Out there doing it..

March 3rd, 2010

Yea, I’ve been busy. Not always riding, but busy either way.
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, on Saturday [...]

Silly potholes

March 3rd, 2010

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 [...]

Ohh Mike, say it ain’t so

February 22nd, 2010

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 been [...]

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 and [...]

2 workouts in 12 hours

February 9th, 2010

Well, trainer riding is in full effect right now.  Silly snow and weather.
Last night, nothing too exciting.  I’m in the process of getting my body built up and prepped for the next upcoming weeks.  So, it was just a simple, hour long ride, keeping my heart rate in zone 2.  Nothing to difficult, nothing to [...]

Quality weekend for things

February 8th, 2010

Well, it was a somewhat busy weekend this weekend.
Saturday, turned out to be a pretty normal Saturday. Got up, ate some food, did some things around the house and got out on the bike.  I only did a little over 2 hours as it was pretty darn cold out, hovering around 20-25 degrees at the [...]

More Pugsley issues

February 4th, 2010

I’m telling ya, that bike just does not want to be ridden.
Last night, before my ride, I went to prep the bike and make sure all is working.  There is nothing worse than getting all dresses up in full winter gear, so stand in my basement to work on a bike, sweating, right before a [...]

Finally able to ride

February 3rd, 2010

Someone, somewhere or something does not want me riding my Pugsley.  But I am going to fight it and keep on pedaling.
Monday night was my triumphant return to biking, and not a moment too soon.  I was starting to get a little antsy and cranky, plus my legs were getting twitchy, because of my 10 [...]

A drowning Fryeburg

January 27th, 2010

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 [...]

Last week’s disaster

January 26th, 2010

Well, there has been a lack of posting because there has been a lack of riding lately.  Totally not my fault.  Let me run over the series of events that have led me to this problem.
Last weekend was a great weekend for riding, just like I last reported.  Monday and Tuesday are my normal days [...]
