I’ve been dreaming of all the cool things to do and places to travel in this world. As EJ coaches football… I’m pretty much solo for the fall season, which gives me plenty of time for myself. I’ve been riding plenty and have a few (small) trips lined up… but really, I’m itching for my… Read More Dreaming of the next Adventure…
In a climate that’s good for riding all year long, and now that race season is done – this is the time for base miles. Not much structure in the workouts, just get out there and ride. Not too hard, not too easy… just in that sweet spot. I’ve rekindled my love of commuting… Read More Base Miles… easing into Winter
What a difference a year can make. And I didn’t even realize it until it almost past me. This last weekend, I headed up to Mammoth Lakes to visit friends, do a local long mountain bike ride and enjoy the bike park. As always, it was great fun… and this time it was… Read More Taking stock on improvements 🙂
“See, honey, she can do it…” My buddy and I were clearing a technical uphill. We noticed a guy at the top of the rise waiting for his wife/girlfriend while she was pushing her bike up the hill. Once we passed them, he said it: “See, honey, she can do it…” Gary turns to me… Read More Wanna get your lady to MTB? Tips…
Now that the big race which has captured my focus for the last year is over… and I’ve taken a few weeks off from structured workouts, I’m starting to get the itch again.

The last few days have been spent making sure that I had all the right gear. then, organizing and packing it up. Making sure that I had a fresh pair of socks and the right chamois… Read More Adventure awaits…
You know what I’m talking about. Those of us that when we were in our young, athletic 20’s that could eat, eat and eat some more. Our body fat was always enviable and we never really even thought about ‘dieting’. 20 or so years later… ummm… life is different. Now, we eat salad for lunch.… Read More Fat Ex-Athletes
I’ve been XC mountain bike racing. Not just showing up for a race and finishing the miles – but actually trying to push myself to do well. I’m really undecided if I like it. The Kenda Cup Series West dots all over Southern California. I’ve been able to ride places that I normally would never… Read More Racing
I always love Bike to Work Day… and today I got to help host the first San Diego TRAIL pit stop! 😀 There’s always a good amount of people that commute through the canyon … and every year – bike to work day is a roadie event. Well, no longer! I was maybe expecting 15-20… Read More Bike to Work Day! (2017)
I’ve not quite bounced back from vacation travel. This last week, my workouts have been a little more than lack-luster… I’ve still been dreaming about no alarm clock, warm Caribbean water and relaxing at the pool after diving. The workouts got cut short or didn’t quite hit the heart rate thresholds that I’ve targeted. But… Read More A good day on the bike.
