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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m not sure what exactly happened to me, but I’ve got a case of SS fever lately.
About 3 months ago, I finally got my Vassago Jabber Wocky frame and built it up. I parked my squisy geared bike, and figured I’d give my new bike some quality time….and I havent’ swung my leg over the [...]
After doing some household tasks this evening (Marty did bills and I put cadance sensors on the SS bikes) we headed out for a ride to the beach. Till I got a flat after 2 1/2 miles. Since we were so close to home, there wasn’t much time left for riding, and we still had [...]
Despite some early rain, Marty and I headed out and did some long rail trail and backroad riding.
We got up sort of early, and checked out the weather. There was a small system moving through, but it looked weak, and nothing coming behind it. So we tossed the bikes onto the Jeep, and headed to [...]
Those bikes never came in the house the whole weekend. From when we loaded them on Friday till when we pulled them down Sunday afternoon, they were out for riding the whole time.
Friday, we headed out to PLRA for a lap with Mike, Kim and The Sherp. Our riding has been minimal the past few [...]
Sunday, Marty and I decided to bike west on Metro Parkway to Dodge Park, and see if we could find our way to the tunnel under M59 in Utica.
We explored some of the bandit trails through the park. Some were nice, some were obviously not often used and very overgrown. I know that there are [...]
More details later, but quickie update.
Saturday was 12 Hours of Addison. I decided to do 6 hours solo. Got 6 laps in, and just didn’t feel like doing more. One of the hardest things about solo for me so far is the mental aspect of pushing yourself to get back out and ride the same [...]
30 days before the Lumberjack100, and I really am not ready for this race yet.
I’m finally getting out and getting some miles onto my legs, and I’ve mad a commitment to try to ride as much as I can over the next month, even it’s just out the front door and putting 20+ miles on [...]
