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.

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..
