Ugly Saturday morning - Saturday, August 1st 2009 7:45 AM
  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...

I feel beat up on the bike - Wednesday, July 29th 2009 12:16 PM
  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...
Spinner - Tuesday, July 28th 2009 1:01 PM
  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...

Fueled by crepes - Sunday, July 26th 2009 4:45 PM

Tough week to get a ride in - Wednesday, July 22nd 2009 12:13 PM

"PIE RIDE 2009" - Saturday, July 18th 2009 8:29 PM
  (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...
The deer and the racers - Thursday, July 16th 2009 12:44 PM
  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...
Business-like - Wednesday, July 15th 2009 12:59 PM

Short recovery ride - Monday, July 6th 2009 12:28 PM

Hardest effort of the season today - Sunday, July 5th 2009 1:29 PM
