Not that many people care, but I updated the biking section of the page with some new pics of the rebuilt ride. I’m going to get some new pics of the commuter up soon, but for now the originals will have to do.

So, as part of his Christmas present, I set up a new blog for my cousin and seriously best friend Ryan. He’s been wanting to start a blog and I figured I’d register the domain and get it all up for him.
I set up the domain, got Wordpress installed and began looking for themes. I found a few that I liked, but nothing that really stuck out; Until I found a theme called Floristica. Black, gray, yellow (LiveStrong yellow). Perfect. I made some CSS mods, created a custom header image (complete with rounded corners to match the theme), imported his old blog posts and images, and applied my new LiveStrong Wordpress plugin. Viola! 8 hours well spent.
I’m going to have to do some training with him to ensure that his pics don’t start eating gobs of space on my hosting account, but other than that, he’s ready to go. So, check it out at http://twobigwheels.com

Got out and put in 12 miles today. The right side of my chest is still tender from my last wreck and I couldn’t quite get a full chest of air. Clearly, this made putting the hammer down pretty interesting. Regardless, I’m ready to get back to it. The shoulder held up well today, though the chest may take a bit longer to heal. Gotta start training though, Ryan and I are planning on racing cyclocross next season and we’ll need all the conditioning we can get.
Back on our Hell Ride 2008, Ryan took this video of me cleaning a pretty technical section of the trail. I figured I’d finally get around to posting it.
