This afternoon turned out pretty well… good for a road bike ride, which ended up being my first Saanich Peninsula loop of the year. Today also marked the first ride of the year wearing shorts instead of the usual winter stuff. While this may seem [...]
With my new raisin toast hero status (bestowed upon me by Michelle – I have no idea what it means), I’ve been seeking out stupendous, no miraculous, no super-amazing things to do. Clearly, I had no choice but to ride my bike 90km on this [...]
Given my lack of group riding during the last year, I am, not surprisingly, feeling a bit squirrelly riding my bike in groups. To help combat the squirrel, I headed out on another group ride this morning (that’s number two this week), this time a [...]
Ok, I’m supposed to be doing a 320km ride from Seattle to Portland on July 17. Based on today’s road ride of about 130km, I’m left thinking that 320km is going to be a damn long day in the saddle. More long rides on the [...]
Hee hee, I went for a road bike ride and it was sort of fast – well fast is kind of subjective I guess. 91km in 2h55 minutes including traffic lights etc. is fast by my standards right now. Maybe it was the slightly nicer [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
