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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. What I got to see, for a little anyway.  I caught them before the crest of the hill to get my important King of [...]

What a day for riding. We ended up getting about an inch or so of snow the night before, so I was a tad concerned about my decision to ride the cross bike.  But, I really didn’t want to dig out the mtb, so cross it was.  I met up with JJ and A1 and [...]

Well, judging from my lack of posts, when I take some time off the bike, I apparently take some time off from writing on the blog. Ohh well. Let’s all get caught up to speed. The last few races of the year went pretty well for me. The second to last cross race was much [...]
