Sunday: Rode to Red Rocks and back. Looked like this: It has snowed the last couple of days, so my route consisted of bike paths that were: * well shoveled, * barely shoveled* not shoveled *at all*, where forward motion was very slow or, roads that were somewhat sketch and filled with snow, dirt and Continue reading…
I’ve been “training” for the Tour Divide Race for about a month now. I wasn’t really slouching in my physical condition, but the year started out slow with my knee injury, ending in very successful physical therapy and a wonderful summer spent in Colorado riding bikes and discovering the fun of doing all the walk Continue reading…

Did a nice 100+ mile bike ride, down the cherry creek bike path, West on E-470 trail to Deer Creek Canyon, up High Grade Road and to HW 73 through Evergreen and then took the turn to Morrison and back home via Jewel until it hits up the Platte River bike path and then home. Continue reading…
12/20/10 Weigh in @ 183 lbs Bike Ride @ moderate pace around Cherry Creek Res and back ~ 35 miles? (I forgot to check the computer) Should have been less moderate, but turned more moderate as it was slightly windy and I just *had* to catch up to some actual Cat 3-ish bike racers, who Continue reading…
