Sunday didn’t pan out exactly how I had planned out. The plan was to go for another 50 miler ride. I woke up and there was about 1/2 of an inch of snow on the ground. The one rule that I have on the bike is that if it just snows and [...]

What a day….What a ride.  Got out on the bike around 12:30, with the temps hovering around 32 degrees.  The goal was simple.  Get 50 miles.  Easiest way to do that for me is to do an out and back, so that is what I did.  I grabbed the fixed gear and went out a [...]

Yesterday was a good day overall. Went up to Cranmore mountain and did my Meisters race run with Kelly, came home took the dog for about an hour jaunt through down, then it was time to get down to business on the trainer. Since I am coming up with my own training regiment, I used [...]

WOW, I can’t believe it has been an entire week since my last post. Did a bunch of training (XC skiing), ordered me up some back country cross country skis, which should be here this week so I can head out, road the trainer, got a resistance unit for the rollers, cleaned up the house, [...]

Tonight was a night filled with pretty much nothing.  I sat around entering all my receipts and such into my quicken check book.  Fun time.  More importantly, I rested the legs up.  With 6 recent days of trainer/outside riding done, I figured tonight would be a good night to give them a rest before I [...]

Yesterday was a busy day for me.  Woke up, came to work in a wonderful snow storm, went home, shoveled for an hour and a half, rode the trainer for an hour, slept, woke up, and went snowboarding for 2 hours today.  Yeah, I am pretty tired but I guess thats what happens.
Hopefully in the [...]

Another nice day out today.  Took the dog for her usual hour long walk then home to get ready for the ride.  I did another 2 hours on the fixed gear for about 35 miles.  The legs feel great and I no longer am sore from the shoes and I didn’t adjust the cleats at [...]

Got outside on the fixed gear bike for about 2 hours today.  Man it was nice to breathe in some fresh air vs the hot stuffy air I normally get inside on the trainer.  Gotta love it.  The legs are a little sore because I ran my new Lake Winter Shoes. I think I will [...]

What a past few days.  Temps in the low to mid 60s (at least that is what my thermometer said) and the thaw coming.  Of course, as soon as I get interested in some cross country skiing, things get warm.  If I was going to order a pair of skis, this would have been the [...]

What a waste of a day.  It is this nice out and I am stuck in my office doing freaking paper work.  That is all wrong.  Finally gets into the 50s and everything is melting nicely and I have to sit here and watch it through the window.  Another thing that sucks is that this [...]
