Most useful of income: solitary, dating and spending a really high cost for it

WeвЂ™d feel if something we did ended up being written about in the Financial Times, and I canвЂ™t help reflecting on those words ahead of sharing what follows when I started my first job after university at a merchant bank in the City, a director asked my graduate intake to consider how.

But this is basically the article that we wish IвЂ™d read before composing a big cheque to an introduction agency.

Undoubtedly, we canвЂ™t plead naivetГ© that is financial. Now within my 40s, after my amount of time in the town, we worked as being a dealmaker for a big, committed internet business in america, before realising a long-held fantasy to become an author that is published. IвЂ™d graduated with a degree that is first-class was at the utmost effective 10 percent of my company college course вЂ¦ none of which provided me with pause for thought when handing a lot more than ВЈ6,000 up to a matchmaking agency, in advance, on going back to great britain after time abroad.

Over fifty percent the population that is UK now solitary, in line with the workplace for National Statistics, therefore the largely unregulated dating industry is approximated become well worth vast sums of pounds.

Matchmaking services are appearing with increasingly adventurous cost structures вЂ” specially in main London, that has significantly more than its reasonable share of rich singles. The ВЈ6,000 cost we paid has reached the low end of this London introduction agency range. We heard about one charging you ВЈ30,000.

Discernment and privacy are understandably desired by all included, rendering it difficult to obtain a gauge that is reliable of rate of success of those solutions before joining вЂ” if not certainly the way they run.

Desired: wife

My expensive dating journey started whenever IвЂ™d discovered the career we enjoyed, purchased a property and resettled in London, simply to get the big little bit of my life nevertheless lacking: you to definitely share it with. The majority of my London set that is social settled into family members life because of the time we came back, and I also knew I necessary to think about different ways to fulfill a partner.

I soon eschewed online dating sites, which hit me as too time unpredictable and consuming. For many years, individuals failed to appear to understand whom these people were online that is meeting pictures and pages might be notoriously deceptive. Then, Tinder arrived.

Claer Barrett and visitors talk about the expenses of premium matchmaking

Tinder interacts with Facebook, rendering it much more likely you know when dating online that you will identify others. This appears to work very well for the вЂњdigital nativeвЂќ generation, but we balked during the dangers of blending my dating tasks with individual or relations that are professional. I became interested in the thought of a personalised solution that might be discreet yet effective, thus I utilized the internet rather to look for a old-fashioned matchmaker.

Most matchmakers I discovered were obviously looking for rich, worldwide customers, typically with workplaces in Mayfair. The main one I picked appeared more right down to planet, its premises situated outside main London. For the meeting that is first prospective matchmaker utilized the Institute of DirectorsвЂ™ building in Pall Mall as her digital workplace. She ended up being well talked, inside her thirties that are early appealing and never pushy. SheвЂ™d studied art and had been acquainted with Jungian therapy.

Element of my mind started switching: with her, she would have friends like herself; people exist within tribes of similar people while I hardly expected to get together. She could possibly be my вЂњwing-womanвЂќ вЂ” that forgotten feminine friend at college whom began magical sentences with, вЂњYou actually should fulfill my friendвЂ¦вЂќ

The kind of person I was hoping to meet, plus the agency fees and the contract at our first meeting, we discussed everything you might expect: my background. She explained that the ВЈ6,000 actually did must be compensated in advance, but she could guarantee me personally a number that is certain of вЂ” presuming things got that far вЂ” before we came across Miss Right.

Then, household call. My matchmaker informed me that, to make it to understand me personally, she necessary to see my house. IвЂ™d utilized the profits of stock-based remuneration from my past work to purchase a tiny household off the KingвЂ™s path in SW3, which came across with basic approval. Just how all this given into the matchmaking procedure, we never ever would started to understand, apart as a result possibly confirming that I became great for the charges.

Associated article

Thus far, the Sloane ArrangerвЂ™s activities have now been products gatherings in London members that are private groups costing ВЈ25 a mind, however they will expand this present year to add supper events, cheese and wine tastings and ticketed sports вЂ” all with a watch to involving equal amounts of qualified gents and ladies.

Nelson was on ground for first day of the Battle of the Bulge

Boulder Daily Camera

G. Allan Nelson still drives his own car. He golfs. He stays up late following the Rockies on their West Coast road swings and he gets up early to go to work five days a week in downtown Denver. He recently made his first trip to Blackhawk and pocketed over $150 from the “one-arm bandits” – also known as slot machines.

