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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

What a killer weekend for riding.  For the 3rd week of January, I couldn’t have asked for much better temps. On Friday, temps were supposed to be up near the 40s.  That is something I NEEDED to take advantage of.  So, I took a bit of time off from work and went out on a [...]

In case any of you ever wondered, this is exactly what I picture hell to look like.  The view from my trainer.  Never a good thing. Sorry about the horrible picture.  That is the best my phone could do and I currently cannot find my normal camera. Because of yesterday’s post, I needed to get [...]

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 [...]
