So today was an amazing day for a ride. I decided to push myself and headed north of town up the ridge. I did some great hills and had some great downhills. I’m trying to get used to riding on the drop handle bars and not staying up on the hoods. It’s challenging as I…
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. Days like this make me want to investigate Zwift, the online community where you can continue to train while stationary. But like all good things it costs…
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…
Now I know why people ride early in the morning and later in the afternoon. Noon time sucks. It is hot as hell out there. I drank all of my 24 oz and my 12 oz water bottles by the time I got home and then chugged a propel. Only did 8 miles due to…
On vacation in Weston Vermont, gone cycling twice. Loving every minute. Done a 7 mile and 8.2 mile.
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…
So I’ve been back in the saddle for a little over a week and I’m loving every minute of it. But with riding everyday I’m noticing things on my 2001 GT ZR 4.0 that need adjusting so that I’m not in pain. The latest was my handle bar tape. I went out for a ride…
So Eric, from Cycle Sports in Doylestown, was talking about his Cyclo-Cross racing. This sport looks nuts, but totally fun. Essentially think of Mt biking, but with a road bike. Insane. Check out the Wikipedia entry on the sport. I think I might be willing to try it out one day. I haven’t been Mt…
Today, I went out on a training ride with Eric Cutter from Cycle Sports Doylestown and two other cyclists (Jim and Janice). We practiced riding in a group as well as how to deal with bumping and drafting. Thanks Eric for a great time. See you next Saturday at 7:45am at Cycle Sports!
People love showing the gear that they have. They also like talking about what gear they use on a regular basis. Here’s what I carry on all my rides: ICE laminated info card – Just in case USB key with ICE info on it as well Cell phone handlebar mount Camelbak Lobo hydration system Topeak…
