5/2014We really enjoyed our dinner at Ma Goa--the food is beautifully seasoned and presented. The lamb was so tender and literally falling off the bone. Our waiter was attentive and made wonderful recommendations. And the owner was also attentive and ensured we enjoyed our dinner. We will go back often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious Fresh FoodEmilyDined on 30/5/2014Authentic Indian food. I usually play it safe and go with a Chicken Tikka Musala at most Indian restaurants, as this wasn't on the menu I branched out. We all ordered different mains to share - every single one was something we had not tried before and was absolutely delicious. Everyone was very impressed - we will definitely be coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So good we went back 2 days laterbritericanDined on 29/5/2014We had a fabulous meal here, great tasting food (possibly the best Indian I've had), good choice of wines as well. The mango sorbet was amazing by the way! We enjoyed it so much that as we walked past a couple nights later, on our way to another restaurant, the smell pulled us in for another amazing meal. Seamless service both times, also loved that our waiter recognised us. I have every intention on visiting Ma Goa plenty more times in the futureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- simply deliciouslizzfizzDined on 24/5/2014Delicious food All the dishes we tried were so tasty. Want to go back to try more of the menu choice. ..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding authentic Goan foodVickiDined on 17/5/2014Ma Goa never fails to serve up Goan food with a twist. Perfect escape from the westernised take on Indian food and adds a bit of something special to Indian cuisine. The only fault I could find is that the ambience is perfectly fine but nothing special.Special Features:
- Outstanding!PJinPutneyDined on 17/5/2014Our favorite restaurant in Putney...can't recommend it highly enough. Divine food and lovely hosts. Always a culinary delight to eat there!Special Features:
- A romantic eveningJoJoDined on 16/5/2014We went here fora romantic evening out. The owner and his team were charming attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Perhaps a little quick to serve the food. The place has a nice buzz and avoids the cliched indian restaurant style. The food was excellent value and delicious without exception. All sounds a bit over the top, but it really is a super restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely mealClaveDined on 16/5/2014Came here for dinner and the meal was lovely, cannot fault it at all. Would definitely recommend. Great service too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent family run localNoonooDined on 14/5/2014I've just moved to Putney and am trying out all the local restaurants. My friend and I were the first people in there at 7.15pm on Wednesday, but it filled up by 8pm. Friendly service and excellent food, spinach with paneer and chicken on the bone in tomato based sauce were particularly good. Prices were happily affordable, although it's a shame there aren't midweek offers to compete with the range of deals on elsewhere. The decor is somewhat vapid.
- Very goodsdtgDined on 10/5/2014Had dinner here with my parents who were visiting from the states and we had a great meal. Food and service were fantastic! I highly recommend.Special Features:
- As ever, almost perfectStuieBDined on 9/5/2014I go to Ma Goa reasonably regularly for years, it's by far my favourite restaurant of the Indian genre in the UK. I never fail to be impressed by the originality and creativity of their cooking – my latest treat was a fabulous crab concoction from the daily specials, it was sublime. The wine list is similarly creative, I adore Alentejano (Portuguese) reds, and the choice – Grous – I made on this visit, while not cheap, was absolutely perfect with the rich and spicy crab.

The service was friendly and food promptly delivered cooked to order. The variety between meat, veg or seafood/fish offered on the menu was excellent and their desert menu likewise. I had a 'simple' green curry chicken which was so special in its flavour, good sized chicken breast pieces and lots of delicious sauce. We barely had room for the lovely deserts but managed the kulfi of the day, mango which was one of the best we've ever had- memorable!.

Indietronica, also known as indie electronic, indietronic, indietronics and lap-pop, is a music genre that combines indie rock with elements of electronic music styles such as IDM, electro house and glitch. While it is believed that the genre was born in the late 1990s, examples being The Notwist's esteemed album Shrink (1998), and The Rentals Return of The Rentals (1996), it is the 2002 compilation titled ''Indietronica Vol. 1'' by Sónar Music Festival that solidified and popularized the term.

Did Anyone Watch Obssessed?

It was on A & E Monday night. Al, Tammy, Jodi - Part 1
Al and his daughters, Tammy and Jodi, each suffer from agoraphobia. Al has been virtually homebound for 30 years. Tammy is afraid of leaving her 20-mile safe zone. Jodi can't go over a bridge she needs to cross to get her son medical care. You can watch it online:http://www.aetv.com/obsessed/video/?bcpid=45697868001&bclid=441556914001&bctid=441675245001
It really struck home w/me. I had a driving phobia & bridges were my nemesis. I didn't have a therapist to ride along, but used small steps to desensitize myself. It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. Did anyone watch it? (((hugs))) jan
|Wed, 08-11-2010 - 9:57pm
no jan i did not see it - but what a brave thing you did by conquering your fear. I think of Paula Deen's story about agoraphobia when i need to go out of my comfort zone.
hope all is well today.

