I love my Siren SS. The bike feels as good and natural as anything I’ve ever ridden. Bike and rider blur on this steed. Yet, racing it in a geared class is a losing proposition. If there’s one thing I learned racing TransRockies on a SS, it’s that going with one gear is a major disadvantage...

I have some more pictures now. Thanks to the others who had their cameras ready to go. Thanks Jeff and Kim! You’ll see the house we rented in the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. You’ll see the large bag of oatmeal on the kitchen table! THANKS Leslie. You’ll also see the great bread...

What an adventure! It was my first year for the Cheat Mountain Challenge in Snowshoe, West Virginia. It was also my first meeting with Sprocketboy (Leslie) of Travels With A Tin Donkey. That’s him in the solo picture on the left and then with me in the next picture. We’ve been communicating...

This weekend I’ll be in Snowshoe, West Virginia for the Cheat Mountain Challenge. It will be my first time at this event thanks to Leslie at Travels With a Tin Donkey. He suggested the ride as it’s not too far for me to drive. Heck… he’s driving all the way down from Ottawa for...

It was a cloudy start and I thought I would beat the rain… but there it was ten minutes in. Hard to tell by this picture but I was soaked. I was out for a good ride after taking a week off the bike. I took the time off because I tweaked something in my right [...]

Thule engineers would be impressed… a mountain bike balanced on one side and a TV on the other. Just thought I’d share this interesting picture. So, 08-08-08 and I’m looking forward to cheering on our American Cyclicts in the Men’s Road Race tomorrow (Saturday)! You can watch...

Well here we go again… Emanuele Sella has been suspended from the Italian Olympic cycling team after testing positive for the blood booster EPO. Yes, if you are familiar with the Giro results or you watched the race, you may remember he was the Top Climber in this year’s Giro. He also won...

I started out this morning looking to do a longer ride and I was solo. But just as I was headed out of my subdivision I saw a cyclist go by. Great, I thought, there’s my rabbit. Here’s a picture… he’s (Daryl) right up the road. I thought… I can [...]

24 Hours of Booty… I know it seems like my posts are going on and on for what was a 24 Hour event. But… you’ll have to bare with me because this means so much to me, my family and friends. So, I edited some video snippets into one little movie (below). [...]

What a ride! I was so excited to be a part of this awesome event. If you cycle and you want to help out a great cause you must sign up for 24 Hours of Booty! I was invited by Brian, a good friend, to join his team, “Do It For Aaron.” Brian lost his brother, Aaron, to [...]
