Tim Johnson a la Boston Globe

There’s a nice article in the Globe on Tim Johnson today.  If you actually get the paper, there are some decent photos, but if your resorting to online, the scoop can be found here. 

Giving credit where credit is due

I mentioned in my last post how I changed out my old tires for the Nokian Extremes I bought myself. I cut my time almost in half from the first tire to the second. The second one was the rear tire, no less, and I was expecting a huge hassle in getting it off and [...]

Cue the Rocky theme

In this corner, weighing in at…
I won’t bore you with the details, but needless to say I am not even close to my fighting weight. Let me just clarify this right now, that losing weight is NOT a new year’s resolution for me. The queen of procrastination does not do resolutions, for any reason. I’m [...]

Too crazy to believe!

You will have to read it to believe it. It’s right along the lines of this post. I mean, really, who the hell runs over a child’s helmet?! The <I am at a loss for words on what to call the individual> backed up to run it over. I hope they reported it to the [...]

He hasn’t gotten off the bike since Christmas, so I think it’s a hit. He even watches TV while sitting on the bike with his helmet on. Just wait until the snow melts!  –Karen

Doing It Indoors

Doing It IndoorsOriginally uploaded by sipclip&go
It’s been 5 days since I set up my bike on the trainer and by golly, I’ve spun 3 of the 5. Riding indoors is a switch–I find myself wanting an attachment for my handlebars to store the remote control. I am so lame. Also, you don’t get the natural [...]

Where I parked my bike today (aka ride photos)

You would think that the local bike shop would shovel out their bike rack.

I’m just happy they have one at the library.

I’m better now

I decided to run some errands on the bike today. I went to one of the local bike shops to finish some Christmas shopping. I can’t tell you what I got because someone who reads this blog might be able to figure it out. It was around 25 degrees (Fahrenheit), and I felt fine. I [...]
