I was thinking it on the weekend and lo and behold today was my first mountain bike ride of the year. I really like riding off road and thankfully, like snowboarding, the basic skills don’t seem to disappear even after some time off. Basic skills [...]
I managed to get in a couple road bike rides this weekend — this is good. Also managed to squander a full day while also consuming a substantial volume of bacon, pancakes, eggs, and other stuff that needn’t be consumed in substantial volumes — this [...]
I don’t get it. For the last month and a half I have basically been a slack-ass with my bike riding, and yet the last two rides have been faster than any earlier in the year. For me this is highly illogical, given that I [...]
Sucking is not riding my bikes enough. Today was a 90km excursion on the Saanich Peninsula. I suppose anyone who looks a this blog might be thinking, “oh god another Saanich road ride posting.” Well too bad, it’s my friggin blog I’ll do what I [...]
It’s the first weekend in March, 2010 and I believe numerous groundhogs (people actually) came out of their holes and saw their shadows for the first time today. Apparently many of the groundhogs felt it was wise and perhaps safer to enjoy their shadows in [...]
What an awesome day for 100km of rolling around on a bike. Sunny and warm after a bit of a cool morning. After some night road rides earlier in the week on my somewhat beastly winter bike, it felt great to be out in the [...]
I tend to get bored of doing some things over and over again. In a way this contradicts the fundamental notion of training for let’s say cycling since you kind of have to have a routine down. Within the realm of bike riding though, depending [...]
It’s Friday, hence it’s time for my weekend warrior activities to commence. This week has been a little bit busy with other things in life so not much running or anything else for that matter, but in true weekend warrior fashion I will try and [...]
Well what do you know, another Saanich road bike ride today. I check the weather forecasts pretty frequently before rides to try and get a sense of that I might be in for in terms of rain and wind. I tend not to put too [...]
I’m getting into my 2010 bike riding with a different mindset than in the the past few years. The most significant difference is the fact that I am now done my most recent round of education, which was a major impediment to a consistent season [...]
I’m not overly set on sticking to a day-by-day plan, but I think I told myself not to long ago that I would try and get out on a bike at least three days a week in the coming months. In saying this I’m really [...]
I seem to recall days like today when I was riding more regularly — character building days. Maybe not character building, but rather tolerance building in terms of my comfort level with rain, headwinds, etc. I was hoping today wouldn’t be this sort of ride, [...]