Hope you're having a good day too! (((hugs))) jan

I know "exactly" how you feel Jan...
Sometimes it's very hard explaining and making others understand.
People will ask me about ds, what's he worried about?, what's he "Anxious" about?
They just don't "get it"...he says I do "get it", "get him"...
He said at first maybe I didn't but I was willing to listen, and to give him the benefit of the doubt.
It's not like he doesn't want to do things or can't it's about being "Able" in that particular moment...
I have things I struggle with, most recently difficulty sleeping, sleeping in my room and in my bed.
A small victory for someone else but a big one for me, I slept in my bed, in my room last night.
Courage comes from within, we have to do things on on own, it's great to have Support but when it ALL comes down to it, we have to be the Ones who actually make up our minds to follow through.
Anxiety is a funny thing.
I don't mean funny...ha ha... but learning ALL of us have it at one point or another and it's learning how to cope/deal with it.
My son got a shower the other morning, got dressed and volunteered to come with me of his own accord.
It was wonderful!
Most people don't get how success for one person can mean one thing and another for someone else.
It was not too bad on the bus we took, fairly empty or maybe even empty, the bus drivers are great, and fairly quiet where we went, we went out for Lunch...but then it got busy, he started to panic a little but managed pretty good.
Baby Steps...
He has come such a long way, I have never given up hope, given up on him but it's his journey, not mine.
He knows that he isn't the ONLY one who is afraid.
I think he was very happy I was able to sleep in my room in my bed last night.
One of things others don't get is "Anxiety" can strike anyone at any time.
My son was out and about as a young kid, and then he was tested and found to have GAD and then SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) and Agoraphobia...
I can remember him being able to walk to school, go to the store, ride his bike and then they ALL became too overwhelming...he changed overnight it seemed, it wasn't really overnight...
I know that if he puts his mind to it, he can do it, but pushing doesn't work well, it just makes him more anxious, many people are like that.
Some like my son would get up get ready and not be able to leave.
But if you at least try...say just step outside your door or even open it that in and of itself is a victory.
I don't much like driving, not my driving but with someone else, and I know it's because I was in two separate car accidents so I don't fault myself for being scared for feeling the "Panic" set in...I know it will pass and sometimes I don't push myself to get in a car with certain people.
Their driving literally paralyses me.
I like taking the bus.
Freedom and Independence.
My son and I were talking and I said that I was really proud of him, he offered to go with me to the store because he was worried and concerned about me walking he knows how the RA has affected me and he wanted to help me carry whatever I had to get at the store.
He hasn't done that either in a long time.
I believe one day Jan you will be able to cross that bridge again in your own time.
Half the battle is recognizing what's going on...for some medication or therapy or a combination of both but it's Individual...My son says when we have gone out together how small I seem now to him, he has grown quite tall, he said he just wishes people would just leave him ALONE and he probably could handle this so much better but he begins to feel he can't cope with people, for him a crowd could be two people, maybe strangers and he would prefer that they don't stare or try talking to him but it seems we always come across someone usually on the bus like this.
One day I actually asked the person to please leave us alone, my son was really happy, she kept talking away to us and we didn't know her, were trying to be polite but finally I said that we were trying to converse ourselves.
It worked!
He finds it very hard to do that...it's why he got up from our table at the restaurant and went and waited for me, I had to use the washroom, and he explained he wondered when I was coming back , some people sat close and started to talk to him and they had kids sitting in my seat, crawling under the table.
Meanwhile my ds is trying to ignore them.
Wasn't being rude he just feels petrified!
Not really interested in carrying on a conversation with total strangers, he feels anxious and panicky, he just wants to go, sometimes he wishes he never even went there or came out.
He said though in spite of it getting too busy the last time we went out for Lunch he enjoyed it and was feeling okay, was happy, he knew I was happy to have his company.
|Thu, 08-19-2010 - 3:46pm
I didn't know you had driving anxiety too!
I don't understand how you desensitize with driving. It just doesn't seem safe at all. If I'm hyperventilating, I'm getting dizzy & that is what scares me. I can endure the anxiety when if I fall or faint I simply drop to the floor. I've even convinced myself if I did this in public it's better for me b/c then I'll get help. But driving ... nope, then I can kill somebody.
Darn, I've been thinking I'm no longer agoraphobic b/c I leave my house - but I guess I still am seeing I don't drive outside of my safe zone, which is under 10 miles.
I'll go watch the episode. I'm a bit deflated now :(

