Tilt Racing Team
Brandon is a member of the newest racing team in Austin. Tilt Racing. He has come a long way from that youngster who had a difficult time riding the NYC Five Boroughs Tour in 2008.
October in Austin is a great time and with free room and board, it’s also a wonderful vacation spot.
Harmony I’m a day late for the photography 101 posting so I decided to create Home and Harmony. The crocus are in full bloom making a nice contrast to my house.
Let me clear the air about winter riding. When it was cold and there was snow and ice, I was determined to get out and ride. I bought studded tires, rode on them three times and praised their suitability for winter conditions. I lied. I don’t like winter riding on ice and snow. I don’t dislike it either. It’s just something I do. After riding a few days in relatively nice weather I can honestly say that winter biking kind of sucks. But I still do it. Continue reading “Getting Fit”
The so’wester gale was a blow’n. The original plan, hatched yesterday, was to get the road bike ready and begin training for bike events happening soon. I got stuck watching the Davis Cup and before I knew it. It was noontime. I decided that today was not going to be the day for a long ride with sustained winds of 20-25 knots, so I settled on the new Scott bike, I got on my trip to Austin last year, for the short ride to the bank.

I invited a friend who is relatively new to bike riding to join me on the Blackstone River Bikeway in Rhode Island.
“How long is the path” he asked.
“Ten miles”. Continue reading “Bike Riding Is Easy”
I got the Felt road bike all spiffed up for the first road ride of the year. Twenty five miles on the back roads of Southeastern Massachusetts. CLICK HERE to see the map. The winter riding is pretty much easy spins around town. The rest of the year sees those rides but also medium and high mile road rides. These are put the camera away serious rides to build up strength and stamina for the events and bike tours that are on the schedule throughout the summer.
There were a few others out on this very popular bike area. Some roadies, a couple of mothers with their child and what looked like the tail end of a club ride. Twenty five miles at a moderate pace was a nice start to the season.
We are now a team of seven riding the NYC Five Boroughs Tour on May 1st.

The Daily Post Asks. “If you could slow down an action that usually zooms by, or speed up an event that normally drags on, which would you choose, and why?”
When you wait for hours for the race to come to you and it’s gone by in a matter of seconds, you often wish you could hit a button and slow them down just till they pass you. Then let go of the button and they resume at speed.
I do a lot of really unique and cool bike, but there are three that stand out this year.
The NYC Five Boroughs Bike Tour. 32,000 of us bike the 5 boroughs of NYC crossing 5 bridges.
The Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. Just two of us on a week long bike tour.
The Midnight Marathon Bike tour. Riding the Boston Marathon Route at Midnight. Continue reading “Grab Life By The Handlebars”
Toot Your Horn Today’s Daily Post Assignment
Most of us are excellent at being self-deprecating, and are not so good at the opposite. Tell us your favorite thing about yourself.
There was so much failed video during today’s ride I almost scraped the whole daily post. However….. Howwww Ever….. I’m pretty good at winging it when things fail and I decided to make lemonade. Hope you like it. You can get an idea of the cold when I walk into the Destination Soup restaurant and the lens fogs up.

When was the last time your walked away from a discussion, only to think of The Perfect Comeback hours later? Recreate the scene for us, and use your winning line.
I didn’t have a plan for today’s ride. That’s why the beginning is random things about the city. I was drawing a blank and it became clear to let the video tell the story with the music.
