So the otherday was Groundhog Day and the rodent predicted 6 more weeks of Winter. A couple of days later and I put down 100 miles of riding outdoors on my road bike. I’ll take a Winter like this one anytime! Sunday was a glorious day for February. 7C, very little wind and I had [...] No weekly update, no post race report? Yeah I am busier than normal this week.

No matter your sport this message is for you! So I’ve been tossing around a bunch of ideas about a bunch of things and while all this was being sorted by my brain I came to a conclusion. I can’t give less than 100%. It is the reason that, even though I am fitter than ever and could just follow some simple maintenance to [...] …but don’t let what you don’t have stop you from doing what you love to do! This past weekend was the 2010 24 Hour Summer Solstice mountain bike race. This was the race that started it all for me with the Ride For Rob. This year we were back with Rob and Rich both riding [...] |
