That’s how my legs feel.  Like a big pie of jello.  Last night I did about 2 hours on the single speed which brought the days total to over 3.5 hours.  It was quite a good day.  It was rather humid hear yesterday and with everything I ate and drank yesterday, on the commute home, [...]

loving it…

July 26th, 2007

I must say I do love riding my bike….I don’t know if its the single speed, the 29er tire, watching the tour every moment I am at home or that I have been off the bike for a little, but either way, I am really enjoying myself…

Legs feeling good

July 26th, 2007

Last night after work, I went for about an hour or so ride on the single speed, came back to the office, gathered up all my stuff and commuted the 20 minutes home.  Altogether I put in about 2 1/5 hours on the bike.  Sure the most of it was commuting with a couple hours [...]

Single speeding and loving it.

July 25th, 2007

Last night did about a 1.5 hour ride and this morning I have been out and about for a little.  I like the commute to work, which ends up being about 20 minutes each way if I take single track the entire way.  So this morning already I have over an hour of riding time [...]

A bit longer of a ride

July 17th, 2007

Yesterday I went off to try 2 hours on the bike and see how I felt after it. I left after work to piece together a 2 hour ride without many hills, as I wanted to see the endurance, not the hill climbing ability, as I already know I am no good with hills. 30.1 [...]

He rides again..

July 16th, 2007

Yesterday, weather wise, was kind of awful. I spent most of the day watching racing. The morning was the daily installment of the Tour and the evening was the Nascar race. Luckily between the 2, the weather broke, things dried and I got out on the bike again. I must say it was rather nice. [...]

the time has been set…

July 6th, 2007

Monday morning, 10:45 am….doomsday for the kidney stone….and boy I am excited.  Nothing like a room full of doctors and nurse’s working around “little Mikey”.  I think that is the part I am the most nervous about.  “the boys” are going to be man handled and I don’t like the sound of that.  Something else, [...]

Well, its official, I need to get surgery.  In fact I already have it scheduled for Monday.  After that, I think recovery time is like 3-4 days.  Needless to say, I don’t think I will be able to do the practice run up Mount Washington next weekend.  I haven’t been on a bike in about [...]
