2011 Ride #1 (Back in the saddle)

View Ascent activity on 17-Jan-11 at 10:51AM in a larger map

With apologies to Gene Autry:

Back in the saddle again Spinning my legs like a fiend, Where the fixed-gear riders roll, On the goddamned chip seal roads. Oh, I’m back in the saddle again.

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh! Rockin’ to and fro, Back in the saddle again. [...]

Ugh. Headwind the whole way home. That hurt. I figure I get to count it as two rides if the Garmin logs it as two separate rides, right?

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 #1

Woke up late this morning, but the weather is absolutely gorgeous outside … clear and sunny with temperatures in the low-to-mid 30s, so I decided to skip skiing and go for the first ride of the 2010 season instead.

14.5 miles, AvgHR 148, 574 [...]

2009 Ride #49

A ride is a ride, right? Had to take the Trooper to the shop on Saturday to get the clutch replaced … but also had to get to Wheeler Farm for UTCX #5 … so, dropped off the Trooper, then rode the fixed-gear down [...]

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 #31

Not a fan of the new Garmin Connect over Motionbased.com; on Motionbased, there was a link so that I could view a larger version of a ride map on Google maps, but this feature is not available in Garmin Connect, and I can’t figure out how to export the route information into another format that [...]

Get'em Marty!

VeloNews | Old doping accusations lead to altercation

It was over in an instant, but the altercation between a Tour of Utah race official and Garmin-Chipotle team doctor Prentice Steffen was years in the making.

During the stage 3 criterium in Salt Lake City last Friday, Tour of Utah team liaison Marty Jemison, a former [...]

Rock Racing & Simple Living riders in an early break.

Garmin-Chipotle pulling the field to chase down the breakaway riders.

Almost 200 photos taken altogether … these were the only two of the actual race worth keeping. I’ve got a lot of work to do on action shots.

End of Tour ride

Now that the Tour is over, it’s time to get off the couch and back on the bike … of course, 3 weeks off, when you’re already not fit, can be painful when you do get back on.

The Garmin didn’t record yesterday’s ride properly, but here’s today’s …
