ALTOONA, PENNSYLVANIA This was the day that I had been planning for months. Seeing Union Pacific’s iconic Big Boy locomotive in Altoona. It was a bonus that I saw Big Boy in Duncannon, Pa, three days ago on its way from Harrisburg (Enola) to Altoona. I took that opportunity in case today was a bad-weather […]

BRIANÇON, FRANCE I will be joining other passionate cyclists and riding Cykelnerven in June. It is one of Europe’s most challenging events and raises money for the MS International Federation (MSIF). Over four days in June we will tackle some of the toughest mountains that will be used in this year’s Tour de France. There […]
RESTON, VIRGINIA It’s new bike day. To be honest, I wish it hadn’t come to this but Trek would warranty my 2014 Trek Domane due to bottom bracket issues. So, let’s make the best of it. The new bike arrived. The setup is pretty much the same as the bike I gave up. New Bike […]

CLERMONT, FLORIDA The Horrible Hundred occurs over two days if you include the Saturday orientation rides. Those are delightful and, like group rides, occur under adult supervision. Not so the Sunday ride. I stayed at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Clermont, a four-mile ride from the hotel to start. With chilly temperatures (low 50s) […]

I was to meet Anthony Venida and waited at the starting chute with Robert Hess who was riding the family route which departed a little later. Entrance between two hangers. Start/Finish is on the other side. […]
THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA Last year I came for the weekend and rode the longer route (Chocolate Chip Cookie) on Saturday. Having done that route, it made sense to try the other route this year, the Sugar Cookie. I stayed at a Homewood Suites in Thousand Oak and mapped out a route to bike to registration. […]
