Something very interesting that has happened…..Today I am heading to the hospital for a CT scan. Seems as if I have a huge kidney stone. I had some blood in my pee pee (ok it looked like I wizzed coke) so I got it checked out. The urologist told me he looked [...]

Well, I would classify the Mount Saint Anne trip a success.  Sure, our athletes didn’t place very well, but I did get to ride every day.  Maybe it sounds a little greedy, but whatever, I am training…..or something like that.
Got back and yesterday was a day full of doctor visits.  First went to a pain [...]

last night I got in about 2 hours on the single speed and things felt good.  I am quite happy with the effort I put in.  Unfortunately, I am leaving bright and early for Mount Saint Anne in Quebec for a world cup race.  Sure, its a great race, but I don’t think I will [...]

I have been quite busy lately and I must say that is sucks.  I went back home to the parents place for Father’s day just leaving Wednesday returning yesterday.  It was nice to see the family.  The only bad thing about it was not being able to ride the bike.  Ohh well, what can ya [...]

Last night after work I got to sneak out for a quick hour ride.  I took the single speed 29er and I must say I absolutely LOVED it.  The trails I rode are the same ones I ride just about every day and I had so much more fun on them.  Yes, I hiked a [...]

Yesterday and today seem to be the regular type days with no riding for me.  Things at this point just seem to be so busy.  I really need to become a morning person so I can get up and ride in the morning.  On a note of the bikes, my 26” geared bike is out [...]

Well, another weekend has passed and I have not gotten a ride in.  Saturday Kelly and I did a little shopping plus it was raining all day.  When I did get home and thought about riding, I thought it was more important to take the dog for a walk being she was in her cage [...]

Today was just another typical day without any riding. The forecast for the day said heavy rains with damaging wind and hail. I would say that is about correct. I got home from work and didn’t have the motivation to ride being it was so ugly out. After about an hour at home, it got [...]

A friend from home will be visiting me at the end of the month and is currently into running all kinds of 5ks.  Some for fun and charity and some for actual racing.  After talking for a moment about me running again, he got the brilliant idea for me to try and win my $50 [...]

Kelly’s brother had to move apartments again, so Kelly and I went down to Boston to lend a hand. Thank goodness everything was moved into the new place, we just had to help rearrange everything. I must say it was quite the weekend. The good part about it was that Campy did [...]
