This kicks ass. I hope they come out with a similar system for a bicycle.May 22, 2006
112
That's the number of miles I rode on Saturday. I also like saying 181 kilometers because it sounds like a lot more.
Anyway, as I said last Friday, I was only planning on riding 70 miles. But when I got to the 35 mile station it was only 9:30 in the morning and I was still feeling pretty good. So I decided to keep going and do the whole century.

Il Giro
Sorry I'm not posting all that much. The summer is in full swing which means among other things, Grand Tours. If you don't know what that is look at this wiki. When I'm not at work, cycling, or sleeping, I tend to get stuck in front of the computer or tv watching as much as I can. The first of the Grand Tours, the Giro d'Italia happens every May and is currently in full swing. It's a lot of fun to see Lance's rivals fighting once again. It was impressive to see Lance's reign of domination in The Tour, but it also got rather boring. This year, the field is wide open with several riders, including a few Americans, with a great shot at winning.
Besides Grand Tour watching, I've been training for a 70 mile ride that happens tomorrow and the MS150 that happens June 24 and 25. If you'd like to sponsor me go here. Of course, it goes to a great cause and I'll no doubt be thinking of not letting you down as I ride 150 miles over two days.

Concrete is Hard
I took my first tumble on my road bike today at lunch. It wasn't too bad, scraped up my knee, elbow and palm, but the good news is my bike is cool. I will heal, but my bike can't. Also, I'm glad I wore my helmet because it has a dent in it now. Most days when I get out for a quick lunch ride I won't even take my helmet. My rides are more just to get out of the office and get my heart pumping a bit.

Work. Cycle. Sleep. Repeat.
For the last month I've been bombarded by negative forces. It has seemed that despite many good things happening in so many areas of my life there are still several factors that are bringing me down. But basically I've made it through all the drama by keeping my nose to the grindstone. I've worked hard, rode hard, and slept as much as possible. After all in order to make your muscles grow you need to push them hard and then let them rest. I'm hoping this same principle applies to life.
