A fine line between Comedy and Blasphemy

Stages ride from Jeff Donaldson on Vimeo.

Here is the clip of the Stages ride with Lance Armstrong. It was pretty fun to ride down Sunset Blvd with a lot of other cyclists. When I get more time, I will make a video including some of the still shots I took. This is just the ride taken from my helmet cam. The original footage is almost 9 minutes, so I sped it up, but it is a little jerky.

Soundtrack: A Year and a Day by The Beastie Boys off of their 20th Anniversary remix of Paul’s Boutique.

47.4 miles today on the bike.

Thanks to Sean for picking up this Respro Mask while he was in England. I wore it on the ride home and I could feel the cleaner air in traffic behind busses, etc and in the winds.

30.5 miles Tustin to Costa Mesa to Laguna

The last part 10 miles or so was into the wind. Suck. but I made it.
As a consolation Mother Nature gave me this to see on the way down the coast:

(Taken at Ruby’s Shake Shack 7703 E. Coast Hwy. Newport Coast, CA 92657, where although they closed at sunset, they offered to fill my water bottle, which was nice of them…Thanks!)

Did I mention my legs hate me?

Here is a post I wrote for OC Metblogs

I am testing a new beta feature that allows posts from there to be imbedded into other blogs.
