That’s right, I cycle commute to work year round and this is the 4th winter for riding in the snow & cold. Some think I’m a little crazy, perhaps. Some think it’s too dangerous, perhaps. Car drivers dislike cyclists, and especially winter cyclists, perhaps. So far this winter the riding has been going well, and Read More …
So this week I had a problem with the rear bike rack. On Thursday the bolt attaching the rack to the lower chain stay snapped off. Now the rack is saying on.one side and the fender is rubbing the tire. An quick zip tie fix didn’t make it through the Friday commute. Time for a Read More …
It appears that I’m a winer in the Tour of Sufferlandria! My prize? Well, interesting that you should ask. The prize is Taylor Phinney signed pair of Giro Empire shoes (Collectible – size 45) And sure enough he wears them! At first I was thinking what will I do with a pair of Read More …
I rode the IceBike today, probably my 10th or more, I’ve lost track, but I’ve got quite a few T-shirts from the events at home. For me, this year was one of the worst. Within the first couple of minutes I had a mechanical issue with chain suck that had me stopped and off the Read More …
I… am… so… out… of… my… league… at… 308. Today’s Fight Club just killed me. Had to stop multiple times in the last two intervals to recover. I’m going to have to dial down my FTP from 308 to something like 290 in order to survive the next 6 days. Last year I tested a Read More …
So, Saturday December 6, 2014 was Global Fat Bike Day. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to ride a Fat Bike so I rented one. Rode off to The Forks. Joined up with 40+ other “Fattie” lovers And rode all over Winnipeg, Had a good time.
First off, I’m at the lake, so how sweet is that! Next, it’s not raining and I got in a ride with Arthur Fast instead of the usual solo effort. I did flat on the way out to our 9am rendezvous at Tim’s East in Kenora but still made it on time after donating a Read More …
There is a bit of a meme going around about recording your rides on Strava to the effect of “If it’s not on Strava, it didn’t happen“. I’m a big Strava fan and use it on almost all my rides, yesterday’s ride around Kenora was no exception. However, the problem was I appear to have Read More …
Nope, not a road trip, didn’t leave home, in fact I stayed in the basement for most of this. Trainerroad has an 8 day training challenge that coincides with the Tour of California. 8 stages in 8 days. I did the Tour of Sufferlandria back in February, so this time I knew how hard it Read More …
This year I rode the Tour of Sufferlandria, and indoor training event featuring 9 days of riding between 1 and 2 hours each day. It didn’t sound too bad but man it was hard! Last year was the 1st ever Tour, and we were in Maui so I didn’t participate. Touring Maui was way easier and Read More …
