As I sit here bored on the plane, I have to wonder what this year’s Interbike will be like. This year’s edition will be much different than past years. Last year, I took the year off as I switched jobs and the 3 years before that I attended the show with Michelin. My job with [...]

Seems like the death of fun is coming right up.  That’s right.  My training has taken a turn for the worse and I have begun running….GASP!!!!! Ok, it isn’t really that bad, but let’s say I do not have the body composition of running.  I’m just too big boned.  Yea, big boned, that’s what it [...]

Things here have been pretty status quo since the 24 hours of Pat’s Peak  race.  On the riding end, I am just keeping the fitness up with a bunch of riding, including another 6.5 hour, 4 notch ride.  I had planned on a 10 hour ride, but my back limited how long I could actually [...]

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 camera out either, [...]

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 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 [...]

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 that [...]
