Cronometro's "other bike ride" Spring forward version.
Time is changing and that gave me a excuse to do something. A quick ride from the Store to The Great Dane pub. We will leave the store 4:15ish. 6 mile ride to the Dane, a refreshment or 2. Maybe a snack as well. And then back to the Store. Please if you are in the area grab a bike, (hopefully one of yours) and join us.Tell your friends help spread the word, its always a good time. Hope to see you then.

Trainer? They are for Wimps!
February... Riding... In Wisconsin? Hell yeah!
A brisk 26F and a nice little wind shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying a nice Sunday ride. I went out with a couple buddies for a 15mile ride, mostly on the Capital City trail.
Here are a few pictures:

A good month on the trainer.
For the first time in about 19 years I have ridden a trainer for a significant amount of time. Or at least what I think of as a significant amount. A little over 200 miles and 15 hours of trainer time.
The motivation is simple. 10 days of ridding in the Pyrenees Mountains.
That makes hoping on the trainer a little easier when there is light at the end of the tunnel! And you know that the tunnel is an 8% grade. So far its all going well I just keep telling myself that the more I ride now the less it will hurt in June. Still have a hard time staying on for more then an hour, but will try to up it a little. Don't think I could do 3 hours like Capn Cowbell did. But with a little determination I think I might be able to get in an hour and a half. All I can do is try.

Back on the trainer.
After only ridding once in the last week and a half. Tonight I got back on the trainer. We all have been a little bit sick. Nothing major just hacking cough and tired. Thought I had better get over it and not make it worse. Took it easy tonight, watch the OT of the Saints and Vikings and just spun for about 40 mins. Feels good to be back on the bike, now just to get into a routine.
Hope everyone else is getting in some "Outside" miles. Looks like the weather will be chilly here for another week and then warm up for a few days. It will be nice to get out on the road if possible.
