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]
102 Feet
It’s not really that impressive… I know… Nonetheless, I have to find success and pride in anything and everything these days so this get’s elevated much higher than it ought to! The following GPS track is of my cycling the other day. It was an 18 mile ride which is in the “long” class for… [Read More]
Fat
I’ve been reading FatCyclist.com lately. Fatty (his title) has a bunch of really great thoughts and one that I really, really like is the reason for his blog. As I understand it, he started posting his weight for accountability purposes – to himself and his readers. I think many of the problem that Fatty cites are… [Read More]
Presents!
Alright, I admit it… I still have the mind of a child. I started riding my bike again, as previously blogged about, and suddenly my attention is on nothing but cycling. I remember that happening was I was ten years old – go to a Star Wars movie and every waking moment was spent as… [Read More]
Bicycle Fit
Now that I am getting serious about cycling, some time spent tuning my bike to fit me was in order. I have seriously considered upgrading to a new bike but prices are kinda crazy so I’m going to run what I brung. The first thing that was immediately apparent after riding my bike for 30+ minutes… [Read More]
