Didn’t ride today because of a few reasons. I do a race run at the local ski mountain on Wednesdays and it is rather difficult to commute on a bike while having a snowboard on your back. So I drove instead. When I got home, I started messing with getting a printer [...]

I broke my rule of commuting. Today it was 7 degrees when I left the house for work on the bike. It honestly wasn’t all that bad. I didn’t even have all of my bike clothing on, just a pair of jeans. It honestly wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Then again, I only [...]

Today I did just the normal commute to work in the morning and my fiance picked me up for lunch, walked back and rode back home from work when the day was over. Other than that, nothing much of difference. I might try to get on the bike later tonight, but I am not [...]
Updated Goals page..
I just updated the goals page. Weight loss is right on target, but the milage is a tad off. I do well during the week with commuting and riding at night, but this weekend Kelly and I went skiing. Which was one heck of a fun time, but it was a 90 mile drive round [...]
Back on the bike

Distance-21.26 miles

Today I got back on the bike for a bit of a ride. I did Spinervals #16, Aero Base Builder #1 and it felt real good. The back is hurting a lot less. It might have something to do with the fact I have had a heat pad on it for a while last [...]
No way Jose
When I stared up my jeep to go to work, it was 0.3 degrees. There is no way I was riding my bike. As I sit here in my house, with 2 sweatshirts on, watching my heating bill sky rocket, I wonder to myself why I live in New England. I am not a huge [...]
Cold and painful
Just too cold this morning, 5 degrees at 9 am, and my back hurt too much to ride the bike today. I hope both of these things improve in the next day or so because this isn’t much fun.
No luck with the back

The back is still hurting so again, I just commuted to work. I hope this goes away pretty soon as I would really like to get back on the bike and do some workouts besides just commuting. I guess it doesn’t help that my boss likes to snowboard so we hit the slopes for 2 [...]
The back is still hurting

Today I just commuted to work and back and did not ride the trainer. Because of my back hurting as bad as it does, I felt a day or 2 off the trainer won’t kill me. Sure it is early in the season, but I still need to make every training chance possible. [...]
Nothing much to speak of

Nothing much today, just a simple commute to and from work. Not too exciting.
When I got home I got to hook my TRENDnet KVM switch so I can work 2 computers with one set of speakers, one mouse, and one keyboard. For not being very computer savy, this was quite the easy install. [...]
