Nowhere near the 500km goal of the Festive 500, but I didn’t plan on it. For me, this was a reminder to get out and ride every day (that I could). A little sloppy this morning, but 40+ degrees was a lot nicer than the 4 degree wind-chill on Tuesday. Had a great time, putContinue reading ““Festive 500” – final day”

Quadruple threat: 24 in 6
24 miles with 3 fellow Spokesmen at 5:45am. 12 degrees, but 4 to 6 degrees with the West wind-chill. Dark and chilly, but a nice pace and great company.

Great forecast… for me to poop on!
A slow leak in my rear tire this morning along with a glance at the rain outside at 5:00am convinced me to skip the outdoor ride and head to the WAC to ride the SPIN bike. LAME. I don’t mind riding inside once in a while in crappy weather, in fact I teach SPIN everyContinue reading “Great forecast… for me to poop on!”
