- My first close encounter with a mountain lion! – A fellow rider had a head on collision with a car and according to the witnesses he wasn’t looking too good! I thought it was my friend who got hit so that made me worry and had to ride back for him. Still, it was [...]

Dang it, woke up late this morning for a bike ride. Mission Peak or Alum Rock?

YES!!! I did it. Endurance session 2 completed, finished, done!

Session 2 on my bike trainer. Another endurance workout… “Getting Aero”

Everything is set. Let’s ride!

Just finished the Threshold Test and Suffer Fest by Spinervals using my new bike trainer. This 60 minute workout DVD is awesome. It includes a great threshold building workout designed to boost your anaerobic threshold and sustainable power output for time trialing events including triathlons, this workout also functions as a repeatable “field test” used [...]
