I’ll admit that I haven’t been watching/keeping up with the TdF this year, too busy. But I HAD to share this video of Bicycle Ballet. Who knew the bicycle could be such an amazing dance partner? Huge props to this athlete – I wonder how many times she fell while training. My joints hurt just…
This cracks me up. I’d love to see this happening at one of the major tours. I can see it now – Domino’s sponsors the USA team, has Domino’s delivered during one of the stages and they eat it on the bike. HAHAH Cyclists vs. Food
Yup. That’s right. This is a review of an article I stumbled across on Yahoo that dictates how we can look chic on a bike. Outfit One I won’t include the cost of the stupid bike, because I assume you, dear reader, already has a bike. This trendy outfit will only set you back $823.…

What is it with trying to buy women specific cycling clothes online? I keep finding the most inane pictures. The following are all stolen from TheClymb.com . Check out this stupid Castelli shirt pic.

While watching Stage 3 of the Tour de France 2014, I couldn’t help but notice the gorgeous, wide shoulders (and large frame) of the stage 3 winner – Marcel Kittel. I promptly looked for more info about this sexy beast of a cyclist and found out he is 6’2″! That is very tall for a…

I was biking up La Tuna Canyon (from Sun Valley) when my Garmin 500 detected a heart rate monitor. “Silly Garmin”, I thought, “I am not wearing a heart rate monitor today” Then you showed up.. .biking by me like I was standing still. It then clicked – you must have been wearing a heart…
After several months with the stupid back injury, I finally went up and did a reverse loop of one of my favorite stretches of Mulholland Highway. Here is a link to my Garmin ride stats – YES I know I was morbidly slow but I am just getting back out there. AT LEAST I FINISHED…
Last week some friends invited me to go to Palm Springs with them. I thought, hey why not bring my bike and see what biking Palm Springs is all about? I checked out some of the local cycling groups routes and printed them out ahead of time. I also checked on Google for the bike…

I was doing a lot of trail biking before sciatica hit (a little over two months ago). Sciatica is a general term for lower back pain caused by the sciatic nerve being pinched. It’s pretty darn painful and has kept me off my feet for several weeks. Well, it still hurts but I’m sick of…
