You know that crazy thing I did last weekend? The one I posted last Saturday? About riding my bicycle 44 miles? I did it again today. But I didn’t do it alone. For some reason I let my wife talk me into doing it again. The ride time was 3:20. That’s only 5 minutes longer [...]

Proof of Insanity
Posted in Athletics, Bicycle, Self Discovery, tagged bicycle, distance, health, training on 2010/07/17 | 3 Comments »
Today I found out I’m insane. I just rode my bike 44.15 miles. Not to raise money for a good cause. Not because I was being paid. Not even because my wife made me. I did it because it was fun. Yep, fun. Proof of my insanity. Just getting ready to ride. It was still [...]

On May 22nd, some of Amy’s TNT group decided to head up to Victoria to do a pre ride of the bicycle part of the triathlon. I tagged along as support. It was interesting taking the car on the ferry to Canada. I’ve been on the Washington State Ferries many times. But the Blackball Ferry [...]

May 21st was Bike to Work Day! I was talking about riding my bicycle to work for some time and decided that bike to work day would be the perfect day to actually do it. Who cares if it’s been raining non stop for weeks! Friday morning, I got all my gear together and talked [...]

On May 4th, I was working out with my trainer, Cathy, when I mentioned that one of my goals was to ride my bike to training some day. I said someday because I was thinking about the hills between Redmond and Bellevue and how much work it would be just to get to the gym. [...]
Tour De Whidbey

Amy and I are thinking of trying the Tour De Whidbey. Probably the Century (100 mile) course. That means I’ve got till September to get up to 100 mile rides. That’s doable. I’ve got a nice practice loop with a decent slopping uphill and fast downhill to practice on. To get there, I just need [...]

I went to a personal trainer for the first time today. I’ve actually gone to some of her circuit classes before. And she trained Amy for Lavaman, so I know her pretty well already. Lots of poking and prodding today to see where I’m at. The first real training day will be on Friday. I’m [...]

Man are my legs sore… I rode my bicycle to work today… about 10 miles… I haven’t ridden the bicycle for about a year (ever since I got my motorcycle ) Here’s some interesting pics I shot on the way… About a dozen goslings and their VERY protective parents… I’m glad I wasn’t trying to [...]

Amy and I are in Spokane tonight at the Davenport Hotel. We’re signed up for the 7.5 mile Bloomsday race tomorrow, Sunday May 4th. I think it’s going to be a bit painful, as we haven’t really trained for it, but I still think it’ll be fun. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the [...]
