All of you that think you are the only one that suffers from depression, the blues, the blaahs, laziness, lack of motivation, etc…, pay attention. Today was my day (again…). I had some errands to run early this morning in Albuquerque. My errands didn’t go so great so, while I was in the big city,… [Read More]
Review: Terry Saddle
I reported here that I had purchased a Liberator Y Terry saddle for my mountain bike. The Terry saddle installed without any hassles. My existing seat post and seat clamp worked perfectly. My saddle bag clamp also fit without any hassle. For the first few miles, my behind kept asking question: “What in the world is this hard,… [Read More]
Mind Control
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]
Mountainbiking Video
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]
Rio Salado River
Ready for some low level sight-seeing?!?! The following is a video of the Rio Salado river in New Mexico. I know, it isn’t much of a river. However; you have to remember that this is the desert. Most of the time, there is no visible water. We’ve had a lot of afternoon thunderstorms lately so… [Read More]
