81 degrees humidity 72 percent heat index 86 degrees Today we all 3 signed up for the womans sportscare biathlon. Tessa and I will be doing both the bike and walk/run, Jenay will only be doing the 5K. She has never been able to learn how to ride a bike. I don't know why and in the long run it really...
67 degrees and raining not a down pour but sprinkling then rain then sprinkling, well you get the picture. I just know that it was cool enough for a bike ride and I like riding in the rain. The pace is much slower to be safe and of course I have still had spills from the bike because the pavement is...
I've had Lysander the Bike, kind of, more or less, one year. I fell in love with Minneapolis from the seat of this bike. The city of cars is different from the city of bikes, even when they're the same place. I've gotten a few scars from embarrassing falls. I've ridden 1460+ miles. I haven't lost a...
My commuter bike finally arrived, the Giant Womens Trans Send EX w. It's a sexy little thing with mod curves and nice components. And *much* better geometry for my short commutes around town than my old mountain bike. Plus it makes me feel sorta European, as I can now ride my bike to work in a...
75 degrees humidity 54 percent Heat index 78 degrees My sister Shari and I went to the track and walk/jogged together, she does this all the time so she did 1 1/4 mile to my 1 mile and that was slow for her. It took me 14 minutes tonight because the sun would not go behind the clouds and I was...
Saturday did not start out as smoothly as we had hoped. Richard had to run to work for a couple hours in the morning while I did some last minute shopping. Then we commenced the bike tune-ups that we put off all week. Richard opted to keep his mid-sized road tires rather than mess with changing to...
We rented bikes in Old Town and rode them around the city. Turns out, bikes are a great way to get around Prague (except for the cobblestones), and we got to see parts of the city that we'd never seen before on foot or by public transport. Here's Leon with his bike and his Lance Armstrong face....
So pretty much, nothing really happened the past 3 days except for two things. 1. I went out to eat with Kristie, Joy, and Darlene at Macaroni Grill, then went and hung out at her house along with Matt, Nick, and Keanan. 2. I went to climb the Pike's Peak Incline with Darlene and Joy. Everything in...
i don't usually write about really personal stuff here unless i need to let off some steam. and today i do! so this is whats going on: my dad told my mom sunday NIGHT that he was leaving the next morning to bike to maine. he gave her absolutely no warning that he was doing this. not only did he not...
Just went to Goodwill and purchased two backpacks for the weekend bike/camp trip Richard and I are planning. Surprisingly we don’t have any real backpacks at the moment. We have some drawstring bags but they’re not sturdy enough to hold a tent for a 25+ mile bike ride. My parents still have my...
Yahh, so the Monday after the Independence Day Weekend started really early for me, but late for some lol. I woke up around 10 that morning and called Jon to confirm our plans for that day, which was racquetball at Fort Carson at noon. Around 11:30 to a quarter till, I started biking up to his house...
I made it two months without buying gas!!! And now Im going to get going on doing it again... This wasn't a one shot deal. I can't promise what I'll be doing in the winter and I can't promise I'll ride always in the rain, but I can promise that spending two months commuting by bike almost every day...
Is there a more perfect way to travel than being behind the wheel of your new Ford truck? No, of course not. But sometimes you want to see the world from a different view and get some exercise and fresh air in at the same time. For you, St. Louis this summer has just the ticket. For the fortieth...
Well the day after the 4th of July, surprisingly, I already had my weekend planned out for me. That Saturday morning, I biked up to Mav's place to drive to the park near Anthony and Amanda's house near Jet Wing. We were supposed to meet up with everyone at the park at noon, which we did, but...
I didn't really get up to do anything till like noon. Around 1 or 2, I finally got my ass up to go to the Old Town Bike Shop in downtown on Tejon to go fix up the gear cable on my bike. It was pretty sweet to look at the different types of bike that they had. I learned a lot from looking around at...
This day was our enduro-challenge vacation day (first of two as it turned out). We started out with plans for an innocent trail ride. We rented a couple mountain bikes and set off towards the "Rundle Trail". This trail--the most adventurous of the local trails according to guides and the bike...
Today I tried out a whole bunch of new things. I started the day by waking up really early to bike up a quarters way through the city. It surprised me how fast it took me to get to Anthony's place from my house. With just a regular pace, it took me less than 30 minutes to get from the end of South...
\i'm \typing this from the \fairmont chateau in \banff, \canada. \the keyboards on these canadian laptops have the \ key where the shift key ought to be leading to all-lower-case blogging. \sorry. \on our first day here we went on a redonkulous (or simply \'redonk\') 6 mile hike. \for those of your...
Nothing really happened at all till later that night. Before that, all my ass did was bike everywhere, from Target to Border's to 24 Hour Fitness. I thought I was gonna head to Fort Carson's gym that night, but yahh, that plan for me tanked. So I chilled at the house watching movies feeling tired as...
Well, I kinda decided not to bike to the mall yesterday. I really thought deep about it. But I didn't think I was ready for it. Imma guess coming from my place, that's close to 15-20 miles down and back. I think that's too much for now. After I went to the mall for a little with Joy and Christine, I...
