19mi. Those are my eyes, riding in the dark, looking for old fender parts, manhole covers, reflectors and such. They are riveted to the road in front of me! I chose a new route today, not wanting to do the same Singer Island loop. It was a good first exposure to this ride, I didn't … Continue reading Riveted to the road!

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
20mi. I have a looping route (that returns me back home, not spins me upside down) of exactly 20 miles that I chance during the week. Being that I'm responsible for taking my son to school in the am, there is no room for error. I can't flat or crash, if I do, I need … Continue reading Riding during the week? Luxury!
41 miles. I can ride at almost full wick and not have it affect my lower leg. Good in one sense, but makes me think, should my lower leg be contributing anything to the cycling effort, or does it normally and that action has no effect on my calf muscles? I rode with Charlotte & … Continue reading Confirmation!

40 mi. Yes, the saddle gets lonely when I haven't used it in awhile! This 40 mile out and back was spent wondering where my small amount of cycling competency from last season went. It was windy and overcast with a threat of rain the whole time, but I wasn't able to keep a good … Continue reading The saddle is lonely
33mi. Today was supposed to be an exposure or re-exposure to cycling for Chiara, Stanton and Walter. Two down from that count saw Charlotte, Stanton and I leaving Jupiter at just after 7am for Bridge Rd in Tequesta. I had a sleeveless shirt on, which felt comfortable. Foolishly, I allowed my "less than bright" front … Continue reading Plink!
30 mi bike, 4 mi run I woke up expecting the temp to be low 60s and it to already have rained. Neither was true. It was cloudy, windy and damp, with dark clouds stirring north along the beach. I arrived at Loggerhead Park looking to meet Walter & Chiara, who were doing a Sunday … Continue reading 2 in 1
A routine ride is made notable by the wind and a crash leaving one rider hospitalized and others shaken from the experience.
