Home for a the next few days, this place is buried under a few feet of snow, and the people are buried under few layers of clothes. Bridget had her surgery and is recovering well, though she’ll probably have to stay behind tomorrow when I take Lake sledding. Tired and sore, hopefully she’ll swing through [...]

This past Sunday, I hit up Heil Ranch with Kat Statman his blog is here, original plans were to do the Heil/Hall double. It was friggin cold, I think my car had 13 degrees and a light dusting of snow had fallen. We hit the trails and climbed up Wild Turkey and down Picture Rock. [...]

Today was a rough one. I was up early and headed over to Lafayette for the Quaker Oatmeal Breakfast festival. I figured it would be a great and fun way to fuel up for the ride. Fueling up was the fun part. 200 odd toppings for oatmeal, plus oatmeal pancakes! Can’t beat that (even with [...]

Last day here in NY. Nothing like heading out for a nice ride on the frozen tundra. Short but sweet, managed to get in a workout and stay off the trainer. I did manage to fall once on the icy roads though and crack my elbow pretty good. Hurt like a mother. It was solid [...]

Today, was a short quick spin. After 2 good days of work, it was time to test the legs on the 3rd day and put in some tempo work. 3 efforts at 8 minutes long, with 4 minutes of rest, and a bonus tempo effort of 6 minutes down the dirt road (I like to [...]

Today again, like last night was an exceptionally warm day. Most if not all the snow is gone (which also means flooded basements everywhere). With the warm weather comes the crazy winds. Constant around 20mph, with gusts up to 50!! Needless to say there was some crazy gusts that pushed you across the road. I [...]

Saturday Evening 50 degrees in NY. What else is there to do but strap on the lights and head out the door for a quick 2 hour ride? Catching the Sunset That was 18 inches of snow on Wed 50 and windy today, fueling up for a long one.

My Article on Power Training comparison of Mt. Bikers vs. Road is posted up over on Bike Radar!! Short and sweet, but loads of snow here in Upstate NY. Nothing to do but bust out the xc ski’s and have some fun. Yesterday was solo over at Glenwood with Lizzy. It’s amazing how calm and [...]

Man, let’s see 35+ hours in my car, 34.9 of them having been spent dealing with snow or blowing snow of some sort and the last 5 hours of the trip spent in Buffalo, NY. The danger zone of all danger zones for winter weather. I made it, no trips in the ditch, but can’t [...]

The past few days have been quite cold. There’s still a bit of snow on the ground and in my never-ending quest to stay completely off the trainer, I’ve strapped on the xc ski’s a few times and even hit the gym. This week is a rest week for me so it pretty much works [...]
