Just not the same!

Rode with a local group today.  33.6 miles. Great ride but it wasn't CCR!  I might be in Dayton in a couple weeks and hope to ride so if anyone has an extra bike I could use that would be great, or I could kick. 

Happy miles!

‎70 Mitchell miles today in strong winds, a real butt kicker. I figure i did the equivalent of 25 miles at 6-8% grade, my average speed was 14mph into the wind. It was great to take advantage of such a windy day Mt. Mitchell is gona HURT so good. Cheers!

Welcome To My Fitness Center!

Went in as Sharp Cheddar and came back as hot cream cheese! A major butt kicker,wind 10-25mph in your face,it felt soooo goood to be on the Footbike again even if i had to fight for 4-5mph on the hills in the wind,it was great there were 5 of us and we were going hard this AM and it was worth every heart beat! What a great kick/ride!!

Saturday Ride 2/19

Most of the snow has melted, so we should be looking at a rare riding day for February. Should be 30 degrees to start so there may be a few slick spots. Today would have been awesome. Nice enough that I rode my single speed to work. We will be looking at the usual 7:30 muster at Joes, and probably ride the original route. Hammerheads can take the Callahan power loop. I will swing by James' at 7:10. I can taste those pancakes, now. Hope to see some "cherry blossoms".

"SURGERY DATE SET"

Went to the Doctor yesterday for a (Q&A) session,and came out with a APRIL 11, date for "DaVinci" robotic surgery.. Thats a Monday which I was hoping for,thinking maybe a Sat. ride or at least a kickbike ride...But to the Doctor's dismay, she said absolutly not for at least 4 weeks...."BUMMER",that I could do major damage if I even tried.. Anyway,scheduled for a 7:30 procedure,approx.3-4 hr time,walking halls that evening(Docs.)orders,possably home next day,or no later than Wends. DaVinci is "cutting edge" technology with minimal bleeding,complications,ect....I'm relieved to have a date set,and extremly comfortable with my Doctor,and her experience of over 500 surgeries of this type..

Looking forward to Sat"s ride...See ya then!!!!!

Lolita and Me

Took Lolita out for a test ride.  I enjoyed it as a TT but it really shines as a road bike.  Not sure about the weight but I am thinking about 17 to 17.5 lbs.  Light, nimble and buttery smooth ride.  Hoping for a longer ride tomorrow. 

Sexy Thang!

Lolita just got a face lift.  Went from an 11-23 cassette to an 11-28.  Next a compact crank.

Saturday-Will he? or Wont he? thats the question!
