Just Ride

Posted by Bryan on Aug 19, 2011 in Blog, Motivation | 13 comments

The last few weeks I’ve struggled both on and off the bike. I was in one of those down periods that we all experience from time-to-time and it was affecting my riding more than anything. Prior to this week my weekly riding mileage was on the decline with totals of 58, 45, and 35 over the last three weeks.

Replacing Your Clipless Pedal Cleats

Posted by Bryan on Aug 16, 2011 in Bike Maintenance, Blog | 4 comments

The cleats on the bottoms of our cycling shoes are some of the most well-worn pieces of equipment a cyclist has. They get walked on, shoved into a pedal against spring pressure, scraped onto the ground, and are forgotten about until they become a problem. Kind of like tires on your car.

I decided to shoot a little video for this topic. The quality isn’t great so please bear with me as I try something new.

Interview with David Mills – Author of The Distance

Posted by Bryan on Aug 12, 2011 in Blog, Cycling Blogger Profile, Motivation | 6 comments

Today I have a special treat in the form of an interview. David Mills has written The Distance where he talks about his quest to complete an Ironman Triathlon after watching two friends accomplish this amazing feat. Most importantly, David isn’t a professional triathlete. He trained while balancing the demands of being a husband, father, and Officer in the military. In other words, he has a life like most of us do. His book is geared to help the Average Joe complete an Ironman. You can place a pre-order at The Distance Book.

Posted by Bryan on Aug 5, 2011 in Blog, Cycling For Weight Loss | 13 comments

Welcome to my July 2011 Cycling and Weight Loss Report!

This is the first of a series of reports I’ll be posting each month summarizing my weight loss and cycling progress. I want to keep you updated on how the pounds are coming off, highlight things that are working for me both on and off the bike, and share whatever else may be of importance. Honestly, I don’t know why I haven’t started this before now.

Should The TdF Only Be A Week Long?

Posted by Bryan on Jul 19, 2011 in Blog | 9 comments

Every year I watch the Tour de France. You know, that three week race that takes place in July over in France. In fact, it’s going on right now. You should check it out. Each time I watch it though I can’t help but wonder if it’s two weeks longer than it should be. Why? Let me explain.

July Weight Loss Goals

It’s about 8:30 in the evening as I sit here writing this post. The Stage 4 replay of the Tour de France is on TV and I can’t wait to see the finish [again]. You see, I already watched it on Eurosport at work this morning (don’t tell my boss!). The finish was so good though that I had to watch it again tonight.

Friday Feedback: Feeling Yucky Sucks

Posted by Bryan on Jul 1, 2011 in Blog, Nutrition | 0 comments

Thought I would take a few minutes and give everyone a little feedback on my riding and weight loss. I haven’t been updating you and feel that it’s something I should be doing more of. Plus it’ll get me into a habit of posting more since I am really sucking in that area. For this first feedback I’m going to start two weeks back and bring you up to speed through today.
