Snow Good for Pedaling…
The sledding was a blast. This picture displays the Joneses in Triple Decker form making for a much faster ride.
But consider this: The first significant snow of the winter… a new cyclocross bike… and the urge to pedal.
You already know the result. I was out the door as quickly as I could layer on the [...]
Came across another ROOTR…
You read right. It’s a ROOTR (as in Roto). We all have them and maybe as cyclists we tend to think about them a little more than others.
You know how your mind can wander like the long road ahead. So a ROOTR is a Random Observation On The Road. Sometimes… it jumps out at [...]
What’s in a name?
We all like to name things. Our children and our pets are a given.
But there are plenty of people who name their cars… their boats and of course their bikes. I think it’s safe to say a majority of cyclists personify their machines.
I bring this up because I was out on my new -unnamed- [...]
Well, That’s A First…
What a day! Anytime you have full sun and 60* in January and you can hit the open road with your cycling buddies… it deserves a… “What a day!”
It was actually the first time I’ve been out on the open road here in NC in a while. The schedule’s been so busy and the [...]

Yep, I finally have one thanks to a GREAT deal I found at Performance Bike. How great? It would make you sick to know that you missed out on it.
Back to my ride. It [...]
My Son Has The Need To Pedal…
It’s happened again. Despite the long explanation on why his back tire just doesn’t fit my CycleOps trainer, my 6 year old son insisted I hook up his bike. He’s been very interested in my training lately… asking me questions about my bikes and every now and then opening the door of the man cave [...]
How many is too many?
So my wife says to me, “How about for the new year… you clean out your cycling box and get rid of some of those water bottles?” “But… but I need those”, I said in an almost confident voice. Then I did a quick count. I have 17 water bottles. I thought to myself… that’s [...]
Chilly Man Cave… No Fan Required!
I’ve talked many times before about the “man cave” and my cycling trainer setup. Three new CTS Climbing DVD’s as well as Global Rides DVD’s continue to be the focus of my training. Our temps in the morning have been in the teens to low twenties and in most cases wind chill has [...]
