First Time I’ve Watched Le Tour Straight Through
Image Credit: Image captured from the live stream broadcast. What a race. The Tour de France has been an annual tour since 1903. Plagued in the past with doping the tour is one helluva cycling event. Not an excuse for cheating, via doping, but I can see why some racers feel they need the edge

Back On The Bike – Health, Exercise, Fun
So I’m back on the bike. It’s been 2 years since I’ve seriously rode. I have to admit it wasn’t for any particular reason other than being lazy and life getting busy. What got me back in the cycling game was a talk with my primary doctor about my Type 2 Diabetes. My A1C isn’t

Nice Cool Ride In October
Today’s ride was a solid one. 12.9 miles good riding and a nice bite in the air. I definitely feel that all my cycling is making me stronger and healthier, which I need since I tend to eat quite a bit on the weekends. Especially at birthday parties. I’m still testing the Garmin Edge 520

Look What Came In The Mail Today!
I’m lucky enough that companies send me stuff to test out and review. The latest goody that I got to test and try out is the Garmin Edge 520 cycling computer and GPS. I just got it today and hooked it up. I took it out for a quick spin and so far it’s great.

Cycling Isn’t Golf, But It’s Definitely Expensive
Golf is known for being a very expensive sport to take on. Classes, clubs, membership fees, etc. Hence one of the reasons I haven’t taken up golf (not to mention, I suck at mini-golf, so why would I do “real golf?”). I’m starting to realize that cycling, especially road cycling can get close to golf
