Ice Skating on Two Wheels - Racing the Thaw
Thaw Thursday? Frozen Friday?
Icy trails, squeaky brakes, and a 3 hour training ride cut short due to warming temperatures. When the exposed ground was no longer frozen, it was time to make an exit.
"In Desired Zone" - Tempo Ride in the Snow
First ride on the new training plan back in what I considered my normal power zone. Was NOT planning on recording any video, but the snow made me pull out my phone and press record.
It's moving... but it's stationary... and messing with my head!
What, what?!?
Still working on wrapping my head around this. What an amazing sculpture/piece of art! I walked by this house and out of the corner of my eye saw it do a thing. I walked by a it a couple more times and was amazed. Then I figured I would try to shoot some video... .and this is the result! This piece is on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art and Sculpture Garden on the mall in Washington DC.
After a few warmup intervals, this was the long interval at the end of the session. The goal was 5 minutes, but I blew up at 4:30. It's been fun watching the gains and improving while competing against myself.
Sometimes, getting up and riding into the sunrise paints an amazing image. Sadly, an iPhone isn’t capable of capturing what we are able to experience. This is what my phone was able to capture.
After being reminded that Tumblr exists when a friend was having issues posted, I figured I would log in and see if I could post.
It was then I realized it had been almost eight years since I had last posted.. so here we go. Time to see if this thing is still active.
Oh, and my friend is still having issues posting.
My wife made me an amazing over the #mtb hill birthday cake complete with mini-oreo 29ers! Love that woman. #birthday #birthdayboy #lifebehindbars #mtb #cake #birthdaycake #mountainbike #family #fourty #ifeelold #foodporn #foodphotography (at Michigan)
After a trip to my #lbs to verify it was just exposed carbon and a scrubbing with rubbing alcohol, the latest battle scars are on #stumpy are now at least sealed up with some carbon #epoxy. I do have some model paint to touch it up when this riding season ends (or I take a brake and ride skinny tires.) #specialized #specializedbikes #hashtag #lifebehindbars #stumpjumperht #stumpjumperexpertcarbon #29er #rockshox #brain #cardio #bestgymever #mtb #mtblife #iphone7 #iphone7plus #hardtail #hardtailmtb #scosche #iamspecialized #iamspecialized_mtb
