I got home from work and did the things that needed to be done before I got out on the bike and realized that I was going to get real soggy riding.  Here in New England, I think it has been raining now for about the past 25 days.  Every morning when I wake up, [...]

I was back on the bike again…and I actually remembered how to pedal the thing.  After talking to my coach for a little while, we thought a nice week of recovery was due, so this week is all about nice, easy pedaling.
I took the road bike out and just spun around for about 1.5 hours.  [...]

Lately, I have been wicked tired.  I am not sure if it is over training, or just burning the candle at both ends, but I am not liking it.  I am pretty tired during most of the day, then when it is time to ride the bike, the mind doesn’t want to ride, but the [...]

What can I say.  It has been an up and down weekend, that is for sure.
Friday night, I got home from work and had some work to do on some projects around the house.  I grabbed the pup and took her for a nice walk, but then it was all business from that point on.  [...]

What a good weekend for riding. The weather was nice on the days that I was scheduled to ride and I took full advantage of that.
The goal on Saturday was to take the mountain bike out for some hill climbing. Roger that. We have some hills in the area, so off I went. [...]

Yesterday was a planned out rest day before coach has me doing some tests these next 2 days to see how m progress is coming along.  I was never one to just sit on the couch and do nothing, ok that’s a lie, but the weather is finally nice enough that I can head out [...]

It was quite the nice weekend for riding here in wonderful New Hampshire.  On Saturday, temps topped out around 55 and the snow was melting quite nicely.  Unfortunately, the person I was meeting with to ride wanted to go early morning, so I was riding in 30 degree temps.  Ohh well, better than nothing.  I [...]

That pretty much describes my ride today, but more on that later.
First, the ups.  Got out during lunch today for a nice 1.5 hour ride.  We have the ability to use “Doug Time” (the owner) to do a little cycling, skiing, and things of the sort that start at the office once in a while.  [...]

Last night, I got to log some more trainer time and there is nothing good about that.  I did a bunch of spin ups, working on my cadence and put about an hour and a half.  I was pretty suprised that I felt pretty good on the bike, especially since this is the first time [...]

Ive been busy….and because of that, I’ve been tired.  I have been keeping up with the workouts given to me and have actually gotten outside on Wednesday night.  However, it was on my cross country skate skis, so still no pedaling outside.
This weekend is going to be a bust as well.  Between now and Sunday [...]
