Church on Time

Quick run to th e church awesome tailwind out meant just one thing. Painfull ride home watching the avg. fall. 1:03 ouch.

Near Metric Century

After a slack week(from a riding perspective) I figured I needed a pretty decent effort today. Rode down to oxford, then back through Hoel and Camden. 60+ miles with a 19mph avg. Pretty good with the strong wind today

Carlos the Bicycle Man

Of all the guys I have ever riden with, I think Carlos has the most Fun! Carlos is the only one to summit the bonette twice, after climbing for more than 2 hrs.

Concord Church TT PR

New PR for the Concord Church TT tonight 57:25, 2:30 faster than ever before, with a 22mph average. And this with no AeroBars. Record pace out with a headwind, then iced it off with a great tailwind run home. Watch out Weber, I'm coming for you.

Finishing with a Bang on Superbagneres

Now writing from home in Indiana. My trip to Spain and France was the experience of a life time. I hope to find a way to do this again soon. Will next summer be soon enough? The last day in the Pyrenees I left the hotel for a quick climb of the Superbagnerese. This was one of my favorite rides of the entire trip. I guess it is pretty tough, but my fresh legs really didn't notice. There were plenty of cyclists on the climb, but traffic was extremely light, with only a couple of cars politely passing me on the way up. The lack of maps of late is due to changes in the Garmin web site which have made it difficult to get data from the GPS. I hope to solve this soon.
