Cykelnerven
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 […]
Meet the Domane
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 […]
Goodbye Domane
RESTON, VIRGINIA I loved my bike. I thought my 2006 Trek Pilot was feeling its age back in 2013, although it was only seven years old. I would buy it again but Trek had retired the model and made the Domane its endurance bike. At the Curve I had crashed and broke my collarbone on […]

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. […]
Phil’s Sugar Cookie
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. […]
Piqua Redux
PIQUA, OHIO This was simple enough. I came to Piqua to rid myself of ghosts. Or demons. Great Miami River Trail, Piqua I woke up here in May 2018. I had no clue I was in Ohio. At that time I was riding on the Great Miami River Trail. Retired Piqua police officer, Paul Sullenberger, […]
Luxembourg American Cemetery
This was a rest day so we would only ride 28 miles. Tell that to your friends who can’t imagine riding 28 miles – on our rest day that’s what we did. And it was easy. Fränk Schleck, Barry Sherry, Andy Schleck Fränk Schleck met us in the morning at the bike room at the […]
