Nothing great has been going on these last few days.  First, this light is killing me.  By the time I get home, it is damn near dark.  Sure, I can get out the lights and head out, but I really want to take Campy for a run, but she doesn’t do so well in the [...]

Ugh, Mondays.  I don’t really like Mondays, but does anyone?  Its not that I don’t like my job.  I enjoy it to be honest.  It’s just the fact of getting up, and actually going somewhere on someone else’s schedule.  On the weekends, I set my own schedule and that is much better…
This weekend didn’t have [...]

Back on the bike for the last 2 nights.  Its always tough to get back on the bike when you haven’t ridden in over a week, plus you are still feeling the cold that is keeping you off.  The mind says “NEED TO RIDE” but the legs and body says “sorry sucker, you need to [...]

Well it seems as if we missed the snow, for now.  I believe they are calling for more snow this evening into tomorrow.  Great.  I guess I really shouldn’t be so surprised, it is nearing the end of October and I live in New England.  What do I think is going to happen??  I just [...]

For some reason, my allergies are in full effect right now giving me a wicked runny nose, sore throat, itchy eyes and a head ache.  Damn you allergies.  Because of that, I have decided this would be a perfect week  to take a little break from some pedaling.  I rode once this week, with a [...]

Another night for heading out on the bike at night. This time, it wasn’t a dirt ride, but one with the road bike.
I was actually breaking and demoing a new Soma Fabrications road bike and I have to say, it rode really, really nice. Downeast is using the bikes for the upcoming Outdoor [...]

Night riding….gotta love it.  Last night went out for a 3.5 hour ripper.  Sure, I had a little tire/tube problem, but that was fixed fast and we were off riding again.  The cool part about it was 1)for 3.5 hours, I only had my light on for less than 1.5 hours because of the moon [...]

Heading out for another night ride tonight.  Hopefully I am making a habit of this.  The one nice thing about it is that I am riding with folks I normally don’t ride with, so I am learning new trails.  Hurray for that.  Finally, I can ride something else.
The weather is starting to turn over to [...]

Here in New England, the day light is fading fast. It is getting pretty dark around 6:30-7 already. So last night, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get home and ride before it got dark so I charged up the batteries for my lights. At about 7:30 I left [...]

It’s been a while since I have posted anything and boy have things changed since then.
First, and the biggest thing, is I got and started myself a new job.  I started about a week ago over at Downeast Bikes as one of ther buyers and also customer service reps.  So far, everything is going extremely [...]
