Odds and ends

I haven’t had much time a lately to be able to post to my blog as frequently as I’d like since work is still getting me down and the extra stress and workload have been taking their toll. It has been tough enough to keep to my exercise plan and join in on weekend group rides [...]

Why do I ride?

It’s funny. I have thought about this many times and have even written a word or two about it in various cycling forums. I have been giving the question a great deal more thought over the last few days and felt I needed to put my thoughts down on “paper” so to speak. I even wear [...]

Odds and Ends

As I have some time to relax this BC Day weekend I thought it would be a good opportunity to update my blog with a new post. Since I have a few different things to write about, Odds and Ends seemed an appropriate title.

Though this year’s Seattle to Portland ride is now behind me I do [...]

Idle chatter

Today I have been having a relaxing day while attempting to catch up on some email, cycling news and doing some research for a 70km ride I will be participating in tomorrow. I am bit obsessive that way, I like to research a route or ride before I participate. I guess I like to know where [...]