Fresh off celebrating his 88th birthday, the 6-5 Nelson looks like a prospect who could rebound better than anyone on the Colorado basketball team did last season. And the Battle of the Bulge survivor, who will be honored during the Bolder Boulder’s Memorial Day tribute at Folsom Field, still has some eligibility left.

Nelson returned to the University of Texas after World War II - he recalls watching the Longhorns beat CU 76-0 on Sept. 28, 1946, in Austin - and

was asked by the basketball coach if he’d like to try out for the varsity team.

“What’s crazy is I didn’t think I could,” Nelson said. “I told him I had too many labs. But it turned out that the captain of the team was also a geology major.”

Nelson, a consulting petroleum geologist who has been living in Colorado for more than 60 years, arrived at Texas from his native New Jersey to begin studying in 1941. He also became part of the Army’s Enlisted Reserve Corps.

“We had an infantry basic (training) and went back to college in uniform,” Nelson said. “There were thousands of us in all colleges.”

Nelson became a part of the Army Specialized Training program designed to identify, train and educate academically-talented enlisted men as a specialized corps of Army officers during WWII.

At least that’s what he was told.

“Our IQs were so high we thought we’d go to officers’ candidate school,” Nelson said. “We were in college for six months and they threw all of us in the infantry.”

Nelson went into combat in November 1944 at the Battle of the Bulge – named for the westward bulging shape of the battleground on a map – which began with an aggressive German attack the morning of Dec. 16.

“My misfortune is I was not only in the Battle of the Bulge, but I was there the first day,” Nelson said. “At the end of three days there were probably less than 50 men left in my rifle company. We started with 180 men. The rest were killed, wounded or captured.”

Nelson was a member of the 99th Infantry Division, which did not yield to the German attack despite being surrounded and greatly out-numbered.

“There were 1,000 of us hit by 12,000 Germans,” Nelson said. “That means there were 12 Germans coming through the woods trying to find one person like me. I was a bazooka man.”

In March 1945, Allied Forces were able to capture Ludendorff Bridge at a town called Remagen. Adolph Hitler had ordered the bridges over the Rhine, the last major geographical hurdle to Allied troops, destroyed.

“One significant thing that happened is the 9th Armored Division had unexpectedly captured a bridge over the Rhine at Remagen. I ran across the bridge under fire and the next day I was in two very bad patrols in the morning,” Nelson recalled. “My foxhole mate and I were wounded in the afternoon. He was standing right next to me and he was killed. It was the worst day of my life.”

Things would only get worse after dark.

“The ambulance I was in was in a head-on collision that night,” Nelson continued. “We had our ‘night lights’ on and we were sideswiped by a six-by-six truck. Now we were all walking wounded. I had to go up through the front of the ambulance to get out, and the driver was unconscious. We ended up in a farmer’s field.”

Nelson’s next assignment was to be a bodyguard for two-star Maj. General Walter Lauer.

After serving the country with honors, Nelson was awarded a Purple Heart. He then returned to Austin and received his B.S. in geology in 1947. He went to work in the giant Rangely oil field in northwest Colorado before starting his own business as a consultant in 1957.

When asked over a cup of coffee if he has thought about retiring, Nelson said, “No, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Nelson’s wife, Ruthie, a nurse during WWII who he met later in Denver, passed away three years ago. On his 83rd birthday five years ago he promised her he would never go out on an oil well again.

“Last December I went out on a well next to DIA,” Nelson admits. “That’s what I call cheating on your wife.”

In 1993, Nelson was named Chairman of the 99th Infantry Division Association. He organized a reunion in Colorado that drew 1,000 people and was then elected president of the association.

“My biggest accomplishment was getting a beautiful, big granite monument built in Belgium in what were called the Twin Villages three miles from the German border,” Nelson said.

Nelson has children and grandchildren who run the Bolder Boulder every year. Instead of waiting for them in the Folsom Field stands this Memorial Day, he will be honored on the field.

Documentary planned

To the Editor:

On behalf of Christian Frey I would thank you very much for your help in conducting interviews of 99th Division veterans concerning their experiences during the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 during the Norfolk Convention. As Frey told me, the interviews gave him an extensive insight in what it meant to be a soldier at that time. We are sure that the testimonies of the 99th Infantry Division veterans will be an important part of the documentary.

