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 [...]

A busy, but heartbreaking weekend

May 12th, 2008

This weekend certainly kept me busy. On Friday, because of rain, I canned the recovery ride because of what looked to be like rain rolling in.  So I went home quickly and took the dog for our little run.  I can do without the hour recovery, but I can’t deal with a dog that has [...]

Sore Hands

February 1st, 2008

Today, I got myself a case of the sore hands.  Let me explain.  Because Michelin makes the worlds most badass tires, we sponsor a lot of support vehicles.  One of the groups we support is the Mavic Neutral Support.  Because they have 134 wheels in their fleet, they need to put 134 tires on those [...]

I’ve been lazy

January 7th, 2008

That about says it all.  I have been pretty lazy for the past…ohh while, I guess would be the appropriate amount of time.  The holidays went well, I put on a bunch of pounds from my laziness and eating, then back home to continue things.  Now my mind set is different and its time to [...]

We are not joggers…..

October 13th, 2007

We are not joggers.  That is Pearl Izumi’s ad campaign for their running gear.  Tonight I have decided that I am not a jogger….or a runner or anything of the sort.  I have decided that at this point in time, I am dropping the half marathon training plan for now.  The main reason….simple, there is [...]

Back to the road bike

October 4th, 2007

Last night was a cross training session so I grabbed the road bike and went out.  After about 10 minutes on the bike, I was sick of riding.  No idea why.  For years, I chose the road bike over the mountain bike but I think with all the mountain bike training I did for the [...]

Don’t worry, I am still alive….

August 22nd, 2007

WOW, it has been quite some time since I made a post and there are some good reasons for that.  First, lets talk about the 24 hour race. It was one heck of a race.  Starting at noon with a 1k LeMans start (which meant I had to run 1k around a pond in bike [...]

Busy busy busy

June 19th, 2007

I have been quite busy lately and I must say that is sucks.  I went back home to the parents place for Father’s day just leaving Wednesday returning yesterday.  It was nice to see the family.  The only bad thing about it was not being able to ride the bike.  Ohh well, what can ya [...]
