Outdoor Addict

Dart-Nuun is one kick a$$ adventure racing team that we (Michelin and I) sponsor.  I keep fighting here at Michelin (its not really a fight, we all love them here at Michelin) to keep them on our tires and I am glad they are riding for us.  Anyway, they got themselves another podium spot at [...]

I am sure plenty of people out there are doing this, but you have to give it to Craig, he has some dedication. Riding the trainer at 6:19am.   I can’t even wake up at the time.  Good for him.

I found the snap that my legs were missing in the morning.  No idea what it was, but the commute home was a TON of fun.  I have a feeling that it was the night riding.  I was faster and felt smoother the entire time I was on the bike.  There is something special about [...]

As a bit of motivation for the tail end of this season, I decided to throw my $10.00 in and join in the Fat Cyclist Weight Loss Competition for some Ergon Grips.  I think this will help a bit to keep me on the bike every day.  So for this entire week, I will be [...]

Just about every time I am out one the bike by myself, I listen to music. For me, it just makes things better. I can concentrate on the beat of the music and match my cadence to it. Depending on what type of ride I am doing determines what music I listen to. To be [...]

So something that came to mind last night as I drifted away into my peaceful sleep.  I fell yesterday.  I fell hard yesterday.  I now have a bunch of cuts on my hip and leg and even worse some wicked charlie horse’s which I noticed every time I rolled over.  I don’t mention this because [...]

That’s right, my cycling season is not over quite yet.  Sure, it was only in the high 40s today, but I still took the single speed out for a little spin.  A little spin that lasted about 3 hours.  That is more than 6 hours on the single speed for the past 2 days.  Nothing [...]

Today’s plan was to get out and ride and thats what I did.  I got up, took care of some things around the house with the dog, raked leaves for 2 hours and made some calls to go for a ride.
The ride started out at about 51 degrees and I think it went downhill from [...]

Seems as if there is a little more info coming out about the drugs and lies from the pros from the past few year.
First off I give you Mr. Ulrich.
Second is Chicken and his lying.

I don’t like to be bored.  Tonight when I got home from work, I had the worst case of boredom ever.  Since I am taking this week off from riding, I sat here in front of the tv playing a little play station.  That lasted for about 3 minutes so I did what every outdoor [...]
