I’m the Shop Wheel Sucker
My last group ride with the guys from the local shop was in October. I wanted to ride in November and December but something always got in the way – getting sick, the holidays, family obligations, etc. A couple of weeks ago I tried to make it to a ride and realized halfway there that I had forgot my helmet. It just wasn’t meant to be. I wouldn’t be denied this past Saturday though.

Saturday saw me do my second charity ride of the year at the 10th Annual Patriots Memorial Ride. It’s been held each year following the attacks of Sepember 11, 2011 in honor of those who died.

Because I’ve neglected posting this week I’ve got a few things to cover in today’s post. Strap yourself in, squirt a gel, and grab a wheel.
Read MoreIntervals Started This Week
As we move into week #3 of the Cycling for Optimum Weight mission, I began a new workout sent to me by Darryl of Loving the Bike. To recap the last two weeks, I’ve just been riding to get in a total of 5.5 hours in the saddle. Pace and distance weren’t as much a priority as getting the time in.
