The Wind Blows

Rode in 16mph winds with 20+mph gusts, thanks to the outer bands of Ike.  I was whipped by mile 30, but got some energy thanks to the Clif Shot Bloks.  Those things rok!! :)  The most interesting part of this ride is that the wind was always in our face, no matter what direction we [...]

Hello humidity, my old friend

Summer is officially here in MS. Rode early morning yesterday and it was like riding through a steam bath for the first half of the ride. It did, interestingly enough, get cooler (or less humid) about an hour or so into it.

The first 10 suck

I’ve discovered recently that the first 10 or so miles of a ride really sucks. It’s the time when I think, “Go home, you can’t do this” or “This sucks, go home” or several other things. I’ve had to learn to ride through it and to keep going, but I’m curious if others [...]

Breathe Right strips for dogs?

Took the bike out last night (a Guru Flite if you must know) and helped a friend mark up some brand new road! Wahoo! Ended up riding about 12 or so miles which was good considering how late I left work. We marked the road every 1/2 mile so now I can [...]
