Today’s ride: 1:47:56 Distance: 30.67 miles I’m buying a lot of gloves and tail lights. The tail lights I’ve talked about. I broke one hitting a pothole. Another one fell off hitting another pothole.* Since I ride a lot in the early morning, I really want to make sure I’m seen, so I’ve gone and [...]

This morning’s ride: 37:26 Distance: 10.26 miles I’m a ditherer. I dither like a mother. When I went to bed last night I told myself that if it was raining, I’d go to the spin class at the Y, and if it wasn’t, I’d ride. This morning, I dithered. It was cold and wet, a [...]

Five months, 8 days til I ask myself “what the hell was I thinking?“ I’m still here. Sorry about the lack of posting. Been busy. I worked out on Thursday (I noticed I wrote the wrong day but right date on the previous posting) with Dave. We worked chest and abdomen. It’s good to work [...]

Five months, 11 days until the big climb. I’ve been up since 5. I made the spinning class. I worked all day, then spent too much time in the kitchen. This food thing is killing me. Not the food itself–just the preparation and cleanup. Tons and tons of time. Remember that list of food I [...]

Five months and two weeks (I think–still not sure) til the rubber hits the extremely-sloped road. I didn’t work out yesterday. I did get my bike back, though. I had dreams of actually getting on the road this week. Then I woke up Sunday to 2″ of snow on the ground and more in the [...]

Five months, sixteen days until I can stop blogging. I guess. I haven’t really thought about it. Will I continue this blog once I’ve done the ride? I dunno. Thursday was hellishly long…I worked all day, rushed home and made dinner for the kids and myself, then went and worked a basketball game, then came [...]

Five months and 20 days to the mountain climb. Another day of no workouts. I’ll be doing two tomorrow, so I need to get to bed. We had hamburgers for dinner tonight. Since we no longer eat flour, they were without buns. So it was a surprise when I got to the table and found [...]

Five months and twenty-something days til blah blah blah. Food is a lot of work. Really. Especially if you weigh and measure everything. Which is what I’m doing. Right now, food preparation is taking up a lot of my time. Like, 3 hours a day. Part of it’s a learning curve–getting used to a new [...]

Five months, 24 days or so til I ride up Mount Washington. First day on the food plan was good. There’s going to be a learning curve to getting the food prepared. I spent a large part of today prepping food. And I’m surprised at how much is gone from the food I purchased on [...]

Five months and 25-ish days ’til my legs turn to Jell-O on the side of a mountain. I got an email today from one of the organizers of the ride, telling me that registration was open for a training ride up Mount Washington in July. Yeah. Like I’m gonna ride my bike up that thing [...]
