What I’m doing and an inspirational weight loss video

Well folks, it’s been a while since I’ve written but that wasn’t my plan. I’ve had lots of things going on and haven’t even gotten back on the bike even though I had every intention to. I had actually planned to ride today but getting sick over the weekend wasn’t in my plans. Unfortunately, a sore throat, stuffed up sinuses, fever, and ear ache put a damper on my riding today....

Ten Brisk Miles

Contrary to popular belief, I am still around and still live in Jax. For how long I’m not sure but I’ll talk about that later. Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve ridden. I turned an ankle a few weeks ago (I have bad ankles to start with) and had to take a week off. That wasn’t bad. Then my life was turned upside down and I felt no desire to ride.

Bike Ride 36 – Stoplights Stink

I discovered a loose spoke and tightened it...

Bicycle Contests & Giveaways

It’s that time of the week for my weekly update but things around here have been kind of slow.

The weather played some weird games this week which caused me only to get two rides in. I was all set for a long ride on Saturday but mother nature wouldn’t cooperate. I got up at 7:00...

Bike Ride 34 – Drag Racing a Cement Truck

The weather the last couple of day has been spotty due to some strong thunderstorms that rolled through the area. It was a little windy yesterday afternoon too. The kicker, though, has that the temp has plummeted. Lows the last couple of nights have been in the low 70s with highs in the mid 80s. Awesome riding weather. This morning was no different. I rolled out of the garage at about 5:10 and was greeted...
