I woke up to rain, and that was the story of the day on Ride the Rockies Day 3 Hotchkiss to Gunnison. It rained, not hard, but it was wet out there. It was also one of the most beautiful rides I’ve ever been on. There was plenty of climbing, but it was easy compared…
There are no words that can describe the misery that was Ride the Rockies Day 2 Grand Juction to Hotchkiss. I went up, and up, and up. And what goes up must come down right? Yeah for like 5 minutes. All I can say is this was a hard ride, one of the most difficult I’ve…
I’m excited for Ride the Rockies 2015, because it will take me to places I’ve never seen before. The first stop was Grand Junction and Colorado National Monument. It did not disappoint, it was breathtaking. I wanted to get to bed early so I could get a solid start in the morning. I ended up…
We were up before the sun at 4am: bags and bikes packed. I was nervous for the Elephant Rock Century Ride June 7, 2015. Less nervous than last year, but still nervous. See, I took an entire month off the bike to travel through Europe, to “find myself,” but really, instead, I just found myself…
It’s the Eve of Ride the Rockies 2015! And I’m in Grand Junction, CO. I’ve driven through but never spent anytime here. I’m looking forward to this year’s ride because I’ll bee seeing new parts of Colorado, parts I’ve never seen before. It also looks like a challenging route, and day two lis a bit…
I don’t like having limited time to ride. That’s life though, there is only so much time. I want to get out there and spend the day riding. But obligations to family and friends makes it difficult. It’s important to mange the time on and off the bike to keep yourself and everyone else happy….
For the fourth weekend in a row, I headed out to conquer Lookout Mountain. The plan was to do the climb twice, but the mountain had other plans. Jessica and I set out about 9am, the air was cool, but perfect weather for riding. We cruised along making our way to Lookout Mountain. We got…
I had high expectations for milage this weekend. The weather was on point Saturday, but Sunday was a different story. The plan was to do a climb on Saturday, Lookout Moutain. Then a long ride on Sunday. I wanted to try a new route, so we were going to explore south of Parker on the…
Colorado is great for many reasons, but one of the best is our 300 days of sunshine. This past weekend was no exception. The weather was just about perfect for cycling, not to hot, but not too cold. I’ve been a little behind on my rides this year, so I needed to log some serious…
It’s March, the weather is amazing, Let Spring Training Commence! The end of February was filled with snow, ice and crappy weather. I was anxious to get back on the bike, but was stuck inside on the trainer. Don’t get me wrong, I love to ride, even inside, but there is something about being outside on…
