The 2011 Bike MS “Coast the Coast” Ride
I did it! I rode 85 miles in one day. I decided to not repeat last year’s late morning start and missing the team photo. No, not again. Friday night, I got my equipment together, and placed it next to … Continue reading

I think I’m ready for Saturday’s big 85-mile ride
I think I’m basically ready for Saturday’s big 85-mile ride. I’ve got two more days to go, and although I’m a little nervous about attempting to traverse that long distance, I’m sure it will be fine in the end. I’m … Continue reading
I got my new (and first) official cycling eyewear
I have a terrible confession to make. I’ve been secretly “slumming it” on my bike by using unofficial cycling eyewear. I know, I know, I want to vomit too. 😉 I’ve never been one for fancy-shmancy sunglasses, as I’ve always been … Continue reading

On Sunday, the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, NJ, hosted a training ride opportunity for some of the big MS Bike Ride teams participating later this month. They marked out a 15-mile loop starting from their winery, and included a … Continue reading

I’ve participated twice now in the Multiple Sclerosis Society – NJ Metro Chapter’s “Coast the Coast” bike tours down the Jersey shore. It’s a great event, you help raise funds for charity, and you feel good about yourself. Last year … Continue reading
Alberto Contador’s 2nd failed drug test
The news this week is that cycling champion Alberto Contador failed not one, but two drug tests back in July. This is all very disappointing. I’m not a fan of Contador — I found him to be self-centered after witnessing … Continue reading
My road bike is back
After a long week and a half, I picked up my bicycle today. It’s not perfect, as I ordered a new rear wheel, but delivery on the wheel has been delayed. Maybe next week. In the meantime, I got the … Continue reading
New cycling milestone for 2010 – I hit 200 miles
I’m a little behind on my riding time this year, due to some busy weekends. However, let’s be happy for the milestone itself. I rode 26 miles today around central NJ, and hit a nice milestone for the year — 200 … Continue reading
I’m trying to be a more professional cyclist so I’m wearing a necktie
Big news: I’m getting in some quality cycling time nowadays. On most weekends, I”m getting away for a few hours to ride the long roads of central NJ. Partly because I want to be on my bike, partly because it’s … Continue reading
