I got out early this morning on the stumpjumper, I rode 9.5 miles on the road. I picked the stumpy today because I neede to check a few adjustments and fine tune them before heading to a trail again. I would really like to get out more, but finding the time is a challenge.

I was going to ride this afternoon, but the Chinese lunch did not agree with that plan, hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and can get out early before the bugs.

finally

Got the road bike out for a quick 5.8 mi. could have gone longer, but it was getting dark. I hit the big hill by our house and maintained 10 mph for the climb except when I stopped to hack out a bug, they were bad. Maybe again Saturday?

The Fort

We went to Fort Custer today and I made it 10 miles off road before I couldn't take it any more. I need to get a few more miles under me before I take another trip to ride. Since this week is bike to work week and there is no way I am riding to work, I am going to try to ride everyday that I can. So far I have plans for Monday, but the rest of the week is open. I should be able to double my miles for the year this week.

I did not make it out this morning, but I have everything ready to go for Fort Custer tomorrow afternoon.

I didn't ride today, but I did go to the bike store. I took the boys and spent more time chasing them than looking at stuff, oh well, I will have to go back solo some time.
Maybe I can sneak out tomorrow morning - weather permitting.

Road Ride

I finally got the Sequoia out for a ride, I made it 7.8 miles. I planned on 5, but kept going. The road bike is much smoother and quieter riding than the mountain bike on the road. Now that I got a start, I will have to try hard to keep it up. We are planning an excursion to Ft. Custer on Sunday afternoon, I don't think I am ready for that yet but we'll see.

Got to do it!

I was going to ride today, but was derailed by a project that took longer than expected. Thursday or Friday look like good weather days, we will see.

Yesterday I busted out the Stumpy and put on 5 miles, the first time out this year. :(
It wasn't too bad, I'll have to get out the road bike next. I figure I will try 5 miles a couple more time and then start to ramp up the miles.

My intention was to ride this morning, but signing up for unemployment took much longer than expected. So I got all my stuf together and will try again tomorrow.

I think my mountain bike is sick. It has been creaking when I pedal, which is an indication of a bad bottom bracket. I tightened the crankarms up and it seems better, i'll have to ride it more and see. I didn't get out this week except to test ride the Stumpjumper. The weather looks good for next week and since my schedule is still open, I am going to try to ride.
