… err they had the sponsors change and now it’s Omloop Het Nieuwsblad rather than Omloop Het Volk. I imagine folks will still call it Het Volk. Anywho, it’s the start of the spring classics this weekend, my favorite part of the season. For this weekends race they even have google maps and google earth maps of the course. CyclingNews has a nice overview. I’m getting excited!

I am happy to say after a short hiatus I am working and riding my bike again. I was recently hired on as a contractor at Cloudant and just finished my first week of work. Also I have been riding and working out. It feels good to be outdoors and loosing some of the weight I gained getting ready for the wedding and the move. For the bike nerds out there I figured I would post a photo for my rig. Also regarding bike stuff, I finally broke down and installed a brake on my fixie. There are some stupid steep hills here in Seattle and happen to like my knees and life thank you very much. :) Anywho, things are good here, Erin, the cats and I are doing well.

While you are out playing on the internets go check out Dan Bischoff’s photos from his volunteer work in Rwanda and photo’s from Mike Lanyon and Erin Smith’s trip to Egypt and Israel (you might have met them at the wedding).

Mike Friedman made the top of the page at Drudge Report this morning with a link to a Yahoo news article about some cyclists arriving in China with black respiratory masks on. In the article they also have a couple photos of Bobby Lea. Sadly this is likely more press than they might get if they medal in the madison.

Edit: Velonews has an article regarding an apology for any disrespect the masks caused.

Now in its third illustrious year the ride will be starting from the Muny (lower) in Forest Park at 6pm every Thursday until the fall time change back to CST. We will start out with a shorted loop until the days get longer. If you are running late we head out on Midland from Vernon. Show up, make fun, ride some bikes.
