    284 TSS this week…

    I think that’s ok for now. That’s a few rides, one on the trainer, the rest in the heat, and I feel every bit of it right now (but in a good way). Training Peaks this morning says “based on your form, your body may need extra rest today”, no argument from me lady. I

    This blog

    I just spent about an hour or so reorganizing the way my blog publishes, and the links to content from the homepage. I had to learn a little more about how WordPress uses categories and tags in order to do it, but i think its a lot cleaner now. I think for the time being

  • Ive been thinking lately about the need to get my riding back on track, if for no other reason than I’m turning into a large mammal. As significant as that is, it’s really secondary to my bigger concern, it’s mostly for my mental health. I’ve definitely felt the impact of not riding in my state

  • More than Zero

    I finally got back on the bike after the hip freak out a few weeks ago. I absolutely felt the weight of not riding for so long, but as the title says, it was more than zero. I took advantage of the chill training to sort my power meter and sync my new HRM. I

  • Four Wheels good…Two Wheels Better

    I spent the weekend working on my truck. I originally intended to just do the brake rotors and pads out of expediency, but I found at least two frozen pistons in the drivers caliper, so now I’m doing the full monty. The pad in the picture shows the frozen piston problem. Since those pistons don’t

  • Power and Weight

    That title might lead you to believe that this will be some post about how much difference my newly lost weight has made in my riding, but that would be untrue, as to the best of my knowledge, I’ve not lost an ounce off my fat ass post surgery. I’ve been doing physical therapy and

  • Lost one of my KOMs

    I’ve never cared before, but post surgery, I’m recovering very slowly, and I know it will be a long while before I’m that fast again. ☹️. But, I find it strangely motivating. I guess that’s why people get so worked up about it huh?

    Surgery day

    I’ve been putting this off for months, actually for over a year, but I’ve finally gotten it scheduled and today is the day. It’s not a big procedure, but the injury itself and subsequent secondary injuries have had a huge impact on my core strength, to the point of having basically zero core specific training
