Straight Outta PROvo...

Blogging is so '06. Blog-quitting is this years' blogging.

November 2005 - Posts

Fart Louderdale, thE-rok-Malone conspiracy, and much much more goodness...
Yeah, I am heading off to Fort Lauderdale for the weekend. For work, so no bikey-bikey. Still, the forecast is mid 70's and sunny every day, so I like that. I already posted this at eriksaunders.com, so I guess this is sorta like re-gifting, but instead Read More...
Seasonal Depression...
I am pretty sure I have it. I was happy as a clam (maybe happier) before leaving Arizona... now, I am pretty bummed out. For our out of state guests, it is snowing here in You-tah. Time to snap out of it. And GO!!! Didn't work, but I'll keep trying. Oh Read More...
Polygamy- so hot right now.
Oh yeah, I forgot one detail of the drive home from Sedoner... We stopped at a rest area/gas station in Cove Fort (not far from BEAUTIFUL Beaver, UT) and I had my first legit polygamist siting. This dude pulls his mini van around way far from everyone Read More...
Return to the frozen tundra...and whatever else.
Ok, I am back from Sedona. We had a nice drive home, it was warm and sunny and we had a picnic lunch. Haley remains the road trip master. Back in the Prove, it was in the 50's when we arrived, not bad. The next morn, there was snow on the ground. This Read More...
Live via satellite!!
Yeah, we are here in Sedona. It is 70 and sunny everyday. I have been riding the mountain bike... there are trails everywhere. Have managed to only crash once. Yesterday Kelly and I hit out for awhile. It is good for me to ride with her 'cause I will Read More...
Turn around and face southward bound...
Off to Sedoner, Arizoner for the week of Thanksgiving. Sedoner is the same elevation as P-town, but being a state lower, it is a good deal warmer. That I like. I am taking my mountain bike as the road riding there seemed kinda sucky last year, plus, Kelly Read More...
Utah All-Stars Team
Reflecting on this years Redlands and an experience I had as a junior, I was thinking we should put together a team for a race next year. Maybe fRedlands, Gila or Mt. (In tha) Hood, not Cascase 'cause I am expecting a baby around then. Anyway, each team Read More...

My Quest for World Domination Continues...
and now for the big news: Noting the dwindling population of the Earth, Kelly and I decided we should attempt to solve this problem. What I am getting at here is that she is pregnant. See also: with child, bun in oven, knocked up, preg-o. She is only Read More...
Anybody Ever Surfed Utah Lake??
Rolled around for 4.5 hours Saturday in a gail with dirty mountain bikers Chucky and Kenny. These guys are awesome. They are always up for anything. It was so windy... and being smart we went out with a tailwind. You know what that means. Anyway, we cruised Read More...
Loyal Nate, Musical Interlude
Fans of Loyal Nate (both of you), head to eriksaunders.com immediately. The other UCA bloggers are stuck on some kind of music kick. I can't claim to have seen that many sucky concertos. The first concert I ever saw was Fishbone and Primus with my big Read More...
Training Camp with Gardie, Buy Me on Ebay
Gardie Jackson and I are putting together a training camp in Southern Utah the third week of January. It is gonna be hot !! You can tell just how hot by the fact that it is written in red. I figure Gardie is like the yin to my yang so we will make good Read More...
Another one bites the dust...
Heras popped for Epo. That's a big fish, sir. Awaiting B sample results, of course. Rabobank says they don't want the win. Gee, why not?? Read More...
The Best of Times...alright, "the pretty much Ok times"
Gabe Williams and Tom Sorenson joined me Saturday. We did 4 hours around West Mountain. Gabe is the man 'cause this was his second road ride of the year and he complained WAY less than me. This was my first ride on the winter machine. Not that I needed Read More...

Haley weighs in and My new diet
So Haley (this is my daughter for those who haven't been keeping score) had her 15 month appointment on Wednesday. She is in the 89 percentile for height and the 18 percentile for weight. Sounds like someone is taking after Dad. Kelly asked the doc if Read More...

Keeping the Title, Halloweener, a Mtn. Bike Ride, I pity the fool
Woah, I have got some work to do if I am going to keep my title of UCA Most Active Blogger. Where are these standings anyway? I tried the UCA homepage, but there was only some crap about bike racing. All Hallow's Eve has come and gone. As you can imagine, Read More...
