Ride Time

Will be down here at Tranq ridding to night,,  hope to see ya

T.N.R

Hooked up with Dave and Linda for a great ride down at TP.  The place was packed and the trail was in pretty good shape.  There was only a few wet spots, I can't believe that the trail was in that good of condition after the winter we had. Now have to wait for the snow to melt again...

Enjoyable ride

Met up with dale for a nice short cruse North and West of town.  The North wind made it kinda chilly, but it was great to get out.  Looking forward to next week.

Let's go for a ride

Going to head out for a ride Sunday afternoon. Might ride down to Bennington lake and ride around.  Heck I don't care, just want to ride.. Want to join??????    (Weather permitting)

Sunday Ride

Met up with Paul for a nice ride North and West of town.  The conditions were perfect. Rode up to the reserve  base  off hwy 31 and checked out the antennas. We took Ida back and rode a little section of  gravel.  It wasn't as wet as I thought  it would be.  The snow is melting fast,  spring is just around the corner...

Ride

 

Okay I thinking of doing another Sunday afternoon ride again.  Maybe go down the big Pap, West Pap, Take Maple street down to Hi -way 31 and back Ida, heck I don't, I just want to ride.. Anybody want to join??

Met up with the crew on Sunday for a ride down to Zorinski on the West Pap trail.  Some of the trail was cleared and some was not.  It was fun ridding on the snow packed trail, technical riding in a way.  Some of the bridge underpasses were real icy and made it real interesting. My rear derailleur shifter broke and the front one froze up on the way back..... Had a great ride.  Lets do it again.

Sunday Ride

Thinking about going for a ride Sunday afternoon if is not too cold.  Planning on going North of town or down the Big Pap trail.  Want to Go?

Time for a new bike?

Guys, I need to make a decision today. Do i buy this TREK bike; its a 2009 model and they are selling it for 600 off retail.

I'd have to pay an additional $70 to have it shipped to Omaha from the St. Louis trek store.

What say you? I was secretly planning on buying a GF X Caliber - and went to the Omaha store to see the one they had on sale. It was too big. I need a 19!~

old dog, new trick...

Taught my dog a new trick, I guess you could call this mushing. Whatever it is scout loves it. He is fast, I clocked him at 25 mph (Downhill)by my bike cpu. This should come in handy on my 4 th or 5 th lap of the marathons this year.

It was nice to meet you guys last night!

Great to see you guys again:

Dale,

Dave

Paul

Greg

and nice to meet you guys:

Todd

Mike

I figured that for the extra two pieces of pizza I ate last night, plus the extra beer(s) I had ought to do some work today. (I'm not counting the chicken wings as they are small and don't have much meat on them!) I pulled out COACH Troy and did 60 of his 90 minute Spinnervals 5.0 DVD - Mental Toughness. Per my flakey Heart-Rate Monitor I burned 738 calories and per my cycling computer I rode 14.5 miles.

I hope to be in the middle of the pack come the gravel ride that we have coming in the future!

Do any of you guys have any of the other Spinnervals DVD's that may want to Loan out? I also have 9.0 and its 120 mins.

Guerrilla Trail Crew - Awesome Idea

Some fellow Omaha bike riders have started this blog and movement. Clear the Multi Use trails in the metro Area.

They are working on the WEST PAPIO trail this Sunday @ 1 p.m.; I may try to help if I'm not running around looking at wood for our next weekend project at my GMA's house.

You should too! Or at least I should, as I use the trail often!

Winter Weight Loss Plan

Not for me, for the bike. I am still a Clydesdale (over 200 lbs), but the bike doesn't have to be. Bought some shiny bits for my bike, I dropped about 1 1/2 pounds off it. I cant wait to ride it and see if I can tell the difference.

Wings

Dmars and I are heading over to the Pizza Gourmet this Friday evening for some wings, beer, and bike talk. You want to join in the fun?

Snow Snow, I wish you would go away.

All this cold weather and piles and piles of snow has kept me from riding outdoors. I wish that it would warm up soon at least get up to 30 degrees or so. Any way, I been riding in front of the TV a bunch lately and thinking how nice it would be to ride outside. O ya, we should hook up some weekend night for some good ol hot wings. Sound good...Lets get planning..
