Southern Cache Valley Wandering
The thermometer dropped from the 80s to the 60s this week so the mornings are cool. I put in a few miles before the sun starts cooking us again. The ride – Paradise and some other climbs The bike – Time VRS Fluidity

On the Road Again
The Time has been sitting in the garage, alone, for a long time. Today it was time for us to spend time together.

Just enough time for Paradise
With many a Saturday chore ahead of me I woke up with just enough time to make a loop on the Time out to Paradise. Sadly, I will be off the bike for most of next week while I attend a work conference. I will miss my bikes. The ride – Paradise The bike – Time VRS Fluidity

In search of horse power (since I have none)
When legs, heart and lungs are all in sync and the bike perfectly tuned, the euphoric hum of the road leaves you with a sensation of flying over the asphalt. I like those days. Today was not one of them. Every, “shut up legs,” was met with an equally powerful, not family friendly response from my quads. I gave up on pushing at all and

Running out the meter
Sometimes it is about the numbers. I was so close to 50 miles as I got closer to home that I couldn’t help but throw on a few miles. The problem is that all the roads are torn up or covered in mud because they were recently torn up. After dodging the junk I scored an extra mile and crossed the 50 barrier. Then I
