productive weekend

Originally, my son was supposed to come over this weekend, but I found out at the last minute he wasn’t going to be coming over, as he was gone all weekend on a scout trip.  We had planned to get a bunch of work done around the house, so now our schedules were clear to [...]

Iceman 2008

For me, Iceman was something I was looking forward to for two reason.  First, it’s Iceman!  A great weekend of run racing, and hanging out with friends and drinking.  But also, for me, it was the last event in a stretch of fall that was constant events or traveling.  From mid-September to early November, we [...]

200,000 Strong and Going

Roll Over
Originally uploaded by netgeek

Our main vehicle, the 2002 Jeep Liberty, rolled over to 200,000 this past week. It was kind of funny that it picked last Thursday to hit this mark.
Marty had decided that it was silly that we drove to every biking group ride that we did, so she decided to start [...]

Breezy October Ride

Earlier in the week, Marty and I chatted with Kristi and Eric about doing the Beat the Train ride on Saturday morning.  Last night while watching a movie at Mikes, we came to our senses.  (I’ve never done the Beat the Train ride, but that’s mostly because it starts on Saturday mornings at 6AM from [...]

September is over….FINALLY!

At some point early in the month, I was thinking about how glad I would be to see October, because that would mean that I survived the end of September.
The week leading up the Addison Oaks Race was a blur of last minute activity, but in the end, everything came off PERFECTLY.  The race was [...]

New seat for my meat

Look what Marty found the other day at Macomb Cycle for me.

A exact replacement saddle for the one that I wrecked on my SS.

Unlike my old one, this one has straight rails.

Heading out for a quick Sunday AM ride before the ick from Ike hit us. Rode to check out the new Mijier (opening Wednesday the 17th!) and the park they created next to the development. Rode the closed bridge and the old golf course bridges over the swollen Clinton River. [...]

Not Happening

I was really hoping to get out and ride this evening, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to be happening.  We’re are heading out the Addison Oaks in the morning for a quick meeting, and we’ve decided that unless it’s RAINING, we’ll be taking the bikes and trying to get at least a lap [...]

Wipeout at Lakeshore

Since I was working on the west side today, Marty and I brought out bikes and headed out to the Tree Farm for the Tuesday night ride.
We were there early, so we headed out of a quick mini-prelap, Marty and Kim took off with Justin and Tina, and Mike and I did 1/2 of the [...]

Cool Weather, Cool Ride

Marty and were able to get out of the house relatively early this morning (a bit before 10AM) and head out to Stony Creek for a ride.  The weather was beautiful, the trail was in great condition (after getting some much needed rain earlier this week)  We were able to ride the course for the [...]