We still are busy filming and interviewing and we will finish the documentary at the end of the year. It will be broadcast in Germany in spring 2004. At the moment it is not yet decided when it will be shown in the United States.

Jailed for Justice: Day 13, Rochelle

If one word could sum up our Rochelle stop it would be passion. Everywhere we have gone, all of the people we have met, have shared the belief that together we can and will make change. Rochelle was no exception. It was so inspiring to see person after person flooding into the church to take part in stop 13 of the Jailed for Justice Tour. Here is this tiny little town, we saw one of the biggest turn outs of the entire tour and the crowd was ready.

The citizens of Rochelle gathered because they were ready for something new, they were ready for change, they were ready to ban together and make change a reality for their town and it was an honor for us to be a part of that. The President of the local NAACP delivered a particularly rousing speech in support of change. “We cannot rely on these people in Atlanta to make change, we need to make change right here for ourselves.”

During the community discussion portion of the program we were troubled to learn that despite the fact that a large portion of the population of Rochelle is black there are no black bank employees, no black law enforcement, and there may not be any black school teachers. Segregation is alive and well in Rochelle Georgia, and folks are ready for a Moral Movement aimed at shaking a status quo that isn't working.

Rochelle is no stranger to movement, in fact just last year Rochelle made international news when one high school student decided to organize the cities first integrated prom. It’s hard for some to imagine but the civil rights movement simply didn't fully take root in parts of the deep south. We were truly honored that the young bold organizer, Mareshia Rucker, that lit that spark was among the attendees last night! It was truly an honor to get to know her!

We are excited for the future of Moral Monday in Rochelle, during our community conversation there were even talks of having a march at the county courthouse. We look forward to that day when we can stand beside our brothers and sisters in Rochelle.

Jepara As the Heart of Indonesian Home furniture Sector

AdanTacy 07 Jun , 2021 0 Comments Uncategorized

Indonesia is globally recognized as the producer of higher top quality picket furnishings. The high high quality at cost-effective cost is the principal hallmark of furniture merchandise made from this country.

The mapping of this industry in Indonesia is fascinating to be mentioned listed here given that there need to be an answer with regards to to the center of furniture sector from this country.

The sector clusters are spread about Indonesia. Jepara, Bali, Surakarta and numerous other clusters form the sovereign market. However, furniture jepara of this type of business is Jepara. The issue is why this cluster is extremely robust in this industry.

Raw Substance Source

Uncooked substance for this sector is surely timber. As this cluster is situated in Java, the provide of wooden is not regarded as of considerable dilemma. The availability of timber is supplied by PT. Perhutani (point out -owned business specializing in ruling the offer of government’s plantation) and people’s plantation. The main timbers supplied by these entities are mahogany and teak wood. A lot of researches prove that wooden, specially teak, is the very best teak wooden in Indonesia. Even so, the best wooden is equipped by PT Perhutani which only minimize down the tree if and if only the tree is old adequate.

Craftsmanship is certainly aspect which helps make Jepara to turn into quite sturdy cluster in making picket furnishings. In fact, this town has significantly much less wooden offer than its environment. Blora, Pati, Ngawi, Bojonegoro are cities whose wooden are acknowledged with its quality. However, people towns are not identified as furniture producers. The timber made from these towns is equipped to Jepara to be transformed into furnishings goods. This means that craftsmanship possessed by this town creates a worth added to the total of this business.

Honoring the resurrection

In each unfolding moment, the archetypal activity of the crucifixion, resurrection, and transfiguration is being enacted inside us, as it simultaneously plays out within the natural world. Thoughts and feelings are arising, playing, dancing, decaying, and dying, mirroring the movement of the seasons, tides, myths, and patterns that are playing out underneath the surface.

Each image, dream, longing, and revelation… something unprecedented is attempting to break through. The visitors are gathering, placing their symbols, guidance, and poetry onto the altar in front of you.

What is being crucified within you, so that new forms may appear? What old dreams are asking to die and reconfigure so that new vision may emerge? What old ways of imagining yourself, others, and the world are being asked to be placed into the vessel for illumination and transformation? In what ways have you forgotten what is most important and found yourself not living the deepest truths that you have discovered?

