Today, I rode with the local club. The route was to a small farming town where a pancake breakfast was scheduled. Pancakes were 28 miles away and we had 2 hours to get there. Even with a stiff head wind and a rain storm, we made it by 10 minutes, but they had stopped serving an hour early. Instead we hit the local cafe and…

Yesterday's Time Trial went OK, at least there was no rain. While I had my slowest time ever (37:15) I did have a Strava PR on the last hill. I was 12th in my age group of 14.

I'm back for another month of fun. On Tuesday, April 1, my wife and I drove to the ride, but I forgot my bag containing my cycling shoes and helmet. Opps! On Wednesday, I did a quick little ride.

I raced the last Southern Oregon Time Trial yesterday. I peddled hard, I had fun and I am happy with my result. This race was the hardest of the three - more elevation gain then the prior two combined, but no long sustained climbs. There were at least eight short but steep climbs, the kind that are very hard. SOTT #3…

Yesterday, I stayed home due to a migraine headache (which I get about once a month). I found out that my wife was planning a hilly ride and I thought what the h*ll, I'll join her. The head pain was less during the ride, but came back once I got off of the bike. Nonetheless, I got some good training in. The Hilly Ride:…

I rode much harder than I really should have today as I had to get back in time for my granddaughters first birthday.
