The Night Off…
I have ridden a bike or a trainer for 5 consecutive nights…. tonight I sit here tipping a hard cider relaxing in the knowledge I am too lazy to make it six.
Whats going on…. lets see. My improved diet and riding are starting to show results. I have lost about 8 pounds in two weeks [...]
Another sunny day
Day three on the pugsley complete. I am convinced I need to change my routes or modify my single speed gearing… Back in the day…. the day that had me 20 pounds lighter I used to used a 34×17 gear ratio on my Bridgestone XO-1.

I did find a blog entry of a guy [...]
First Outdoor Ride This Year
I am lazy.
I spent most of the morning staring at the bike-trainer-torture-contraption in my bedroom hoping the gates of hell would open and swallow it before I decided to get on it today. Sometime around the crack of noon I decided to check the weather. What do you know Southeastern Idaho emerged from deep freeze [...]
Times are changing
Lately I have been using this blog as a place to throw up content I find on the web. I have not been using it as a journal documenting my interests and activities as I did at the inception of the website. I stopped in large part because I had been going through a tough [...]
