As I walked out to the bike to clean and lube the chain pre-ride today, I still wasn't sure where I would go, but I had an idea. I wanted to do something a little...
No, nothing terrible happened on my Monday morning ride today. But the Grim Reaper DID play a role in it. I couldn't wait to get out, so I left early with the temp at...
No ride on Sunday. I was too busy using different muscles, the kind you use doing yard work...lots of it. There's a lot of grass to cut out at our lake place...
I'm not much of a ball and stick fan. But I DO love my Brewers when they play an afternoon game on WTMJ Radio. See, that means I have about an hour's worth of prep to do...
Interesting ride today. Sun but very cool with a cold wind. I almost didn't go. But I did, and while warming up the first few miles I was thinking to myself about how...
***Reminder***see the post before this one for a link to some video from Saturday's WCA race at my Whitnall Park crit training course. That's where I went this afternoon...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM5vfxkoukw Thanks to John Wilke of Bikeforums.net, the above link is a little action from the race Saturday. I wish I could have been there,...
Well, this was supposed to have been a nice Saturday at the bike races, but it's not working out that way for me today. First of all, the weather is anything but nice,...
It was one of those borderline days. Would I ride or not? It was windy, cloudy and mild...65 at 10:30. I had it in my head that perhaps the sun would burn through and...
Sunshine and 60 with only a light wind at 10:15 a.m. Yes, I headed out today WANTING to enjoy a nice ride, unlike the last time I was on the bike when I ...
Well let it never be said that I don't follow my own advice, because I'm always preaching the value of rest and recovery and listening to your body. After back-to-back...
I think it's the nice weather that brings out the best in me. With the temps in the 70's with sunshine and light wind, who could resist going out again today?...
Well, today just goes to show you that you never really know what a ride may bring you, because today, a day that was going to be a rainy day off, turned into the...
Where to begin really? I wasn't going to ride today, and really wasn't ready to go when I did. I kept hemming and hawing over it. I looked out the window at the...
I really do think that today marked a turning point. I really do believe that today was a very good sign that I have finally re-discovered myself...the cyclist...
If you happened to have been blinded by a bright light around mid-day Wednesday in the Whitnall Park area, not to worry. That was just the sun reflecting off my white...
I did a lap at my Whitnall Crit course today in the wind, just to check out the course where the WCA racers will be doing battle a week from this Saturday. My bud...
For the first time in over a week I was back at it today and it has been too long. I was a little cool at the start, what with it being only 43 degrees. But for the...
I KNEW IT! I could just tell that after that pothole over a week ago my bike was not right. I finally took it in to Rainbow Jersey this afternoon to be checked...
No riding at all this week... No time. No weather. No trainer... promised myself I wouldn't go back to that at this point of the year. The bike still needs to be looked...
I'm not riding this weekend, other duty calls. But I'm thinking about the spring season already. The first race of the season I will be attending is one that is held...
Opening Day baseball at Miller Park. I have to get there to work after the game, a short show and right back out. That's as much interest as I have in that...
Back-to-back rides outside for the first time this year. I took the same route despite the snow, just to see if there was any melting progress. Still some...
I'll take it...a real RIDE report today. 44 and sunny. Brewers on the air this afternoon, meaning I have an extra hour or so to invest in a ride...or I can wait a...
