ichabods twisted 2man time trial. congrats to jay and dave will(power)

i think its time...

to get off my lazy cycling routine and get into the schedule again of miles and miles....sickness is gone, ambition is high and the bike is always ready.

Lights are ready, trails are ready...so why do I wait? not sure but its about to change.

The weekend was a trip. lots of biking and hangin with friends in Wiscony....this was the type of weekend i could repeat over and over.


see ya on the trails.

glad to get out! night ride in the park and it was grrrreat! cued up the lights, cycled up some blues travelers and down the road i went.

once in elm creek it was a smooth and ez ride to the single track and in the dark you really need a light on the helmet to see properly. ran into Hogland out there and we spun around for a spot and then i headed to Bernies home to say hello [he was en route for work in a distant state] and then to the bike shop to say hello 2 the crew there.

the ride home was surreal and quiet in the park. i highly suggest night rides in the park. what a great way to cap the day!

heading to la crosse this weekend for mt biking and dinner with friends.

Pic from Cheq...LOL

Was just sent some great post-Cheq pics. I got to spend my time with Pete Taylor and family/friends for the remainder of the weekend. This pic reminded me of just how tired I was...sleeping for about an hour on a metal canoe...it was magical. had to take a pic of the hard copy so its grainy.

down with the sickness

its been just over 1 week of dealing with a head/chest cold that has sucked the life out of me. Not the flu or some bizarre voodoo virus - just a snot and achy filled cold. So in lieu of church tonight, I took my pinched nerve [in my back] and saddled the 29er and headed for some easy geared road and single track. After all, it was 70 deg when I left and by the time I got to super prime, my lower back popped and wallah, my back is better, legs stretched out and my cough was still kickin.

I wanted to cruise at some level of effort and 2 weeks of no riding and a cold said "you will ride easy today...." and so I did. Anything above about level 2 HR was a cough-ridden phlem-fest. This is ok b/c just getting out sometimes is a good thing.

I still get lost in the single track but Im getting better. With a few repeates up the sledding hill and a trip back on the double track - I was done and ready to go home. Dark it seems by like 645 or so...weird.

single trackin' with the master

me and hogland...single track. thanks dave as it was much better riding today than with a big gear...i hope 2 get 2 know those trails better as one could really get lost. it was really nice to not have swarms of skeeters eating your blood the whole time. next time ...32x18 out there. i think we shld plan a trip to elk river soon.
