Outdoor Addict

During the course of the day, I fine myself look at my rss feeds for 22 different websites.  Its almost like getting an email in the inbox.  YEAH!!!!  Something to take me away from what is going on at work is always a good thing.  Some of them are gadget type sites, but most of [...]

Its been one week since my back has really started bothering me again.  I am keeping up with the few times a day stretching, the core workouts and everything that could possibly help when it comes to getting better.  Yet, some days, when I get out of bed, like this morning, it feels like I [...]

Well, its almost like spring time is here.  But I have lived in New England long enough to know not to get excited.  It is the last week of January, and March is usually the “snowiest” month of the year.  So, no need to get all excited yet.
With the 40 degree temps, also came the [...]

Here are a few images from last weekend when I was part of the  TWAF Holiday Edition Gravel Grinder.

The always tricky backwards view

Views of Shawnee Peak.

Another backwards shot.

Nothing like a killer view as we left the office for our morning ride:

I don’t get to see many sunrises because of my desire to stay in bed as late as possible, but from what I was told, this was a nice one in comparrison to what we have seen lately.  The picture doesn’t quite [...]

I lied.  There as no racing for me this weekend.  But I do have a very good excuse for it.
You see, ever since Kelly has taken her new job up at Great Glen, she has been forced to work weekends.  After all, that is when the majority of events are taking place and visitors are [...]

I will expand on this more when I am not typing it out on my blackberry, but what a difference a few years make.
The last time I was here, 2 years ago, I stayed in one. This year, I have been walking and walking and walking etc. I have seen every booth about [...]

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 [...]
