I have too many pages that start that way. I’ve been keeping this all up to date. I’ve just been doing it in day one and medium instead of here. I’ll slowly bring those posts over to this blog to keep it as my “blog of record” 😀. When last we left you, I hadContinue reading “It’s been a while.”

Harvey Damp
The Hurricane known as Harvey put a bit of a slow down on my riding here lately. Thankfully we’re far enough up in central Texas that we didn’t get a ton of damage ourselves, just some fallen sheetrock due to water penetration on the house. Certainly nothing like what our friends and families in HoustonContinue reading “Harvey Damp”
Time to ride
If there was one thing in the world I could have more of, it would be time. I could live without more money (though that would always be nice), I have all the love I need thanks, but what I dont have, and can’t seem to ever get enough of, is time. I’m reasonably disciplinedContinue reading “Time to ride”
Heat
As the title says, the heat has a been a real factor here in the ATX lately. We’ve just had our 11th day over 100, and the number itself isn’t the most revealing, with heat indices over 110 most of those days. I’ve been training in the morning a bit to take a little ofContinue reading “Heat”
100 mile weeks and the pain that comes with them…
Two weeks ago I capped off my first 100 mile week this year. It may not seem huge to a lot of people who read this, but it was a really big personal mile stone for me, as I’ve struggled to improve my training over all. Earlier in the year I had an 80 mileContinue reading “100 mile weeks and the pain that comes with them…”

This will probably be my long ride for the week, I figured, “why not to the capital” 🌞🔥

What a difference a day (and two months) makes…
The weather was beautiful today, 83 degrees, and no wind. Two months ago I posted a ride on Strava that I named “easy 40 after work” in which 40 referred to 40 minutes. Many folks thought I meant 40 miles, and at the time, I didn’t know if I would ever complete a 40Continue reading “What a difference a day (and two months) makes…”
Weather Decision
I’ve been in the Army for 23 years, I’ve been a paratrooper for 22 of them. If I’ve learned anything from 22 years of jumping out of military aircraft, its that you don’t make the weather decision until the weather forces you to. I planned to knock out 30-ish miles yesterday, over a route thatContinue reading “Weather Decision”
RIP Nicky
I’ve followed this kid for years, since he came into AMA Superbike, and its particularly tragic to me that he was killed in an auto/bike collision.
