Cyn was up in the Uintas hiking Kings Peak with the boys from Thursday to late Saturday which meant that I was a single dad with Annapurna during that time. Whoa! That single parent stuff can be stressful. Props to all the single parents out there making it happen, and to Cyn who with grace […]
Le Tour kicked off today and Valverde took the Yellow Jersey after basically stepping to the plate and signaling to the fence before the race began. Good to see a guy deliver in such fashion. One of the things I hope for on this years tour is a “clean” tour. Although disappointed that Levi or […]
Going Fast, I love it. Cynthia says that my driving is too fast. I know this. Here are two examples of going very fast (three if you count the picture): 1. I’ve never owned a bike computer. I do now and last Saturday’s ride on Wolf Creek Pass was a fun testing ride for it. […]
Ride: Wolf Creek Pass Number: 1st time this season – 2008 Conditions: Sunny, great cycling weather, slight tail wind with climb. General Feeling: Knee felt good, lungs and legs were hurting.

When you register for an event, it’s customary to know if you’re “in” or not within a week or so. Given technology and the many database and excel programs, you might even squeeze the process of determining whose “in” to a few hours, or a day at most. If you’re really antsy and have to […]
Summer is right around the corner and aside from the many things that this annual event brings the one thing I am most looking forward to is the opportunity to ride my bike to work. Wait a sec, I work in the office which is next to the kitchen, across from the bedroom, around the […]
…continued from Part 2, this is the final part of the race recap… Leg 5 – Alpine to Jackson Hole Thanks to John’s wife I had that Coke and it felt so good. I had heard the carbonation and sugar was a good alternative to energy drinks when in a long race. John had to […]
