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 [...]

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 [...]

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 toss [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Its been one week since my back has really started bothering me again.  I am keeping up with the few times a day stretching, the core workouts and everything that could possibly help when it comes to getting better.  Yet, some days, when I get out of bed, like this morning, it feels like I [...]

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 [...]
