Just launched the Pick the Podium contest for this year's Tour de France. CLICK HERE FOR ENTRY INFO Thanks to the sponsor of my daily 4:40-ish Tour de...
In addition to writing a little something here after each ride, I have, for the past eight years, also kept an actual paper training log. I know, old school. Paper and a...
Whew. Finally a day of rest and catching up and re-charging the cycling batteries. Actually, I think it will be at least two days of this for me. I need it after last...
Ha! Six whopping miles today. Well, at least I can say I rode eight days in a row now. I wasn't planning on a ride today, but the sun was still out (pre-rain moving in)...
...and on the seventh day, he rode, again... The plan was to attempt to head west into Waukesha and bump into the final stage of the Tour of America's Dairyland taking...
We were at the Downer race for a time Sat. evening, watching the last laps of the men's master's 1-2-3 race and it was pretty good. No breaks off the front into the...
What a morning. We sat on the porch glancing at the paper, trying to figure out which yard would get our attention this afternoon, the city or the lake, because both...
Just a reminder that there is action this afternoon and this evening on the East Side, as Downer comes to life with a stage of the Tour of America's Dairyland. Sunday...
Well, Day Five in the heat and I kinda hit the wall today. I rode the old Loomis route and 26 miles was it for me today. Tired in general. So the news here is that they...
90 degrees. 43 miles. I could stop there, but of course there is so much more to it that I won't. It has been quite a stretch of riding this week. The combination of...
About 17 hours after finishing Tuessday's hot 50 miles I was back out under the sun at 9:00 a.m. today. Having gone to the south for two days in a row, I decided to head...
Finally, a nice hot day. It felt great to be out there, and I milked it for every minute and mile I could, cranking out 50 miles in a nice long 3:15 hour ride today...
For the first time this year, today I felt the heat coming up from the pavement and it was wonderful. I started out at 75 degrees and ended up with an 85-degree sunny...
Just back from my first-ever road trip with my Porsche 911. 242 flawless miles. Lots of bugs and a little drizzle in Adams-Friendship Sunday morning meant I had to spend...
Morning, You'll notice I didn't say GOOD morning, because it isn't. Like many of you I was awake pretty much all night long through the storms. At about 1:00 a.m. in...
Rain held off until later, and when the hazy sun tried poking through the clouds it started to bug me. I hadn't planned on a ride today. In fact, I was on the way home...
Some habits are hard to break. Hazy sun, but mostly cloudy with winds blowing in some rain forecast for the afternoon. I should have just stayed focused on other...
Back on the bike on a nice, sunny and warm Monday. Work be damned, I was going to soak up some sun today. I worked too hard outside Saturday and Sunday, both days when I...
Here is a link to the race on the course I often ride: CLICK HERE Monday, July 20th the date for racing all day long on my Botanical Crit course... Reminder: Cycling...
Wow, I never saw this coming today. I went to bed after the forecast said mostly cloudy and cooler than normal with rain moving in later on Friday. Mostly cloudy did not...
This was not how things were supposed to be today. Not even close... A Thursday afternoon 1:05 first-pitch Brewers game means one thing to me: An hour less of a radio...
Well, not actually, but I just wanted to use that old saying since I DID get that haircut today. But the forecasters booted it. Mostly cloudy was actually mostly...
It's all a matter of timing I guess. Monday was a wet morning. After work, the sun was out and I saw a couple of roadies go past my house at about 6:45 p.m. It dawned...
For some time now, Sunday June 7th has been circled on my calendar. It's the day for the Miller Lite Ride for the Arts. It's the one big organized ride I do slow with my...
No riding planned today because, ironically, it is going to rain. I say ironically because it was one year ago today that the highlight of my riding season began, a...
