Well, up until about 10pm last night, I’d have to say this past weekend was definitely one of the greatest.  That was all thrown out the door though when Lizzy started throwing up last night and constantly whining.  I thought at first she might have had just an upset stomach, but then she was throwing [...]

Just came of a near perfect weekend.  Temps were gorgeous all around every day (and actually getting even warmer today).  Decided to hit the road on Saturday and ride up Lefthand Canyon all the way up to Ward.  Last time I was out here, I had ridden the climb a whole bunch, but actually haven’t [...]

I guess I’m waaay behind but I’ve been uber busy these past few weeks.  So I’ll break the posts down into small chunks over the next few days.  Where did I leave off last time….. I had wrapped up the Pueblo XC and the big man, Brendan Housler was making his way to Boulder (his [...]

So since I got my new Garmin 800, also got myself set up on an account with Strava (follow me here).  So far it’s dang addictive.  You upload your rides and data, if someone else has ridden it you get a performance comparison against them.  You can score KOM points or personal best on sections [...]

What a great weekend.  I wouldn’t say it was ‘epic’ as that word is pretty much played out…. I’ll steal Brendan’s term and call it MEGA. Started off Saturday with a gorgeous morning ride with Lake at Eagle Trail.  We spun the dirt road to the trail head and then did a nice lil out [...]

Saturday, I hit the local throwdown Gateway ride.  I’ve not hit this ride up since January of 2009!  Been working on the fitness a bit and finally had a chance to roll with a good group.  If I was back home in NY, I’d having been lacing up the cleats for the spring Giros.  Alas, [...]

Still chugging along.  We got some snow this past thursday/friday, but things warmed up pretty good over the weekend and melted the snow away.  Made for some good riding this weekend, but crazy winds!  Not nearly as windy as it has been, but just happened to center my ride around the time that the blue [...]

As you can see below, weather was pretty dang amazing today. Tomorrow is looking sketchy, but hoping to get a a short ride in on the dirt. Headed out with the big cat Frank himself for a short bit, up and over 4 mile, then up Poormans and down Sunshine. I dropped Frank off and [...]

As the cold snap broke for us this past weekend, these past few days have been absolutely gorgeous.  Managed to sneak out for some short but efficient rides.  Tuesday was a great day and headed up high to Jamestown, and down, up and over Olde Stage then again up and over Lee Hill.  Couldn’t beat [...]

So things finally thawed out a bit this weekend and brought some nice warm temperatures to the front range (& hopefully will continue!)  Got the message from Sonya Looney that she wanted to go big and go up on the mountain bikes.  I had a similar plan so we synced up and headed up.  And [...]
