Pyrenees 2010: The Route & The Training…
Excitement abounds! Our Chief Disorganizer (self-proclaimed) of the “2010 Lost Boys Tour of Europe V” emailed our route. Now, we can really start dreaming of all the climbs. Or, feel the pressure of how much training we’ll need to prepare for what is being called “Hammer Week”. It’ll be close to 400 miles not counting [...]
Great Beat for Climbing…
I know I’ve mentioned my “man cave” (cycling trainer/tv/dvd) set up in the garage. It’s my escape to pedal… especially when the weather is really crappy or I just feel like some tough simulated climbing. Anyway, I have the Global Ride DVD’s that are a good climbing exercise… and I know them so [...]
Giving MTB a try…
TRY… is the key word here. I’ve never really ridden a mountain bike on a big mountain. In fact, I don’t even have an appropriate mountain bike to do so. Fortunately, my very generous neighbor loaned me his extremely nice Trek to give it a go. Of course, after cranking it out on my road [...]
Cyclocross Fun…
After months of listening to my cycling buddy suggest I try cyclocross… that I would love cyclocross… that I just have to give cyclocross a try (peer pressure?)… I’ve finally had a taste of the experience. Another friend of mine loaned me his cyclocross bike while he was out of town. (Thanks [...]
Going Global In My Garage…
I say garage… but if you read one of my recent posts… I’ve dubbed our garage the “Man Cave”. Anyway, because of the winter weather and my quest to really get going on training… I needed a new inspiration for some serious spins on the trainer. Enter Global Ride! In that recent post about pedaling [...]
Spinning Away In My New Man Cave…
I now have my things (anything cycling related) set up in my new “man cave”… a.k.a. the garage. I guess it’s the room my wife always said I would have in the house. I think I’ll finally break down and hang my autographed George Hincapie poster and Lance Armstrong Poster. I’ve hesitated doing this because I always thought [...]
Ready To Ride…
Need I say more about the “Mac Attack”…
Now That’s A Cycling Family…
You could call this a serious set of wheels. I was driving along and saw this family pedaling/rolling down the sidewalk (I think the dad was doing most of the pedaling). I had to take a picture. This dad gets a ”way to go” nod from me just for hooking up this cycling train. It’s looks fun… and the [...]
Merry Christmas To All…
Here’s to your hearts and homes being full of happiness this holiday!
What’s In Your Cycling DVD Library?
As cyclists, we’ve seen a lot of them but how many do we own? I’m talking about cycling movies. In my last post, I was talking about ‘Breaking Away’ and its great soundtrack. Most of you have seen it but a couple have not. A few months back, I watched ’The Flying Scotsman’ with some cycling buddies… it was [...]