How will you honor the resurrection that is longing to emerge though and as you on this new day?

The forms that love take will always be crucified, for this is the way of form. In order to resurrect, they must first decay, putrefy, and evaporate. This process is not evidence of error, but of wholeness.

Our relationships, work in the world, life circumstances, who we thought we were and what would provide meaning… the way we thought it would all turn out. At times and with the cycles our wild and unique inner nature, these must be sacrificed on the cross of the unknown, in order for resurrection to have roots in the earth and to come alive here.

Honor the forms of love as they appear, but allow them to depart so that they may continue their journey, for it is one of immense creativity. Yes, your heart may break as the forms dissolve in front of your very eyes, but it is by way of this breaking that you may be resurrected once again.

Tips To Take Your Home Business Enterprise To The Next Level

There are very few people who have not thought about starting their own business at home. The luxury of working the hours you desire and having no boss is very appealing. Implementing this into a plan is a bit tricky, but this article can help you.

Starting a business that you can work on from home can be enjoyable and challenging at the same time. First, you have to locate a niche for your work from home business. Pick an audience and a product you are already familiar with if possible. Before you rely on a single business, do your research. You need to be networking with other successful home business enterprise owners.

If you want to market something and you are not sure what, make it something you use. When you have established a need, you can be more successful in product choice. If your products make your life easier, then others will likely find them just as useful.

Update your website if your inventory has run out on individual products. Customers do not like to wait, and you will seriously upset them if the items they ordered won’t be arriving for several days. Give your clients the option to chose other products and let them know when a product is on back-order.

Don’t quit your job when you’re just starting your home business enterprise. New businesses generally take awhile to start generating profits, so stay employed at your current job if possible. Keeping your job will ensure that you have enough money to cover your bills and take care of sudden expenses as they occur. You can continue to build your company in your spare time.

Actively seek the support of others in home businesses that are similar to yours. Seek out other home based business owners and form a network. Even though these people might not be in your niche, you all are alike in your motivations to succeed.

Get involved with a home based business online community. This will allow you to interact with others in the same position. Having that connection with others that work at home, you can help each other along the way.

Be brief when writing the objective of your business. Be sure to include the purpose of the business, as well as any goals you have for it. You should be able to tell people what you are all about and why you stand out.

Mailing Lists

Mailing lists will help your at-home business enterprise. Be certain that your communications are not spammy. Mailing lists allow you to advertise new sales or promotions. Or, use it to send relevant content and info to them; and include a coupon, as well. Make sure to add in a link where they can sign up to join the list.

Check with a tax professional to find out which tax deductions you are allowed to take for your home business and make sure to take them. You will be surprised how much money you could save on your taxes just by taking advantage of your entitled deductions.

Make sure that you are comfortable flaunting yourself when you start a home based business. You need to learn how to talk about your business positively and get others interested in what you are trying to sell. You don’t want your clients to feel that they are receiving an inferior service or product. Self promotion is something you will need to learn how to do successfully if you are going to bring in top profits.

As you can see, it will require a little bit of work and dedication to make the jump. If you can manage to pull through and stick to the plan, you will be able to accurately represent your dream in the company’s image and create something that is long-lasting and profitable over the years.

a home business can be a really rewarding choice
, you just need to have to stick to a verified method to make sure your success

Narcissus Absolute

Narkiss Blue BG by Dror Miler
Narkiss Blue BG, a photo by Dror Miler on Flickr.
There is no denying it. The relationship between narcissus absolute and the living flower is nil. Void. Nada.

If it wasn't for the name, there would be nothing in it to suggest the intoxicating perfume that linger in the air in mid-winter in the Mediterranean region. When a Narcissus tazetta* is around and in bloom, you can't miss it. The humble little bulb plant often hides between thorny bushes but the scent cannot conceal itself. Little pillars carrying bright shining stars that seem to have a face and a character of their own. The flowers radiate a most audacious, heady, refreshing, intoxicating and inviting aroma.

On sunny winter weekend, after a night of showers, we would jump in the puddles and the scent of narcissus flowers will stop us on their tracks. We'd look around for the source of this lovely scent (and after a year or two in the village, noticed they will usually show up in the same place - which is only logical for an endangered bulb plant). But once coming closer - there is a certain point when you're too close, and the scent is almost repulsive, reminiscent of ripe corpses and feces abandoned in some ancient battlefield.

