Training

Learning To Drive…

Here’s a picture I took very carefully.  You can just barely see the front of a white car over my shoulder about to pass me… see it there in the right of the photo.  It’s a student driver… as in a young teenager learning to drive.  Fortunately, they passed slowly and confidently.  The good news [...]


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!


This Kid Needs A White Jersey…

Well… the old man (that’s me) went out for another ride with his best bud (the new Best Young Rider).  I still haven’t made it out on my road bike.  In fact, I think it’s been almost four weeks.  Still, I would take a casual ride with my son any day over a training ride.  [...]


Day Dreaming…

I need to pedal.  My legs need it… my head needs it!


Is The Euro Mullet Still In Style?

Not to pick on my cycling pal but I have to ask this question. 
Is the Euro Mullet still in style?  
And if so… is there any difference between the Euro Mullet and the good old American Mullet?  I know a couple of years back Tom Boonen was sporting the special style.  He may still have a similar cut… [...]


Egg-topia…

In my last post, you saw my first attempt at the:
“Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge.” 
I look at it as an unsuccesful attempt rather than a failed attempt because the eggs I was supposed to pick up and get home uncracked were sold out.  As you may remember, Tom, my challenger and cycling friend in [...]


Shell Shocked!

A few posts back, I mentioned “Fresh Organic Eggs” being sold on one of the routes I ride often.  Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED!
It just so happens that a new cycling blogger buddy in England, “Easy Tom” rides past a farm that offers up eggs [...]


Whew… What A Climb!

I thought The Cycling Challenge would get a chuckle from this. Let’s call it…  Col de Bonsal: 
For a little history from my part of the world… the RR tracks you see are part of the old New Hope Valley Railway. 

  P.S. — The update on the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge” will come [...]


Preparing for the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge”

                
You may have read my posts at the beginning of the week about the “Fresh Organic Eggs” Stand I pass on one of my routes.  Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED!

ENTER: The worldwide web, another cycling enthusiast and the fact that there are [...]
