Grounded While It Rains Outside
I’m so frustrated. It’s raining outside. It’s coming down quite hard. So no more riding for me today. Only a quick 2 mile bike ride early this morning.

Stupid Rain – Did Hit A Personal Record Though
Today I got up early and just my luck it was raining. I still went out and set a personal record on the Swetland Climb of 55 seconds. I think it helped that my muscles were fresh due to the short 2 mile ride. Usually I’m wiped by the time I hit the last accent…

Off to Vermont. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

Riding Minus The Camelbak Was Great
Today was a hot day. A really hot day. But regardless of how hot it was I was determined to try riding without a Camelbak. I was talking with Eric at Cycle Sports and he suggested riding with two water bottles instead. His belief was that the Camelbak was slowing me down and was unnecessary…
