Finally. Finally, my wife Sandy came up wth the time to ride her Bianchi for the first time this summer today! We aired the tires and headed out on Labor Day Weekend...
Nice bounce-back ride for me today, doing a solid longer effort with the time available to me thanks to Brewers and Packers on the air this afternoon, with very little...
I headed out with good intentions this morning, to do an easy Three Bridges 35 miles in the sun. It never happened, and there were many reasons why in what can only be...
A little rushed today because I had to cram in a semi-annual visit to the dentist this morning for a cleaning. But I wanted to head out for a ride on my new tires and...
It was the best title I could come up with for today, a day I not only had arm warmers on, but had to drag out a wind vest in addition to that as well. It was about 64...
Honestly, the weather is crazy. Tonight we may hit a record low, dipping to around 40. Today, 60's, but at least the sun came out. We headed back from the lake house...
Wow. When I kicked the idea around back in January as a possible goal for this season I wasn't too sure that it was realistic. As I accomplished the goal today I put my...
I got a nice little surprise today at the lake house as I got ready to cut that grass. You can see and read about it by going HERE. The link is to the cycling page of...
Wow. A sunny Sunday morning with NO wind out in the country. This is a morning made for riding, but it won't happen for me today. I'll be pushing a mower instead. It IS...
....no rides planned for this weekend, unlike last Saturday's big 62-mile solo adventure. Off to the Madison farmers' market today, then yardwork at the lake Sunday. I...
I had to pick up my International Autos test drive car of the day today this morning so I hadn't even planned on a ride of any kind at all. (FYI, it's a to-die-for BMW...
I did the hills of the Minooka Park Loop today off the New Berlin Trail. Lots of rolling hills after going five-six miles flat and right into the wind heading out today....
Well, I guess I am going to count today as my birthday miles ride, since I will not be able to ride 51 miles on Wed. Aug. 26th. I decided to go for 50 miles today, but...
The sun was out and it was nice and hot outside, just the way I like it. The crew from PBS showed up right on time and we got right to work shooting my day on a bike....
Well, this time it is not raining and my basement isn't flooded like last time we tried this back in June. So this morning a crew from PBS will be arriving to shadow my...
Man, it doesn't get much better than this. Sunshine and 86 degrees on a Thursday when the Brewers are playing an afternoon game. Perfect. I'm no big fan of the ball and...
...but since it is so nice outside, I did manage a short 15-miles by doing the Elm Grove loop (including the new pond lap turnaround) for three laps. I had to make a...
Screwed up day today... About four miles in I popped a rear spoke. The wheel was out of true bad too, but with the brake wide open I was able to slowly wobble my way...
Storms Sunday afternoon. Storms Sunday evening. Storms early Monday morning. More storms possible this afternoon. But when the car switch deal I have tend to was moved...
FYI, PBS is scheduled to shadow me on my ride on this coming Friday the 14th, weather allowing. Of course in June, the weather didn't allow, as I was drying out...
FYI...I DID eat that chocolate-covered bacon on a stick. Good. Very rich, but pretty good. I am keeping a running blog of State Fair pictures on my work blog, so check...
Oh wow. Shout out to brother in broadcasting and athletics, Greg "Gumba" Matzek my former producer. Greg is one of the best athletes I know, and if I ever have...
Each year at the end of the season I look back and reflect on the rides of the year, ranking my top five rides, rides that just stood out for some reason. Today's effort...
It felt good to be back on the Madone today, finally. I DO NOT like NOT feeling like a cyclist, and that is exactly what was happening as I rested the battered bod...