The absolute of narcissus, while certainly haunting, as a different story. It has a certain voluptuous darkness about it, yet is also honeyed, greenish and soft. Narcissus being related to tuberose, it is no surprise to find relationship there - tuberose-like character but not nearly as dominant. Not quite powerful as to bring to mind any of the dark tales of doom associated with this flower in Greek mythology. Like its tuberose cousin, it is heady yet waxy and smooth, green and also slightly buttery and powdery. There is also an underlying sweetness reminiscent of dry hay-laden meadows and wet soils it brings to mind the surroundings of a Mediterranean winter landscape rather than the aroma of the flower itself.

Coming back to the lab this morning for round 3 of my narcissus perfume, I'm now compelled to tell the story of the winter meadow, rather than a standalone flower perfume or a soliflore. I wanted version .03 (created on 03.03.2014) to feel like that haunted moment when you spot a rainbow in the cloud. The realization that some mushroom have grown overnight after the rain, within arm reach of where the narcissus flowers are hiding.

* The cultivated plant Narcissus Poeticus is also used for extraction. So the variations in scent also are due to the variations between these particular species, not only the extraction method or the locale.

As I once wrote on your "studying narcissus" former post, you may retrieve the white flower fantasy in the narcissus absolute buy applying it on fabric.

Somehow it smells of flowers when I spray ten times of "fleurs de narcisse" (l'artisan parfumeur) on T-shirt or sleeves and wait for 2 hours.
Hopefully, despite the waste, the feeling of manyfold white flower last for days.
Else, this perfume is a bit dull, in a tabacco masculine and vinegar herbaceous sort of way.

The "monique Rémy" absolute is made of narcissus flower harvested mechanically with the stem. I thing it somehow enhanced the green facet of the thing.

Wednesday, 6 November 2013

Someone last week said that they were amazed that we were doing up a house at all, let alone together.

It was the 'let alone together' bit that is proving the more difficult. We have been together for more than 40 years and since 2007 have spent most of our time together. So we think we know what the other one is thinking. How wrong can you be.

There are more and more occasions where we assume that the other one has understood that we were ordering such and such, that we were 'always' thinking of doing this, 'never' going to have a radiator there, the basin was 'always' going there. And so on.

I guess we are having to make huge numbers of decisions.

And each time, it is surpring. And somehow unsettling.

PS The roof man has confirmed that we are booked in for end November, beginning December - yay. Happy Christmas!

  1. Leo used to make detailed plans....and then something would always change which put something else out in its turn....but we survived it all...

  2. We've been together even longer than you, Rosie, yet DH can still surprise me, not always in the way I wish for, and we're not even restoring a house. :-)

A Medley of Christmas Cards - using Stampin' Up! ® products

Well I finally managed to finish all my Christmas cards, including 42 for classmates and friends for Regan and 12 for Lewis' playgroup.

Next year, remind me to pick one or two designs and stick to that. I was busy with workshops, classes and convention over October and November and didn't really plan my own Christmas card making too well. When I finally started to make my own I ended up using up bits and pieces of what was there thinking it would save time - hmmmm not sure it did really.

Here's a few of the designs I made:

I cut the word Merry from Silver Glimmer Paper using the Expressions Thinlits. (Top tip: use a layer of wax paper between the thinlit and card stock and the word will pop out really easily).

I used the Essentials paper-piercing pack to pierce the "strings" for the baubles.

I used the Essentials paper-piercing pack to pierce the border around the outside of the top layer on this card and the card at the top.

I used the sentiment from the Special Season Stamp set to stamp the greeting down the left side of this card. This card follows a design I made in August (except I didn't do the paper piercing on this one as I made about 40 of them)

I used the Stampin' Write markers on the gifts stack stamp from Wishing You, so each gift would be a different colour.

