2010 Ride #10

View Ascent activity on 18-Apr-10 at 12:03PM in a larger map

Thought about taking it easy today … and I guess I did, since I only did 25 miles instead of matching yesterday’s 38, but I still got in a little under 1500 feet of climbing. Up Emigration to just past the Sun & Moon [...]

2010 Ride #3

View Ascent activity on 07-Feb-10 at 02:20PM in a larger map

Short ride before the Stupor Bowl … lungs in terrible shape today; even with the inhaler, I could barely breathe throughout much of the ride. I think the average (158) and max HR (177) rates today will corroborate.

On the other hand, it’s another [...]

2009 Ride #50

View Ascent activity on 20-Dec-09 at 01:18PM in a larger map

So should I count this as a 2009 ride, or should I consider it a jumpstart on the 2010 rides? Drove to Phoenix yesterday (Saturday) for the holidays, and of course had to bring a bike to help keep me sane … the fact [...]

Today’s much better ride #46:

Yesterday, my heart rate spiked from the get-go … 126 before I even started turning the cranks, and from the moment I started pedaling, [...]

2009 Ride #38

View Larger Map

Kind of hot, but very, very muggy today, making breathing difficult for a fat, out-of-shape old punk like me, but still managed to roll-out another 28 miles, bringing my annual total to 802 thus far this season; not a lot, I know, but still more than I did during the entirety of [...]

2009 Ride #36 (aka the crappy Friday ride)

View Larger Map

Flatted a relatively new Vittoria Corsa CX-EVO, had a massive asthma attack, and got stung 3 or 4 times by a wasp stuck in my jersey under my armpit. This day sucked.

Hopefully my bad luck today is only limited my own bike riding, and not to my photographs of other cyclists [...]

2009 Ride #35

View Larger Map

Emigration to Pinecrest, same as last Sunday … didn’t feel quite as good though. By the time I hit the mouth of Emigration Canyon, I thought I’d be lucky to make it to Ruth’s Diner, and almost turned off to take Wasatch back south.

But … I decided to go ahead and [...]

2009 Ride #33

Oh my God … I actually felt good today … legs were a little stiff when I first started off, but by the time I hit the mouth of Emigration Canyon, they were nice and loose, and my breathing was going fairly well too … I didn’t have to pull over to [...]

2009 Ride #32

View Larger Map

This has been a bad week for me in a lot of ways … but thankfully, I have a woman who adores me (even if she is 800 miles away), and generally have decent health and can get out and ride my bikes.

Not a great day on the bike today, but [...]

2009 Ride #24

View Larger Map

Tried to take advantage of the unexpected good weather and got out for another ride on this holiday Friday; unfortunately, I forgot my inhaler, and had some problems breathing, including a pretty serious asthma attack on the climb up out of Parley’s on the bike path.

Felt like crap, cut the ride [...]
