Took Campy out on her first real mountain bike ride. I never took her because I always thought her stride was too short. She’s not super tall and was always just concerned. So for her ride, we just took it easy, but still managed about 7 miles…can’t complain about that. I’d say she looks pretty [...]

Well, now that my little shoulder debacle is over, it is time to get started on the 2011 season.  At this time, my mind is going a mile a minute with things I want to get accomplished and figured out for the season: what races I want, do I want to ride the same bike, [...]

Well, let’s get updated with the shoulder happenings. The last I spoke of it, I was out spankin’ the competition at the 12 Hours of Bradbury. Since then, I took some time off, time to heal. I thought, if I don’t use it to do anything, it should speed up the recovery time. After about [...]

This past weekend, mother nature thought she was going to be cruel and try to stick around a bit longer.  While at lower elevation it wasn’t a big deal, but at high elevations, it has been playing havoc with things. Because of the snow, [...]

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 [...]

Well, it seems like time flies by when you are having fun, or something like that.  At least that is the way it seems when you are riding in 40+ degree temps in February in New England. While the mid-Atlantic states have been getting pounded pretty hard with snow, here in New Hampshire, it has [...]

This weekend was filled with some good riding, and some quality time spent at home. First, we had off of work on Friday.  It was a nice treat to have a 3 day weekend.  Kelly had off on the same day, so we took advantage of it, walked a dog a bunch, did some shopping [...]