For these cards I have used the following products:

Card stock: Textured 12" x 12"- Island Indigo (132132), Smoky Slate (132131), Cherry Cobbler (132129), Whisper White (106549), Silver Glimmer (124005)
DSP: Winter Frost (132341)
Ink pads: Island Indigo (126986), Smoky Slate (131179), Coastal Cabana (131175), Cherry Cobbler (126966), Old Olive (126593)
Stampin' Write Markers: Smoky Slate (131898), Coastal Cabana (131260 set of 5 In-colours 2013/15), Island Indigo (131262 Regals Collection)
Stamp Sets: Delightful Dozen, Special Season (W 131766, C 131769), Wishing You (W 131748, C 131751), Very Merry Tags (W 130393, C 130402)
Punches: Mosaic (131267), Hexagon (130919)
Tools: Expressions Thinlits Dies 132171, Paper piercer (126189), Stampin' Pierce Mat (126199). Paper-Piercing Pack Essentials (126187)

Well so far I have managed to write and get about half my cards in the post. Number one task now is to complete the other half!

Today is the last day for orders if you want them before Christmas.

Church Directory 2021

Our last completed directory was done in 20__ and we’ve changed a bit since then! We are excited to be updating our directory to match our current and growing congregation! While we’ve done many directories over the years, this one puts a modern twist on the old idea.

In the past we’ve had a company come in, take photos, collect information, and then release a paper directory that then becomes outdated almost as soon as it hits the press. With the twenty-first century comes more accessible and flexible directory options –– including online options!

Using a secure and verified platform, this directory will give you the flexibility of updating photos and information as you have updates (without waiting for the next one to come around) and will give you access to the directory in paper form as well as on your smartphone or computer. We will have one printed every few years and can print them as needed in the office, but this gives you the flexibility to keep it updates as life changes!

In order to ensure we have the most up-to-date information for your family, please complete the form at the link below.

We plan to have the directory printed by the early Fall 2021!

RacenLog July 13, 2007

Welcome to the third installment of my RacenLog. It's been an exciting month to race, with many new events and experiences now under my belt. I hope that this RacenLog will encourage you to give racing a try and to join the Rapid Wheelmen Race Team.

There are perks (free stuff!) to joining the Race Team. Join or find out more by calling me at 616-633-8601, join our yahoogroup at RWRace@Yahoogroups.com, or email me at race@rapidwheelmen.com. I know some of you are racing as Rapid Wheelmen who aren't on the team. If you're one of them, join the team by contacting me. There's no downside, only camaraderie and free stuff!

National 24 Hour Challenge (June 16-17, 2007)
Race Team Racers (RTRs): Joel Bierling (443 miles)

The most physically challenging event of my life. That was what was in my head as I prepared to ride the National 24 Hour Challenge (N24HC). Also were my words of a year ago as I berated a few fellow Rapid Wheelmen for doing something as crazy as riding a bike for 24 hours straight. Though, at the time I did say that given the rapidly increasing time I was spending on my bike, I just might be that crazy in a year. Truer words couldn't be spoken. Crazy I've become.

I'd heard that most of the participants had a crew supporting their ride. So I asked my wife if she'd mind staying up all night serving me food and drink. She said yes; she must love me. It would be tricky, as we have a 7 month old. So, we arranged to have my mother take care of him starting at 5am and then trading off to Sara's parents taking over watching duties in the afternoon and bringing him to the race, since he still needs his mother. So things started coming together. Now for planning for the riding. What to ride, how to ride, what to eat, what to drink?

I have a variety of cycling equipment, some of which I use for competitive racing around a circuit, some I use for time trialing, and some I use for training and casual riding. The challenge with the N24HC is that it's a combination of all three. Much of it is, for all practical purposes, circuit racing. But at any minute you could find yourself all alone time trialing. You also want to use equipment that's up for the punishment and is going to get you through the whole day. Another part of the equation was the night riding. I had a perfectly adequate lighting system for 3 hour rides, but nothing that would get me through 7+ hours of darkness. In the end, I decided to use my disc wheel and aero helmet.

Depending on the exertion level, you can potentially burn about twice as much energy as you can eat. That difference is usually fine during shorter rides, since your body also stores enough energy for a couple hours without having to eat anything at all. But if you need to keep going for 24 hours, that difference becomes a bit of a problem. The whole nutrition thing is a balancing act. If you don't eat enough, your body will run out of fuel. If you eat too much, it will just sit in your stomach. Much of my preparation for the event was figuring out how much food and drink to bring along. So I did my best to plan out my eating and drinking.

Hopefully both the bike and I would survive the experience.

Post ride/race report.

