Biking

Well about 3 weeks ago I got back on my bike and went biking with some friends, well we pushed my limits and did 17 to 18 miles on that first day. Well for the next 2 weeks my right knee was in major pain, so bad that at times I could not walk. Well[…]

Finally

I just got my bike out of the shop today, I dropped if off on the 12, need a new rear wheel casset, new chain, another tune up for the year, and I was hoping they could work on the front derailer. Well they did get all that done, and finally the front derailer works[…]

Don’t bike for a day and your legs will never forgive you

Well for the last 2 days I been doing alot of sitting, I have not gotten any biking in at all, and right now my legs are killing me for it. You would think that not biking would not cause pain, but for me for some stupid reason, it hurts when I don’t bike.

Biking and stuff

I know I have not posted much on it, but I am still biking alot, I bike to work every day. I have not done as much biking as of late as I would like to have, but I have a lot of other things on my plate, and I do want to dedicate a[…]

Todays bike ride

Today our church had it’s annual picnic, well I talked a friend of mine from church into biking up to it, it only took about 1 hour and fifteen minutes. At the place we had the picnic they also had a pool, so Joe and I ended up swimming for about 3 hours before riding[…]

Got my first bike ride in for the year

Well I biked to work for the first time this year, it was great to pull the bike out of storage and bike to work, what a thrill, there is nothing like a great morning bike ride, I pity the people that have to drive to work. I will update the mile count on top[…]

The last miles of my biking this year just put up

I just entered the last 31.09 miles from my bike computer up here so my total miles for this year are 1045.10 for the year, so I guess for next year my goal should be 1200 miles.

Today probably will be my last day biking to work this season

Well since the daylight change, and that the sun is setting so close to 5, and that it is getting colder, I think the biking season is over for me. I will probably just walk to work for the winter. I will put the last of my miles up later.

My Biking Goal for the year

At the beginning of the biking season I said I would like to see if I could reach 1000 miles this year. Well as of last Wednesday (yes I wanted to put this up, I have been very busy as of late) not only did I reach that goal but I also started going over[…]

Mistake on my bike ride to work today

As the temperatures are going down I don’t think I want to wear shorts in the morning. So I put on my jeans, but that was a big mistake I did not know it really till the ride home, but since there was no room in the leg, the bike ride home was not comfortable,[…]

I just passed 900 miles Friday

Well as of Friday (Sep 8) I went past 900 miles on my way to the goal of 1000 miles biked this year. I am wondering something when I hit the 1K mark should I just put “1000 miles goal reached” or should I just keep accumulating the numbers over 1000.

Today’s WPLUG Open Source Picnic

Today WPLUG had it’s 5 annual picnic. Also today I biked up to it for the second year in a row I biked up to it. This year I got some one else to go with me. I am really happy with how well I did on the ride today, we went up 18th street,[…]

Floyd Landis wins the Tour de France

Well not only does the US keep the yellow jersey, Pennsylvania own Floyd Landis wins, from what I under stand he is from Landcaster PA. PA rules. The Tour this year was really exciting, and very close.

Got a new rear wheel cassette

I went up to Bike Tec (the bike shop I always go to, they are good people and know what they are doing) because I was having trouble with the rear wheel cassette for my bike. When ever I switched into gear 7 on the back the chain would slip. When I went up saying[…]