I had no choice, Bonnie. We're on a river w/several other waterways that converge in the center of town. Many years ago when my fear was off the charts, I drove to a bridge that I needed to cross to get to my doctor's appointment. That was as far as I got. *To the bridge.* I had to find a public phone & call to cancel. I did drag others along w/me for moral support. I was so ashamed, that I never told them they were my moral support. In fact, I downright bribed them to ride along w/the *I'll pay for lunch or I'll do this or that for you* to get them into the car w/me. I cannot tell you the lengths I would go to. I panicked once on the road(isolated) to my sister's house. Of course I HAD to visit my sister! So, I began to drive miles out of my way to get to her home. AVOID THAT ROAD @ ALL COSTS! A couple of times I got *caught* & had to come up w/some wild & wooly tales as to why I was where I was, when I was going somewhere else. As I type this, my *inner motor* has begun. Remembering how awful that time was is anxiety-producing): I drive that road daily & haven't gotten anxious on it for years.
I drive ok now. I do get nervous on bridges, especially when stopped. A couple of years ago, there was an accident @ the end of the bridge. In spite of a traffic pile-up, I *made* ppl back up, so I could turn around & go home. I know perfectly well, that it could happen again & there would be NO WAY to turn around. I get literally sick to my stomach when I get on the New York thruway & the sign says 85 miles to the next exit. In those cases, I count off the miles on my odometer. I tell myself I will drive 6 miles & if it doesn't work out, make an illegal U-turn & pay the fine! Then, push for the next 6 miles. I make a lot of plans in advance for *what if this* or *what if that* happens. My mind never stops covering my butt just in case. LOL I also get anxious on expressways when the traffic is heavy & I feel penned in. OMG! I have actually had thoughts that I should hit the brakes & let whatever happens...happen. I have told myself over & over what I have learned about anxiety & panic. I will NOT die & I will NOT act on the zany thoughts that intrude when I'm panicking. It has gotten better over time. The feelings & thoughts aren't as intense & can be dismissed much quicker.
DO NOT LOSE HOPE! If I can do it, ANYONE CAN! I remember dark days when I was discouraged. I recall crying when my kids wanted to go places & I couldn't take them. I will never know where that fear came from. I didn't have an accident or noone that I knew had one. What I DO know, is that it was a challenge to drag myself out of that hole. I became so sick & tired of being sick & tired. The limitations the fear imposed on me, were actually imposed by myself. I could allow the fear to control me or not. I made the choice to change. I never threw in the towel & said I will stop trying. There were days that I *took off* from trying, then began again. If that should ever happen again & it is a nagging fear, I would go to a hypnotist like Suz our fromer CL did. That seems like a quicker way to get a grip. Maybe I'm getting lazy;)
GL & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Ugggh, I hate this - it is so horrible. I have gotten to a point where I do so much in spite of my anxiety. My H is an awe of me when we're in public, how I'll even talk to strangers. He'll ask if my social anxieties are gone, I tell him no, I just do it anyway. (His social anxieties used to be less than mine - now mine our less than his - far less!)
But when it comes to driving I just don't know how to get over that lump. It's not that I absolutely won't drive, I've done it. I did it once, 15 hour drive, with two dogs in the back, one that yelped & cried the entire 15 hours (15 hours not including rests, but actual drive time). This 15 hour drive was moving from one state to another - one that I had very limited knowledge of, it's was simply just out of my home town and that was good enough.
Then once I moved here my brother lived 3.5 hours away. He wanted me to come visit once a month (he would come here once a month). I would do it, in rain, sleet & fog. But I would stop at every rest stop to pee (gotta love how adrenaline makes you pee). I would stop & call my H just sobbing & crying telling him I could no further. But I had no choice, I was out in the middle of nowhere in the midsts of thick forests.
I hate to say this, part of the reason I wanted to quit taking my DS to occupational therapy was due to the anxiety attacks I would get weekly driving him into town. How horrible is that?
I would love to drive my kids to the beach for the day w/o my H - like during summer break & Canadian holiday (I contract for a Canadian company). But I cannot bring myself to do it.
We have a friend who own a B&B on a lake. She invites us up every summer & I have every excuse under the sun why we never take her up on it (she lives in town during the school year).
Just taking the kids to dads office I have to pull over & try to breath while the kids are asking why I've stopped. I don't want to make a big deal with it to them, because I don't want them to feel my anxiety. My DS already suffers from anxiety, but he's okay in the car, even AFTER our recent accident. So I don't want to make it worse. Luckily I got smart & thought of parks on the way home so that they thought I was making their 8 mile trip more fun rather than me needing to breath.
I don't read the odometer, but I use the mile markers on the road. Or other landmarks if I've driven that route long enough.
Long past are the days I would drive to calm myself down. Long past are the days I would roll down my windows & look for a windy road up the mountains. Long past are the days I had this American freedom of the automobile.
>> The Obsessed video was only the intro. Need to see if it's on demand, but I doubt it :(
I had been waiting & waiting for an Obsessed that focused on driving & this one had 3 drivers!!!
Wish I could find a self-hypnosis for free. I found it really did help with my smoking - though it took several attempts. I've tried looking with no luck thus far.
But at least I am able to go about a bit. Still with a lot of anxiety, but able to do it well enough the kids don't realize any more. But I stay in my safety zone & hide the fact it what I'm doing.

For me it's the problem of not being able to pull over & stop my car to breath. When my driving anxiety in settled in I'm constantly looking for my escape route. No escape route on a bridge ... have to make it across no matter what or cause a huge scene.
Luckily downtown happens to be on my side of the river... if I were to ever actually drive downtown :) I tend to park & ride the train.
... interesting compulsion though. I used to have one to veer my steering wheel really hard to the right. What was strange, come to find out my brother had the some one???
