I spend most of last weekend on the cape, Friday and Saturday to be exact with an early departure Sunday AM. I managed to sneak a short 45 minute solo ride in Friday afternoon before the skies opened and unleashed a brief rainstorm. Saturday was ideal–my hostess (whom I’ll affectionately refer to as “Jan Ullrich” [...]
Today I came home to a message the machine stating the tune up on the road bike was complete, I could pick her up anytime. I’m working a 7 day stretch, just completed day #4, so I’ll swing by the bike shop after work to pick up the Dolce Elite. With my road bike ready to [...]
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 [...]
Acceptable Transport
It bothers some people that I would transport my bike this way. I guess that is part of truck culture–whatever you need to bring with you–you can just chuck it into the back and take off. But then again, does anyone really like using a bike rack? Most of them are difficult to use, [...]
My mother is staying with me–I had been away the last two nights on business and Mom came all the way from Boston to take care of my son. I was released early from my meeting in Albany due to the snow and I have the rare opportunity to hang out with Mom. So I [...]
This would be the view from the cottage porch. The mountain you see in the background is Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands.

The Judy TT Fork

Right now, co-blogger Heather is prancing on some beach in St. John (those of you who know Heather–come and picture her prance with me now. OK now let’s compose ourselves). I have so many things I could write here to poke fun and she isn’t even on the continent to defend herself. I’ll spare us [...]
Well I’m back from Asheville, and despite traveling 800 miles south in search of snowless trails, guess what? Snow! I don’t ride in the stuff at home in Massachusetts, but by Job I wasn’t going to let it ruin my fun time, and thankfully my new friend and gracious tour guide had the same spunky [...]
I’m about ready to venture out to mountain bike Bent Creek–yet the town is on high alert for a massive snowstorm. Yes, 1-3 inches is forcast. I’ll post again on the ride itself!!
