Cycling information...

For a while I've been toying with the idea of writing more about cycling than I have in the past - as I seem to have developed a passion for the sport - but too much of any one thing isn't good in a blog (as evidenced by my earnest desire to avoid to

7 hills (+4) and 29 undulations of Kirkland, 2007 edition

Today I did my first hard ride of the year, the 11-hill version 58-mile "metric century" 7 hills ride. Last year I did CTS training , and while it did great for my aerobic endurance, I didn't think it had enough strength work or interval work. This year

This too will come to pass...

This year, I got into RAMROD (though it should more correctly be named "Ride on the Eastside of Mount Rainier in One Day because the roads are washed out" - I guess ROTEMROD isn't terribly catchy...), which features (among other things) a climb up Sunrise

A short little ride

I wrote about the Seattle Randoneeur group last fall when they did the Populaire. And I think I probably wrote something about the relative insanity of riding a 1000K course. So, how about 2519 miles in 22 days down the continental divide on a single-speed

Tour of the Evergreens

There's a group organized to put on a yearly stage race in Washington State. Tour of the Evergreens They're looking for some donations to help make it happen, and for help designing a logo. This will be very cool if they can pull it off.

Studious sloth

Yesterday, I had the chance to go on the Kitsap Kolor Klassic (really, the Kitsap Color Classic), but I didn't. Excuses were proffered and accepted. I was tired from all the rides I'd done. I needed to work on my deck. I had family committments. All were

SIR Mountain Populaire 2006

Today, I rode the Mountain Populaire 100K, put on by the Seattle International Randonneurs . Randonneuring is a long-distance cycling discipline that originated in France (hence the name) way back in the 1800s. It's organized around a series of rides

Fun with a ISU Inclinometer

For a while now, you've been able to buy digital levels . Amazingly, they will display angles within 0.1 degree. As some of you know, I've been on a quest for a good way of mapping hills, and I found that you can order up a inclinometer from the same

Summits of Bothell 2006

Yesterday I rode the Summits of Bothell . Like its more popular cousin to the south, S (I'm not a big fan of "cute" acronyms so I'm not going to use it...) is a ride focused around hills, originally 7 but now 8 in a bid to outdo the competition. Their

Carmichael Training Systems Review

Carmichael Training Systems "Classic" Review www.trainright.com This spring, I decided to pony up some money for a real training plan, rather than the "just ride" approach that I've used in the past. I looked at a few options. If you want to interact
