As we enter the colder months in the northern hemisphere, the decreased daylight hours can take a heavy toll on our riding fitness as the available time to ride decreases drastically. Gone are the days of regular weekday rides in favor of darkness as you head home on your daily commute. When the days start [...]
In the southeast United States, we finally hit daylight savings time and the promise of more riding as the weather gets warmer and it stays light outside longer. Normally, we get to ride through the winter as wickedly cold days are few and far between, but…this year…has been filled with nothing but rain, snow and [...]
One of the things I love the most about the road bike is the ability to leave straight from my house and get in as many miles as my legs can handle. There is something about the solo road ride that is extremely peaceful but motivating at the same time. Yes…hitting 40+ mph inches away [...]
Luckily, for many of us in the United States, we got to enjoy a 3 day weekend full of sunshine, and…of course…you know what that means…3 days of riding! Labor Day weekend historically provides us cycling addicts with a perfect excuse to get out and do what we love best 3 days in a row. [...]
It always amazes me…every time I get the chance to watch the pro cyclists do their thing, I am really reminded why they are pros and we are not. Their ability to make speed look effortless on terrain that makes us wince in pain is what takes them to that next level. Over the weekend, [...]
It is time for the 2009 USA Pro Cycling Championships in Greenville, SC…and I am going to be there! There are a couple of us internet geeks/bloggers that are going to be getting together on Saturday after the individual time trail championships. The US Pro meet-up will take place at Barley’s Taproom at 3:30pm on [...]
As most of you already know, Sunday afternoon was supposed to be filled with miles and miles of north Georgia mountain biking, but responsibilities at home made getting away for an entire day nearly impossible. That’s ok…it happens from time to time, but that does not mean I have to be off the bike for [...]
Last night, a group of 4 of us hit up a local Thursday night road ride in Roswell, GA. This was the first time I had ever done this ride, but I was familiar with the route as I have ridden it once before. The route takes you through fantastic areas of Roswell as you [...]
This past Saturday, the Coosa Valley Cycling Association had its annual Up the Creek Without a Pedal road ride in Rome, GA. This road ride has several different mileage options (30, 45,62, 100) available to accommodate riders at all skill levels. With a ton (576 riders) of riders all eager to conquer the roads surrounding [...]
We started off the ride in 38 degree overcast and ended it in 45 degree sunshine and I am extremely glad that we didn’t bail on account of the outside temperature. We were warm the entire ride and it was perfect. Since this was my first extended ride on the road bike, I did have some very distinct observations to share. This ride was a huge eye opener into what I have to look forward to in the ride to come…
