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, I got all the riding in outside that I could, but now it looks like it is all trainerville until, well, I’m not sure, but for a while. Tomorrow is the big day. Pre-Op stuff at noon, then under the knife at 1. The surgery should only last between an hour to 2 hours…..that [...]

Well, things haven’t gotten much better around here lately. I went to the Doctor on Friday for annual physical, and while i Was there, told him to poke around on the arm to see what he thinks. After a little of the “ok, do this, lift that, push on this” type stuff, and a little [...]

Wow, it seems as if this thing still works. Who would have thunk it? Sure, I still want to post to this blog, but there have been times I have been busy, VERY busy. First and foremost, training. That always takes first priority when I have free time. Things have been going just ok on [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Last night was my lactate threshold testing night.  Fun stuff, not really, but very important. My plan for the evening was get the rollers rolling for an easy 10 minutes as a nice warm up.  Then, 30 minutes, all out effort.  10 minutes in, reset the heart rate monitor at 10 minutes as I can [...]
