I have to admit, posts here have been few and far between. Honestly, I haven’t had much to talk about. Up until now, training has been mostly the same of doing a few intervals, doing some long ride, blah blah, yada, yada, nothing too interesting to read about. I haven’t had the [...]

Woa, it has been quite some time.  I guess that can be a good sign.  I have been super busy with all kinds of good things.  Things I am REALLY excited about.
First, let’s talk about the training.  Coach has me doing some really great workouts.  Things that last 2-3 hours and not drilling me into [...]

Boy, where to start talking about this past week of riding.  Tuesday had me outside pedaling the Pugsley around while Wednesday had me inside on the trainer.
Then this weekend hit.  The original plan was for a 4 hour road ride keeping the heart rate below 138 bpm.  When I woke up in the morning, the [...]

The last few days have kept me busy both on the bike and off.
On the bike, I put together a few different Pugsley rides.  Gotta say, that bike is pretty much fun to ride.  There isn’t much that stops it.  Unless you are talking about some ice with just a hair of snow over it.  [...]

What can I say, another night out on the Pugsley in the snow.  Yesterday, we got about an inch or so of fresh snow, but that wasn’t enough to hold me back, so off I went.  Did the same loop as the night before, but I must say, I need to work on a different [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 little [...]

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 around [...]

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 [...]
