Time to move on - Thursday, March 20th 2008 2:02 PM
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...
Noah. Where's the ark? - Wednesday, March 19th 2008 7:15 AM
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...
Saturday ride - Saturday, March 15th 2008 7:09 PM
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...
A day off work.... - Wednesday, March 12th 2008 7:40 PM

An interesting evening - Tuesday, March 11th 2008 11:21 AM

Sunday Adventure - Sunday, March 9th 2008 2:07 PM
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...
Much Better.... - Friday, February 29th 2008 11:39 AM
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...
Bombed! - Thursday, February 28th 2008 11:21 AM
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...
Crud. - Saturday, February 23rd 2008 3:18 PM
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...
Cold, Windy, Snowing...rode the tandem anyway. - Monday, February 18th 2008 5:12 PM
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...
No Spinning Bike for Me Today! - Friday, February 8th 2008 11:12 AM
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...
Super Bowl Ride - Sunday, February 3rd 2008 1:35 PM
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...
Saturday Ride - Saturday, February 2nd 2008 5:30 PM
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...
First Tandem Ride in a while - Sunday, January 27th 2008 2:18 PM
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...
Finally! 26 days later. - Saturday, January 26th 2008 5:01 PM
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...
A beautiful weekend....but I didn't ride. - Monday, January 7th 2008 7:31 PM
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...
This was really the last one! - Sunday, December 30th 2007 5:28 PM
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...
Probably the last one this year - Friday, December 21st 2007 12:17 PM
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...
Two days in a row! - Wednesday, December 19th 2007 11:57 AM
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...
Finally! - Tuesday, December 18th 2007 12:54 PM
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...
Didn't have it in me....and girly shorts - Friday, November 30th 2007 11:54 AM
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...
Too many layers..... - Thursday, November 29th 2007 2:34 PM
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...
It was windy, but I'm glad I did it. - Wednesday, November 28th 2007 1:43 PM
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...
What I had for lunch.... - Tuesday, November 27th 2007 11:48 AM
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...
