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 [...]
Holy no posts batman!!
Recovery week
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. [...]
Couch 2 Mike 0
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 [...]
Nothing much going on
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 [...]
Same old stuff, different day.
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 [...]

The wonderful world of Ebay
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 [...]
5 for 5
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 [...]
3 outside rides in 3 consecutive days….unreal
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 [...]
More Physical Therapy….
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 [...]
