Besides that, the robins have returned, the daffodils are coming up, and my ride today was in this:
Viewing the photo in a larger size will make the snow a bit more visible. I have the diamondback thawing out in the kitchen as I type up this post. It looks like this:
I better go take care [...]
It is a beautiful day today, yet I chose to ride indoors again. I walked out onto my patio at 10am and felt all 33 degrees and decided no–I did not want blue toes again. I still need to get those chemical toe warmers and booties, but I haven’t yet, so I chose the snug warmth [...]
I could have slept in this morning, but got up early so I could ride. This weekend is return guide training at Zoar, one of my other jobs. Pedaling was actually a great way to get the blood flowing before it came to a complete stop once we got on the water. Yes, we do [...]
Ahhh, Spring. At last we can head outside on our bikes to pedal off some off that cabin fever we’ve endured all winter. But even the good things in life are not without their challenges. In the Northeast, a cruel, cold winter has left roads broken and damaged. Those of us out on our road [...]
Philip and I did our Wednesday night ride, just the two of us. We tried to get people to join us, but we didn’t have any takers. Granted, I didn’t email Meg until 10 last night. Not exactly a lot of notice. We rode for 2 hours, leaving at 5pm, and still made it back [...]
As most of you know, Karen and I have a bet for who has the most mileage for 2008. We are keeping track of all our rides at bikejournal.com. I logged in earlier this evening and found something interesting under breaking news, or maybe it was just news. Another bikejournal member, Drummerboy49, is doing a [...]
Ok, I only posted one photo, but I did get more. Riding in a group, three including me, I had to hang off the end to grab a few shots then sprint to catch up. Great workout! Somehow I ended up at the front at the beginning of the ride, but someone pedaled up [...]
The Dolce Elite at a Dairy Farm, Hadley, MAo
The heavens aligned in such a way to allow me the time and good weather to ride outdoors at last. I did mountain bike in Asheville last January, but this ride is in the road category.
I started off with a mechancial issue that almost prompted me to [...]
I am happy to report that I was closer to the top than last time when Philip came to check on me. We actually added another leg to the route we did on 3/12, so more ride time. It’s interesting to see how different areas are starting to show signs of spring. I know it’s [...]
Math has never been a strength of mine, yet I’ve come to accept its place in my world. Most recently, I’ve begun to view my efforts at exercise and food consumption as a mathematical experience.
I didn’t start thinking this way until after the birth of my little one, when weight seemed to cling to me [...]
