Getting Back At It...

Well the past year was rather a difficult time for me so I was a bit out of touch. Hopefully with the new riding season coming up I will be a bit better at writing.

Looking to start a local group to ride. Going to do Saturday Morning rides.

Ride On!

Sore feet

Continuing to climb at the gym once or twice a week, I felt like I wasn't making much progress. I made lots of excuses, one of them being the "big clown shoes" that I was using. Sure they seemed pretty snug compared to, say, bowling shoes, but standing on the smallest of footholds felt like standing on ball bearings. So last week I bought a new pair of climbing shoes one size down. They look tiny compared to my regular shoes, but they've instantly upped my climbing ability by a whole level. Now the tiny footholds feel like stairs coated in superglue. The downside? The angry red spots on the tops of my toes. If I get calluses in the right places, I'll be good to go.

Dust off the blog

A temporary end to excuses is at hand. I have now biked (triked) to work 3 tines, twice this week since I am down to grad school once a week for now. It is less than 20 miles round trip but better than nothing. At my best (today) I barely averaged 10.1 mph according to the stats but it is a start.