Summary/stats: 8am Sat - 8am Sun. 443 miles. Highs in the mid to high 80's. 4th overall out of 366 riders. (502 miles, 458, 450, 443, 426, ...). Total pedaling time was about 22:56, not including the time left at the end (partial laps didn't count). My stopped time was about 53 minutes. 19.3 mph moving average.

The N24HC is billed as an individual challenge ride, but make no mistake about it, among at least the guys in front, it's a race. It's a race to personally do well, it's a race to stay with a group for a draft, and it's a race to ride more miles than the guy riding next to you.

The first loop went well. I was planning on picking up some food at the first checkpoint, but as I rode through I couldn't find the official food stand. It would have been helpful if it were a little more obvious. But I had plenty of food with me and I didn't want to lose the lead group, so I kept on pedaling. I was considering stopping for a nature break but decided against it. In retrospect I probably had plenty of time, since other riders were stopping and others were somehow managing to do it from their bikes. What a skill!

The ride to the second checkpoint on the first loop was uneventful, other than one of the riders trying to get a proper pace line going. A few riders were insisting on pulling though so I finally mentioned that we might as well just let them. I did end up needing to stop for a nature break though and had a little worry about catching the group, but I managed to time trial myself back on. Thankfully this was probably the only point during the day where I had to put myself a little into the red zone, putting my long term endurance at risk. At the second stop I managed to find the official food stop and grabbed a couple bananas.

We kept rolling on through the rest of the first loop. One of the riders who would later go on to win the event kept trying to get more people to pull to increase the pace above 22+mph. At this point, I think most of the riders that had been insisting on pulling had burnt off their extra energy and had gone into energy conservation mode rather than “look how fast I am” mode. There was some frustration at the slowish pace (it probably could have been 23-24mph) and at one point a break was tried (it's easier to get a real pace line going if everyone in the group is helping), but the "break" got bridged and that was that.

By the time we completed the first loop and arrived back at the school, the lead group had been whittled down to 12 riders. I hurried through the checkpoint, grabbing a sandwich from my wife Sara on the way because I didn't want to lose the lead group. I felt kind of bad for Sara since I couldn't explain why I wasn't staying to chat a little. A group of 5 formed after leaving the school for our trek around the second loop. At the point I lost the leader on the second time around the second loop (while I was taking another nature break—I guess I have to learn to do this on the move!) the lead group was a group of two. After my second second loop, I switched socks and adjusted my shoes too. I hadn't been using insoles in my shoes, and my feet were killing me.

At this point the N24HC was probably pretty much an individual event for most of the riders. I hooked up with a few others, but usually lost them after every checkpoint. I used my aero helmet until roughly 3:45pm when I switched to my lightweight vented one, and it was actually after that point that I felt the pressure of the heat. I wasn't hungry or thirsty, which was a bad sign. But I recovered from that within an hour or so, and after that felt fine.

Around 7:50pm I switched to the night loop. While the rider density was higher, I kept riding mostly by myself (or pulling with a couple brief drafts) mainly because I couldn't realistically keep up with the one group going faster than me. This group was made up of the eventual winner and as I found out later, several other riders who were specifically helping him by pulling him around the night loop. I couldn't keep up with his group without killing myself; there weren't any other groups going slower than his or faster than I could go alone. Perhaps more significantly though, I came to the epiphany during the night that I just don't enjoy riding in pace lines while it's dark.  There's a certain zen that's lost when your headlight is brightly lighting up some other guy's butt right in front of you (one guy's butt was soaked and literally dripping with some sort of chamois cream).  Plus, my riding style during the night wouldn't have worked too well in a group. During the flat parts of the loop I was constantly accelerating and decelerating to vary the effort so I could stay out of the saddle more than just when I was going up the hill. My butt needed the break!

Aero equipment wise, as I mentioned, I ended up using my disc and didn't have any trouble with it. The winner was using a softride time trial bike after the first loop and used an aero helmet at night. There was one other person who wasn't among the top riders using a disc. So, other than the three of us, there was no other aero equipment in use.

If I changed any equipment next year it would probably be to mount my helmet light to my aero helmet for night use, as I rode alone almost the whole time, and the air was plenty cool. Other than that, I was happy with my equipment choices. I'm sure the aero stuff didn't help me a whole lot, but when you're riding that distance for that length of time, every little bit helps.

