My cycling really took a hit over the winter. I had a really tough time getting out and riding. I spent lots of hours on the trainer but that doesn’t seem to count. Even when good weather arrived, I seemed to struggle. I wanted to ride, I did ride, but my mileage and time in… [Read More]
Riding Red Rock
Gallup, NM is marketing itself as New Mexico’s Adventure Tourism Capital. In my opinion, they are doing a swell job! This weekend I rode the several of the trails defined in the Gallup Waypoints trail guide. I had previously ridden several of the trails near the Hilso trailhead. Quaking Aspen, Y2K, Lone Pine, and several… [Read More]
Review: Nashbar Duro Pro Road Tire
I’ve been running Continental Gatorskin tires on my road bicycle for the last 1000 miles or so. It was time for new – especially after the last goat head season. I had a couple flats due to goat heads puncturing the sidewall. During the last repair, I removed about half a dozen thorns from the… [Read More]
El Malpais MTB Ride
A local Meetup.com MTB group scheduled a mountain bike ride in the El Malpais area last weekend and I decided to tag along. WikiPedia says this about the area: “The lava flows, cinder cones, and other volcanic features of El Malpais are part of the Zuni-Bandera volcanic field, the second largest volcanic field in the… [Read More]
2013 Cycling Report
2013 is gone and I thought a bit of analysis of my cycling for the year was in order. It was an up and down year – mostly because I place too much pressure on myself. If I wasn’t riding, I was feeling bad. If I was riding, I was feeling bad that I wasn’t… [Read More]

Elephant Butte Loop Ride
Whilst doing some camping at the Elephant Butte Lake State Park, I did a bit of riding. One really enjoyable ride was a twenty five mile loop. I think I had two cars pass me (same direction) and saw a total of about six – maybe it was twice that many, I dunno. The point… [Read More]
Review: Dog Dazer II Deterrent
Allow me to first say, I like dogs – nearly all dogs. I’ve owned a dog most of life. I am currently without but I think of getting one regularly – I miss the companionship. With that out of the way, I DO NOT like being barked at while riding bike (or walking or any… [Read More]
Metric Century
I’ve come to learn that the “Century”, a 100 mile ride, is a magical accomplishment among cyclists. Ok, maybe not “magical” but certainly an accomplishment. An “easier” form is a “Metric Century” which is 100 kilometers or 62 miles. Due to scheduling problems, I haven’t been able to participate in any organized road rides. However;… [Read More]
I am King
I am KING OF THE MOUNTAIN! YAY ME! Ok, ok… It is only on Strava and a segment that I created. Nonetheless, my name is in lights! Strava Sichler Heights I’ll enjoy it while it is there – probably won’t stay for a long with a huge one second lead! 🙂
