Enforced hiatus-update

I’m taking a few days off the bike while I travel, and I know I’ll be stronger and more completely recovered when I get back, but right now I REALLY miss my bike…

Despite the wind, it’s a beautiful evening to ride #betteroutside #rideyourbike #atxlife #roadieaf

I’m going to be on a couple day hiatus from bike due to work travel, so my intent is to knock back a few miles each day this week before I leave. I’m planning on walking/jogging over a 5 mile course adjacent to my hotel each evening to keep the heart pumping and the improvementContinue reading “Despite the wind, it’s a beautiful evening to ride #betteroutside #rideyourbike #atxlife #roadieaf”

Fishing with your son is about as good as life gets

We spent the weekend on the lake, just fishing, swimming, and having a good cookout. There isn’t much more to say, it was as it always is, fantastic.

I didn’t see Elvis, but I did see Frank, and that’s almost the same thing.

I hit quite a few PRs yesterday, which was unexpected, I really left to do an easy spin, but I did the first 5 miles into a blistering 20 kt headwind, which I guess properly warmed my legs up, after that I just kept picking it up.

I totalled right at 40 miles and it was beautiful. There were several stand out areas that I want to highlight, but the city isContinue reading “Tour De Trinity”

Busy day, I had to just squeeze in 12 racing the sun

I hope you’re all watching Paris-Roubaix right now…

The spring classics are my favorite races of the year, and of course, Paris-Roubaix is the most popular of those. So much drama this year with VanAvermat looking to keep his run alive, Tommke’s last season, and indeed last professional road race, and so many hungry young racers. In the US its hard to get,Continue reading “I hope you’re all watching Paris-Roubaix right now…”

Sometimes you just need a pick-me-up

This is a marvelous new trail – and that yellow bar tape is sexier than Barry Manilow

This is on the “Urban Ninja” loop, it’s not that great of a picture, but I needed a good reason to take a break at the top of the hill. Photos are always a noble enough diversion.