There is one thing I think I could improve. I didn't realize how much the little stops to switch water/food, chat for a second to my crew, and hit the porta jon would add up. While I technically did just stay on my bike, only stopping for bathroom breaks, getting food/drink passed off, and mounting lights for the night, I think I could have taken 20 minutes off the downtime had I been more conscious of the time I was burning in little chunks.

There is one more thing I'll mention. I had a close call around 3am where I and 6 others were approaching a 4-way-stop intersection staffed by a sheriff standing in the middle with lights. A car just blew right through the intersection at what must have been 50mph or so. The sheriff could have been easily hit, never mind some of the cyclists.

Except for the late afternoon heat and the period around 5:30am where I couldn't quite see the end in sight yet, I had a great time. With only 10 more minutes I could have completed another lap, gotten a 450-mile pin instead of a 400-mile one, and tied for 3rd overall with 450 miles. Oh well, there's always next year. ;-)

Rapid Wheelmen Time Trails (June 25, July 2/9, 2007)
RTRs (June 25): Joel Bierling (35:45)
Others: Well everyone there is a Rapid Wheelmen member, so how come they're not all on the race team? Hint hint hint…
It was a hot day but I was determined to stop my backward slide in times. I managed that to some degree, but still not at my peak.

RTRs (July 2): Joel Bierling (36:09)
Out for a nice Monday ride ;-)

RTRs (July 9): Joel Bierling (36:42)
I was absolutely sure I was going to get rained on at some point so my enthusiasm was lacking, and the result showed. I also decided to use my deep dish back wheel rather than my disc. I wanted to mix things up a bit and I figured the disc wheel wouldn't fare as well in a rainstorm. The rainstorm never actually materialized but I wasn't too disappointed with my result since I was hoping to conserve some energy for Grattan and, more importantly, for the events of the coming weekend.

Grattan (June 20/27, July 11, 2007)
RTRs (June 20): Nick Christensen (B's 11th)
I spent the day still recovering from the N24HC, but Nick put in a great result. Good job Nick!

Nick is a new member of the Rapid Wheelmen race team. He's going to help me manage things specifically with the junior development squad. Thanks Nick!

RTRs (June 27): Joel Bierling (A's Pack fodder), Nick Christensen (B's 29th)
I got into a break again, and we pedaled our hearts out. After only 5 laps or so the peloton reeled us back in. Or so I thought. In fact, just after I sat up and resigned myself to getting eaten by the group, the peloton slowed down and the remaining members of the break took off in a renewed effort. Lesson learned—the break isn't over until it's over. Don't give up too soon.

RTRs (July 11): Joel Bierling (A's 8th), Nick Christensen (B's 22nd), Mark Bailey (B's 7th)
We have a new Race Team member for this week. Welcome Mark! Mark is the first rider to join the Rapid Wheelmen race team development squad.

This week I repeated my now normal strategy of starting in the front, but was rewarded with missing the rather large break. “Muttering” to myself, I did my best to help the peloton bring the break back and just 50 ft short of doing so, the peloton basically sat up and stopped. It was sort of a repeat of the previous week, but this time the situation was reversed. I told myself it's now or never, gritted my teeth, and jumped solo after the break. My memory is hazy at this point but after a couple laps or so I finally caught them. Whew! The effort pretty much wiped me out and at the intermediate sprints for points and primes, I mostly took up the rear. But at least I was there and collecting some points. I finally felt somewhat recovered by the final lap and managed to finish 4th in line, 8th overall.

Stay tuned for more next month. I'm doing the 5 Mile Hill Climb cancer research charity ride in a few days and will have a report of the event. We will see how many times I can climb the hill in two hours! Also on the todo list is the Ada Criterium. See you there.

While the BJP continued its attack on the government over the CAG coal allocations report, the party appeared somewhat isolated on Wednesday as the NDA failed to stay united, with the key ally — JD(U) — disapproving of the strategy of disrupting Parliament.

The Congress, meanwhile, not only managed to keep its UPA allies together, but also ensured that supporting parties like Samajwadi and BSP did not join the Opposition ranks.

Indicating his party had serious differences with the BJP over strategy, a senior JD(U) leader said while his party will go with the BJP’s decision for a day or two for the sake of “NDA unity”, it felt that “our senior ally’s insistence on stalling Parliament till Prime Minister Manmohan Singh resigns will not sustain as other parties are not inclined to adopt this line”.
