After my White Mesa ride over the weekend, I decided to take Labor Day off – no labor for me. It felt great. I committed to riding 400 miles in September on one of the popular cycling forums so I figured that I had just better shoot for 20 miles every day. However; a short… [Read More]
White Mesa Ride
White Mesa is a crazy-spectacular ride!! WhooHoo!! White Mesa is a treasure! It is a bike trail (or trails, if you prefer) on (mostly) BLM land that covers some spectacular scenery. It is northwest of Albuquerque, NM and getting there is about a 90 minute drive for me (and there are about 5 miles of dirt… [Read More]
103 Miles!
Happy Labor Day! I’m busting at the seams today! Last week, I rode a total of one hundred and three miles!!! Call it a Century-Week ride! Ha! About the only thing I did any different than previous weeks (89 and 85 miles, respectively) was to cut out the rest days. I guess that makes sense… [Read More]
Thanks NMDOT!
Thank you State of New Mexico Department of Transportation – Highway Department! Also known as NMDOT. I try to stay off highways when I am cycling. However; that is not the easiest thing to do in this area. There is one main highway (NM 314) that is the north-south artery. Yup, I end up on… [Read More]
28 Miles
I’m sure your well aware… I’m cycling for fitness, fun, and to reclaim my life. Know what?? I am making progress!! I’m certainly having fun and getting into the ‘competition with self’ aspect. I may even ride in a local “challenge” event to see what that feels like… more on that later. The thing that… [Read More]

It seems the more things I try, the more I appreciate. A lot of things look easy – or at least our mind tricks us into thinking they should be easy. However; that is usually not the way it works. Putting together a “good” home video fits perfectly in this category for me. I figured… [Read More]
Lance’s Predicament
Like everyone, I’ve read of what the USADA has done to Lance Armstrong. Of course, they don’t have the power that they think they have but that is a different topic. I think it is disgusting. No, not Lance. The USADA (U.S. Anti-Doping Agency). I don’t know what Lance did or didn’t do. Frankly, I… [Read More]
Bosque Ride
This past weekend was a great one for cycling! I had two of my best rides ever. Saturday is posted here. Sunday, I decided that I needed to change things up. My local routes are getting a bit boring and Sunday offered some time to try something new. I drove my bike (as in, transported… [Read More]
Meandering
This past Saturday, around mid-morning, I took a nice 22.3 mile ride (or, what I thought was 22.3 miles). It was sort of a meandering ride north up thru Los Lunas and then back south towards home with a big loop at the south end to bump up the mileage. It was 70 degrees when I… [Read More]
Advocacy
It’s interesting to me that there are people that want to regulate every possible activity, no matter what it is. I see this predominantly in firearms and aviation but I am now starting to see it in cycling as well. There have been several unfortunate accidents in general aviation this summer. This has gotten a… [Read More]
