Outdoor Addict

Well it has been about a week or so since I have made a post but I must say that I have been busy.  This weekend I went to Bar Harbor to see some friends and to ride.  I got about 120 miles in on the 3 days.  It was really a nice weeekend to [...]

I figured out why the couch is winning our little battle.  Its my recover week.  Yea, thats the ticket.  I put in a good amount of work last week, so this week is recovery.  One of the major issues that I didn’t ride is because my bike is fithly.  it really needs a good cleaning.  [...]

Again, nothing much was done this evening.  The day looked so nice as I sat inside looking out.  The sun was shining, snow was melting, it looked great.  Then I walked outside.  Windy, cold awful.  There is just no need for this cold anymore.  So instead of riding, I went out to eat at the [...]

It is still to cold and I have lost all motivation to be on the couch.  One would think that since I just signed up for the Crank the Kanc race I would want to be out there a little more or at least get on my trainer.  Well, it seems that I’m just not [...]

Well first I must say that I am glad we didn’t get the amount of snow we were supposed to.  I think we got around a foot, give or take an inch.  Nothing too special.  Either way, I still had to shovel the driveway.  Leave it up to Kelly to come up some some good [...]

Winter you say…yes winter.  But Mike, you said it was 62 degrees yesterday.  Well it was.  WAS.  Today we are scheduled to get somewhere between 15-24 inches of snow.  What is going on here?  The temps go from negative temps to 60 degrees in 2 days then back to 2 feet snow.  Someone told me…hey [...]

Today the weather wasn’t all that great plus my back didn’t feel so hot because of me not taking my medications, so I decided not to ride this evening.  It seemed like a good thing to do, take a day off that is.  So instead of riding my bike, I took pictures of them and [...]

Today was the 5th day in a row that I actually got to ride outside.  It was nice.  Yesterday I did about 16 miles and today I did roughly 22.  So far the mileage isn’t piling up like I would like it to, but since I only get to ride from 530ish pm on, thats [...]

Distance- 48.12 miles
Thats right, I got 48 miles in these past 3 days and all of them were outside. And it was fantastic. First on Saturday, I did my normal loop just to spin the legs a little, then on Sunday I road with a group of guys who call themselves Team Weak [...]

Wow, what a workout.  I remember going to the gym in high school and not being this sore right afterwards.  Basically my session is a little over an hour long.  We begin with stretching for about 10 minutes to loosen up my hip flexor muscles and then we get right into it.  The therapist has [...]
