I took a couple of weeks off of playing rugby, my knees still hurt and I finally went to a doc. I took up cycling since it was much lower impact than running.<BR/><BR/>When I first started, I got passed by the 50 year old women in the club. They were pretty good riders but being in my late 20's, that was a blow to my ego. <BR/><BR/>I even rode to work today (about 9.3 miles each way). I forgot my wallet of course so now I have to go grub lunch money off of my coworkers.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-7296328496819977102007-07-13T11:58:00.000-04:002007-07-13T11:58:00.000-04:00A day late on this I know, but I can't help but wo...A day late on this I know, but I can't help but wonder if the Mets didn't bring in Rickey to be a little bit of a mentor for Lastings Milledge. I know the Mets have had some concerns about Milledge's attitude, so maybe they thought that he might listen to Rickey more than he would someone else. <BR/><BR/>Still though, when I heard Rickey had rejoined the Mets, I was really hoping it meant as a player. <BR/><BR/>Oh well...ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-14716010651240595152007-07-13T11:56:00.000-04:002007-07-13T11:56:00.000-04:00@ cycledan:Good Lord!

The last time he wore the jersey was 2002. This might be his last year. I think he is 36 or 37 which is old for a pro cyclist. <BR/><BR/>As of today, Tom Boonen took some intermediate sprint points and took back the jersey. <BR/><BR/>Plans for this weekend, visit my son in sleepaway camp. I will do my usual 55 mile ride on Sunday. It is not exactly the tour but we average close to 23 mph which is more than fast enough for me. Last Sunday I did a 100 mile ride that is too much for me to do every weekend.CycleDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08933822029791530613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-48033279952831681772007-07-13T11:52:00.000-04:002007-07-13T11:52:00.000-04:00I coached my t-ball team yesterday, so I'll spend ...I coached my t-ball team yesterday, so I'll spend the week in recovery.rafaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286062038193331350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-68159553361350437472007-07-13T11:49:00.000-04:002007-07-13T11:49:00.000-04:00Adding Brewer's rebounds doesn't help, Dan. lolI l...Adding Brewer's rebounds doesn't help, Dan. lol<BR/><BR/>I like Oden.
