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

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 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. [...]

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 [...]
