On Sunday I achieved a goal that I’ve been working towards for several years: I rode 100 miles in a day. It’s the cycling equivalent of running a marathon, and it felt like the epic event that it really is. I’m amazed that I’m not in too much pain in my quads this morning –

This is one of those strange weeks that we often have near the start of the season, where we’ve had a couple of special concerts under our belt, then a few days off, another special, and then the season gets underway in earnest. This week happens to be one where we had a concert on

The season is beginning in its usual fits and starts manner, but there are some other things going on that are making this week a bit busier for me. First of all, my first century ride (see sidebar to the right for donation info) is coming up on September 26th, and yesterday I did my

Yes, today was the day that I chose to do my annual ride from Sunriver up to Mt. Bachelor. It’s not that big a climb for people like Alberto Contador, but for people like me, it’s a long, hard slog. I was expecting to show a lot of improvement this year in speed and general

The festival got off to a running start with the opening night pops concert, featuring music from the 30′s and 40′s, which the audience greatly enjoyed. Principal trumpeter Jeffrey Work

08/12 UPDATE: Thanks to my many generous friends and colleagues, I’ve met my $500 goal for this ride! Thank you so much, everyone! If you have not yet donated, please consider it, as it goes to two great causes: the Lance Armstrong Foundation, and the Knight Cancer Institute. Please pardon this random posting, but I’ve

Today I did my ride with the most climbing to date. My legs are definitely coming into shape now, just have to keep up the riding while I start doing more time on the axe as well…

Sunday was one of those days in which I took off my Oregon Symphony hat and put on my freelance violist hat. I was on leave from the pops series, so I was not at the hall for the OSO’s pops matinee on Sunday, but I was at the hall for an evening performance of

I’ll be spending the early part of Valentine’s Day by taking part in the 2010 Worst Day of the Year Ride here in Portland.

In a change of pace from recent posts, here’s a recent photo of some latte art that I’ve done. Doing a different kind of rosette these days, and getting a bit better at it… Oh, and I recently completed my first half-century (50 mile) ride last weekend. Not much time to ride this week, but

I got in to the Sunriver Resort community around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night, unpacked and promptly went to bed. The festival started right off the bat this morning with a 9:30 a.m. rehearsal. We worked on Schumann’s First Symphony “Spring” and the Beethoven Third Piano Concerto with Van Cliburn silver medalist Yeol Eum Son. I
