The Things I See…
Signing to her favorite tune. Picking his nose. A heated arguement. Talking on her cell phone. Popping a zit (yuck!) Gazing a her new (?) engagement ring. Mom’s spacing out and the her son is focused on texting. It’s a amazing what I see when I’m commuting to and from work on my bike. Stop lights… Read More The Things I See…
Itching to Race
I know that my body isn’t ready to race…it’s just now starting to get used to working out again after the holidays. But after this weekend – I’m already considering a race in a few weeks. This weekend EJ and I went to Vail Lake to play – and everyone was ‘practicing’ the downhill runs… Read More Itching to Race
Getting fit again – sucks
The holidays are over. There are pounds to be shed. And even though I know in my head that getting my fitness back will not be ‘comfortable’… it still sucks. I know that it’s completely unreasonable to think that I’ll wake up and suddenly be my fit self again…. but it doesn’t keep me from… Read More Getting fit again – sucks
2015 Strava Review
Love that the data elves at Strava were able to put together a nice little recap to my biking in 2015! My proudest: 75,000+ feet climbed 14 Queen of the Mountains Kind of makes me want to get out there, ride harder and surpass my stats in 2016! http://2015.strava.com/video/RwzYG51 Did the Strava elves bring you… Read More 2015 Strava Review
Rainy Days = No Training
*Sigh!* It’s raining here in San Diego, which means no training – no matter how much I want to. Yes, yes, yes… plenty of you may be able to get out there and train throughout the year. I love seeing your pictures of riding in the snow. But it’s been getting <50F in the morning… Read More Rainy Days = No Training
Training is easier without Work
It’s soooo much easier to get more time in the saddle if I’m not working… funny how that works – but I’m sure I’m not the only one! This Thanksgiving weekend was perfect for getting saddle time. EJ and I headed out to Sedona for some great mountain biking. It’s certainly one of our favorite… Read More Training is easier without Work
Sedona Riding
At a bit of altitude (5000ft) and much more technical than my normal rides – Sedona is the perfect place to push my limits. In truth, I was really happy when we were sitting around the fire pit, talking to guys from the Vail, CO area who race regularly – and even they admitted that… Read More Sedona Riding
Sedona!
After a 7 hours drive from San Diego, we’re here! Lovely Sedona… where we’ll be riding and hiking (and eating) all weekend. Couldn’t get in a log ride yesterday – but we certainly were able to get in at least a short ride!! More to come!
Zip, Zil, Nada
This week = NO biking what-so-ever. I guess I gotta expect some weeks like this; especially when I travel. (I really don’t count any ‘miles’ logged on the hotel stationary bike). I tried hard at the beginning of the week – but San Diego was rainy. It’s not that we’re wimps (well, maybe) when it… Read More Zip, Zil, Nada
