Cycling War Stories 06-22-08

Good weekend for riding here in KC. Saturday found me on a lovefest with what was supposed to be a Team Lockton ride but my friends comprised the pack. Tiffany Springs to Camden Point and back... easy 40....

Sunday was no such cake walk

John and I rode from Brookside out around Belton and back (The infamous "hard nine" and points beyond).... this was a leg cooking 40 miles. Lots of big ring work (according to my buddies I need to stop spinning such a "pussy gear" -thanks Rob- and use these big-assed legs I have to push a harder gear ratio). Great ride. John was not wanting to go as hard as me but we still dialed it up plenty... oh yeah the early morning rains caused us to be grimy bastards when we returned. Sweat, water, mud, bugs.... good stuff

10 am return... beers
Hose off
Hot tub
Food

5pm.. time for a 20-ish mile recovery ride (Ward parkway to the Plaza up Brookside boulevard... rinse and repeat) to keep the legs limber for another week of commuting to Overland park. Commuting would be a good topic for discussion as everyone would like to ride to work on a bike but most are afraid, lazy, or their employer does not facilitate it... that is another topic.

Welcome to my blog

Hello everyone,

I am on a new kick to really try to start networking and staying in touch with people, and a blog seems to be a good outlet for that... not to mention the cathartic benefit of writing about yourself.

So what can you expect? what topics will I profundicate about?
Bikes, Design, Work, More bikes, Music, yadda yadda yadda

Thanks for reading.
