Once I got the PhilCast show completed I came up out of the 'recording lounge'/studio to see the sun was about to at least try to come out. Boom...go change and give it...
Finally, feeling good and exhausted about a ride. I waffled all morning about whether or not to go out in the ugly November grey. I finally decided to go when I felt it...
...tired of the cold wind ...tired of the snotty nose ...tired of dead legs into the cold wind ...tired of the howling sound in my head from the cold wind ...tired...
Basically it was the exact same ride as yesterday! The conditions were almost identical...only today I kept more of the wind out of my ears because I went with the full...
It was cold out on the road today, even if it was sunny. For some damn reason the howling wind was in my head the ENTIRE time. On the 13 miles down there was a loud...
Well, after recording, editing and posting my PhilCast show today I hit the yardwork in Tosa, after doing that all weekend at the lake place. I pulled old plants out...raked...
The sun being out made all the difference. Coldest air of the season today on the bike at 47 degrees when I started. That, coupled with a cold north/northwest wind would have...
Everything about Sunday is just a countdown to watching Brett return to Lambeau as a Viking. So as I watched the NFL countdown show this morning on ESPN, I rode the old...
What an ugly day for a ride. Still, with the first full-fingered gloves ride of the season under my belt today, I was glad I went. It was a bit chilly, but more than...
Went to the new fall colors after today's ride too! Fumbling through a few sections of the Sunday morning paper I notice there is more sun out than I expected Sunday...
I would say it is a pretty safe bet that today might have been the last bare arms and bare legs ride of the 2009 season, and it felt great. I had good legs today, even...
SORRY ABOUT THE EXTRA STEP. MY OTHER WEB SITE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO POST A LINK OR A PICTURE TODAY FOR SOME REASON! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE MONDAY OCT. 19TH PhilCast...
Sorry it has been a while riders....crap, this is NOT how I figured my cycling season would wind down. I get fired from a job I was at for over 14 years and I figure...
And yes, there is a story behind the 'by George' title. More about that in a bit. First a nice little story from near the start of my ride today. As I was approaching a...
There is no glory on days like these. How it didn't rain with all the black clouds on this ride I will never know. But it didn't. Cold at 48...wore a long-sleeved...
I started to get brain overload today, what with being in over my head on trying to understand all that is involved in doing the PhilCast podcast I want to begin doing...
I wasn't planning a ride today, but it happened. I started with my on-line work, then cut all the grass. At one point the clouds seemed to be getting thinner and I thought...
In its purest form, to me anyway, it's me, the bike and the road. The simplicity is the beauty of the sport. You could stop reading now and that says it all. Yet even...
I know....the saying goes 7 come 11, but in this case it represents a bike and the miles I ended up riding. The plan was to get out and enjoy a little sunshine and...
Just checking in here. Sorry, no riding lately. This unemployment thing is keep me way busy. Every day this week I thought I would get a ride in, I could not. I've had...

I was able to fit in a little 17 miles on the Elm Grove crit course today.I was very busy with business stuff. Same for the next few days, as riding takes a bit of a...
Got a good dose of that smell this morning on a country ride on the Klein out to Whitewater Lake marina. It sure is pretty in that area. As it turned out this was just a...
