Whole lot going on…

November 30th, 2008

There has been a whole lot of training and such going on since I last checked in.  I got my road bike all rigged up for some night time rides using 4 different red lights and my head light, so that has kept me busy for a couple nights.  Along with that, I hit the [...]

My new revelation

November 18th, 2008

This morning when I woke up to go for the morning’s ride, I looked at the thermometer, which said 22 degrees, and decided that it was just too damn cold to get up at 6 in the morning and ride for an hour or so.  So my revelation is this.  I either need to get [...]

Wet winter riding

November 14th, 2008

With all of this wet winter riding road riding that I have in front of me, I can honestly say that I am not at all stoked about what it will be doing to my bike and its drive train. For many of those who aren’t aware, here in New Hampshire, the state decided that [...]

Snow and rain

November 13th, 2008

Nothing too exciting today.  Some morning rain storms and some evening rain/snow storms will most likely keep me off the bike for this evening.  Depending on what time I get home from work and get some things done, I might get out for some running or hit up the nordic track for some indoor cross [...]

Cold days ahead

November 12th, 2008

First rode today in under freezing temps.  30 degrees to be exact.  There is no need for the weather to be that cold, but then again, I live in New England and it is the middle of November, so what do I expect. Pretty uneventful ride this morning.  Same as all the others, but a [...]

Wet Noodles

November 11th, 2008

Not only do you eat em, but its what I am using to pedal the bike right now. Last night saw a group of about 17 people, which originally started out as a 3 person ride.  And even with all of those people, it was still a pretty good ride.  There was very limited waiting [...]

Weekend Round up

November 10th, 2008

Wow, what a weekend.  First, Friday night I took out the new Cygolite and did about 1.5 hours on the trail (the gps was a little off due to tree cover, fog and rain).  Gotta say, even though I have seen it on other people and have ridden while they used it, it was pretty [...]

Stupid Rain

November 7th, 2008

Well, the rain made a liar out of me.  I got home last night, with my new light’s battery all charged up ready to go and the rain started to come down.  I figured there was no need to go out in the rain at this time of the year.  Rain + cold weather = [...]

New lights and 2 a days

November 6th, 2008

Today just started off on the right foot.  Came into work about an hour early and 4 of us went out in search of some quality riding.  Gotta say, we found it.  It is pretty sweet that there is so much ridable terrain and already built trails right from the parking lot. I bought a [...]

Lunch time ride

November 5th, 2008

Gotta love the lunch time ride.  There is nothing like working at a spot, with MILES of trails leading off of the parking lot.  This is the type of place I have been looking to work at.  Tons of trails AND people who actually ride bikes instead of just talking about it.  Its about time [...]
