Oh June was a long, hard month. I think I had an easier time in February than I did in June. I definitely exercised more in February. But now we’re into July and getting a little more sun than rain (thank God!). And at last, my class is [...]
And the winner is….
I know we still have a day left, but it’s safe to say Heather has reigned victorious in out little bet. As it stands this evening, she is at 2093 miles and I am at a respectable 2036 miles. At least I broke 2000, something I wasn’t planning on or thinking about [...]
I just had a great session on the trainer….words I never thought I could say…but when the roads are icy with snow & ice & sleet storms coming every 2 to 3 days, it’s a matter of loving what you have, and not what you want.
My training has been derailed due to work: an expected [...]
Do you remember when Lance feigned weakness in the 2001 Tour de France…then turned around and gave Ullrich “the look” and kicked his ass?
I do. And I’m reminded of it when I read about Heather being sick, and off the bike due to shoulder and back issues. Hmmmm. Makes me think.
I’ve known Heather for about [...]
So I’m back from the north country where thanks to Mom, I was able to get a little bike riding in. I had three rides in 5 days, not too bad for me, with one big leg busting ride. I had a nifty elevation graph done and ready to go, and silly me forget to [...]
The ladies of SCAG did ride today, but the 1000 does not refer to the highest elevation point on said ride. No, that would be the number of miles I have now logged for the year 2008. Actually 1015.2, and yes, anyone who reads this blog knows we are counting and why. I’ll leave all [...]
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 [...]
It’s really not fair to taunt her because she has company this weekend, but it had to be done. Besides finding time to make wise ass signs, I installed the new Sigma 906 0n the Rocky Mountain. I can’t wait to go play in the woods soon. I have enjoyed the ability to ride outside [...]
From this:
To this:
in about six weeks.
Yesterday’s ride was just down to the library and the local bike shop. I had to purchase an important training tool for the Rocky Mountain. It was the only bike I did not have a computer for, and with the bet Karen and I have going, mileage is very important. [...]
