Maxed Out
No, I’m not referring to my ride today (although Dusty and Ben took turns making me suffer), I am referring to the book I am reading. It is called “Maxed Out” and it… | READ »

Good Hard Day
Got in a good hard ride today. I was pretty tired from the last few days, but I still felt strong, so that was good. Ben, Dusty, Waldek and I headed up Rist,… | READ »

Bitter Freezing Cold
Yes, that’s right. It was most certainly not the 40 degrees that “Accuweather” was predicting. The ride started out alright, and we headed up Rist Canyon at a pretty good clip. There was… | READ »

Not the Rollers
It was cold this morning, but I was going to ride outside no matter what- I just didn’t have the motivation to sit on the rollers today. By the time I got out… | READ »
