I'm moving to another blog hosting site. Nothing against this one, but the new one seems to have some better functionality that makes it easier to manage. You can find me...
No riding around here the last two days, and probably not today. Record floods have covered every route I could take with either flooded low water bridges or just water...
Details of this ride posted belatedly. I managed to crash Internet Explorer twice after nearly finishing the entry and gave up. For some reason, this time of...
Pam and I had the good fortune to have a day scheduled off work that was absolutely beautiful. Nothing but a lucky chance, but we enjoyed it. I hoped to get a tandem...
Last night, I attended the monthly meeting of the Springbike bicycle club...something I hardly ever do. Their program was pretty interesting...and well worth attending...
After yesterday's nearly 37 miles, I got up this morning and did a pretty intense cardio workout at the gym, then at noon headed out for my 10 mile lunch ride. As soon as I...
We finally got a decent day temperature wise, so after church, I headed out for my first ride in several days. I had found a GPS track on the internet that went down...
Temp at 57 degrees and a NW wind at 17 when I left at noon to ride my regular route. The trip out was a little rough due to the north wind, but all other directions were...
45 degrees, cloudy and windy at lunch time today. The forecasted high was mid 50's, so I had my bike in anticipation of doing something besides the spinning...
Man, this weather stinks! After another week of rain/sleet/ice, today was just a generally ugly day, with the temps hovering in the upper 30's and lots of grayness and...
I was off from work today for President's day, and Libby was out of school. By 1:00, she was bored, and I had accomplished my list, so I suggested we check the temps/wind...
After at least a month of hitting the gym and spinning bike at lunch, and working especially hard this week cardio wise, I decided that I was going to brave the weather and ride...
Every year, the local Springbike bicycle club sponsors a Super Bowl Ride on Super Bowl Sunday. This is the first time I've participated, and to be honest I would have been...
We got up and walked 5 miles this morning, then rested a few minutes and went out to lunch with the idea that I wanted to go for a ride immediately afterward. I got out of...
For the 2nd straight day, the weather cooperated...even to the extent that it got warm enough that Pam wanted to ride, so we loaded up the tandem for it's maiden voyage of 2008...
After nearly a month of nothing but 30 minute sessions on the spinning bike, I finally had a weekend day warm enough to get out on the bike! After lunch today, the temp...
Can you believe it? The first weekend in January, and Saturday saw a high of 66 degrees and Sunday was even warmer at 71. I didn't get on a bike at all. Part...
After several days (really weeks) of either really cruddy weather or Christmas activities with family, today seemed like an opportunity to get on the biike one last time this...
Yesterday morning was a foggy, gray, damp morning that didn't inspire a lot of confidence in riding, but I had taken the bike in to work based on the prior night's weather...
When I checked the temperature at about 11:00 today it was 50 degrees, with an 8 mph south wind. By noon, the wind may have been a little stronger, but it was still pretty...
After two solid weeks of rain, ice, snow, and general crud, I finally had a chance to get back on the bike today. With the temp at 50 degrees and windy at lunch time, I...
I worked out pretty hard on the EFX this morning, so I just didn't feel like I had much to offer on my ride out of town at lunch. Topping that off, the wind was from the...
I never know how to dress when the weather is like today. I looked at Weather.com shortly before noon today and it told me it was 42 degrees and sunny. Based on...
The forecast for today called for warm and windy, with a cold front coming through by mid-afternoon, so I brought the single to work and planned to get a 10 mile workout ride in...
One of the ways I've been trying to get some late season miles in is to bring my bike to work and ride at lunch. If I really try to push it, I have a 10 mile route with...
