No ride this Monday, and I'll explain why. In fact, this will probably be a light week for riding anyway with lots of other things going on. As for today, heck, it look...
I wonder if anyone went out riding this morning? I know a lot of area group rides head out on this day, but from where I sit right now, no thanks. I haven't seen wind...
Real nice weather for a ride, but no saddle time today in favor of doing some girly stuff. It's for the best anyway. The shape my body is in right now I have no business...
A non-riding post today because there is no ride to talk about, only the pain of my slowly-rotting body. I mean honestly, last night I had some sort of sore lower...
I ventured out west today, taking the 30-mile loop to Minooka Dog Park via the New Berlin trail. The first part, although flat on that path, still has a slight false...
Sun out. Sore tendon. Gotta ride. What to do? Spin. I stayed out of the big ring. I stayed in the saddle. I spun easy for 35 miles, just wanting to soak up some sun and...
A big thanks to Jerry Pearce at Rainbow Jersey in Shorewood for once again sponsoring my Tour de France updates on WTMJ Radio, and also providing the prizes for the...
If you entered, be listening Monday at 4:40-ish as we close the book on this year's tour and pick the top three winners in the annual contest sponsored by Rainbow Jersey...
The end of another Tour de France has come, and in my opinion it was the most fun to watch yet. There are a couple of traditions I follow on this day. I awake to watch...
Just checking in here... Rain this morning meant I stayed indoors and watched Le Tour while I worked, with no ride in the cards. What a tour it has been. Big TT...
The start of the Cat 4/5 race Monday morning in Whitnall Park. Today was the annual Super Week invasion of my Botanical Crit course. But unlike years past, due to...
That's one of the many old photos that was on display at Festa Italiana, and when I saw it I knew it would be the perfect lead picture for my blog today. Indeed, I...
(Dateline--Sheboygan) That's right, Sheboygan. Now, you may be wondering why a guy would drive 130 miles round-trip to go ride a bike for only 26 miles. Well, I'll...
After taking in today's TdF stage while working, I headed out into the sun and wind for a quick, short 26 miles ride, once again limited by the clock and the later...
Nothing special to note here. This was just a business-like, basic Loomis loop today after watching the TdF this morning. It rained overnight, but the clouds broke and...
Busy morning. As I was working, watching le Tour, doing laundry, taking the garbage out, and a handful of other chores, I happened to get an instant message from the...
If the weather looks OK at all on the second weekend of July next year, I am going to take my bike along to the annual trek to Iola for the old car show. Driving around...
Spoiler alert.... Wow, what a TTT today at le Tour! I had to watch every minute, then digest what had happened and write it up for this afternoon's TdF segment...
After watching a long stage of Le Tour that didn't end until 11:00 I didn't have much time to ride today. My body was hurting after yesterday afternoon's climbing...
No ghetto bike today. No 4th of July ribbon on the bike. No old shoes and shorts. This was back to the real deal, taking my Madone out for the first time on country...
Happy 4th! First of all, the weather was never nice as was forecast. So I decided to put off a serious morning ride in favor of just going into Palmyra to watch some...
