Oof another hard Lifetime ride. As much as I complain about how hard these rides are I know in the back of my mind that they’re making me better. Not sure if we went harder because Mindy wasn’t around to keep us in check or I’m just feeling it more…

Another day, another dollar. Still taking things nice and easy while the legs continue to recover. Certainly feeling a little better today. Hoping I’ll be recovered enough for a spin with the Lifetime gang come Friday. New bike fund: $61.38 (+$0.00)332 vehicles @ 8.3 per mile, 2.3 per minute, Speeds:…
And we’re right back into the grind. Gotta get some more miles in before having the next week off. Still feeling super stiff and sore, but thankfully I have the sense to take it easy. New bike fund: $61.38 (+$0.00)420 vehicles @ 10.5 per mile, 2.6 per minute, Speeds: 36.5…
After yesterday’s disaster of an ending to an epic double century, I can’t believe that I went out and rode today. I’d been tossing around the idea of a recovery ride, but after being sick I took a “wait and see” attitude. Funny thing is I woke up feeling great,…

We use the analogy, sometimes you’re the hammer and other times the nail. Today I was the plywood getting smashed with a hammer and a nail driven into each leg. More details later after I can think. Oof, to say this ride was tough would be an understatement. On Friday…
Nice little shakeout ride to make sure the legs are still working and Shadow is ready to rock. Most fun I’ve had on a bike in a long time. An absolute blast of a ride. Also served as an excuse to log five more miles to take me over 1k…
A three day weekend means an extra day of riding, right? I’m pretty proud of myself for getting up and out of bed this morning to do this ride. I hadn’t committed to it in any way other than to myself. After Friday’s tough Lifetime ride and feeling awful for…
If I’m being entirely honest, in hind sight, I shouldn’t have gone out today. I just wasn’t really feeling it from the start all the way until Long Beach. We didn’t get to my in-laws house until 10:30 and I wasn’t in bed until an hour later. I didn’t set…
What is it with guys named “Tony” and their ability to get two flats on a single ride? I’d only heard about Tony Green, but witnessed it first hand this morning with Abe Froman {Enve} Chicago sausage King. Then we had two newbies join from the gym and at some…
