This is starting to become that forgotten blog that someone starts and never updates. My apologies. A couple updates.

My cousin got married. I went out to Pittsburgh for his wedding. They did a small close family only affair. When i was younger I used to go and spend a week each summer down at my cousin's house in PA. Chris, Andrew, and Kevin-- oldest to youngest. So I count as close family and those guys are like brothers to me. Pictures forthcoming.

That day turned out to be quite a food frenzy for me and I think I gained a pound or two. It started with a freshly baked raspberry muffin before the ride with a nice tall cup of coffee. I rode Mtn. bikes with my buddy Matt K, Andrew (from DirtRag) and his Wife Margy. Then I went to lunch for Thai food with Matt K. They had the best spring rolls ever. Over to the wedding--nice cermony--and then awesome appetizers. Cap those with a strip steak and some wedding cake. Fast forward, It's 9:00 at night, Matt k and I are out at Brillobox. We have some tasty brews in honner of St Patricks day and walk back down the hill, we order a pizza and eat almost all of it.

Update 2:

My knee hurts. I started riding a lot up to the wedding and in the week following and developed some IT band stress (I'm no doctor, but I sell road bikes part time). I made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor tomorrow. I really hope he is a cyclist too. I also really hope that he can just give me some stretches and I'll be able to get on the bike pain free. I'll update soon.
