Iron Rider: August 2015
http://eprider.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Writing from a mid-life cyclist. Vélocio's Seven Commandments of Cycling. Something to think about. Sunday, August 30, 2015. Living the dream. One account of Paris-Brest-Paris. I thought I was prepared. I was wrong. One cannot simply ride this route whenever one chooses and then claim to have ridden PBP. PBP is more than a bike ride. PBP is an entire region of France coming out to welcome and support a diverse collection of worldwide adventurers. PBP is a moment in time. PBP takes place outside of time.

Writing from a mid-life cyclist. Vélocio's Seven Commandments of Cycling. Something to think about. Tuesday, June 2, 2015. Middletown 200K - Sunday ride. Sunday, May 24, 2015. With the climbfest Boston 400K on the calendar for the next weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to get in a hilly 200K to test my heart monitor controlled pace on a more challenging route and, hopefully get in safety 200K to keep my monthly streak alive. The ride starts in Morgantown, Pennsylvania. The plain people,. We almo...

Writing from a mid-life cyclist. Vélocio's Seven Commandments of Cycling. Something to think about. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. New York City 200K - The touch of light. Crossing the George Washington Bridge to enter the city, the sun lies just below the horizon. Even now there are walkers, riders and, of course, cars on the bridge. It is just after 6 am on a Sunday morning but, the city that never sleeps - never sleeps. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Pennsylvania, United States. Area Woma...

Iron Rider: Hawk Mountain 200K - Digging the well
http://eprider.blogspot.com/2015/07/hawk-mountain-200k-digging-well.html
Writing from a mid-life cyclist. Vélocio's Seven Commandments of Cycling. Something to think about. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Hawk Mountain 200K - Digging the well. We dig the well of our personal reserve to the depth. And breadth of our experience". Chris N. (from PA) answered the group email request for company. But the night before, he sent a text saying that stomach problems might keep him from making the 5:30 start. So, at 4:00 am, I drove in the dark prepared to solo the course. The horizon cradled t...

B2B Ironman Race Report - The Icing on The Cake
http://www.annsrunningcommentary.com/the-icing-on-the-cake-b2b-race-report
Giving Back ». B2B Ironman Race Report – The Icing on The Cake. October 24, 2012. Last October when I told my friend Ron Bowman about my DNF at Ironman Austria. He told me that the race is just the icing on the cake. I had done all the work and I should give myself credit for that. But the truth is I just couldn’t do that. I did not believe him and I still felt like a failure for that DNF. This year as I prepared for the Beach to Battleship 140.6. Was the hardest and most rewarding day of my life. But th...

My riding kit | The Massive MTBer (Don't ever Stop.)
https://massivemtber.wordpress.com/my-riding-kit
The Massive MTBer (Don't ever Stop.). From fat to fit, by bike…. Here’s the kit I use in the months of October/November to March/April, including 2 of the worst winters in a generation. Not only did I survive I enjoyed it. Let’s start with the feet, I suffer from cold toes, so I pay particular attention to these! I brought these over a year ago from Aldi’s cycle sales, but any good quality sports sock would do, they get used on their own in the summer too. We do struggle for good sizing and fit. The ...

https://massivemtber.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/the-place-im-at
The Massive MTBer (Don't ever Stop.). From fat to fit, by bike…. Saturday 3rd of March. The place I’m at…. March 15, 2012. What to say, the last 6 months have been a total upheaval. House move, losing my job, twice! Dealing with a close family member’s mental health issues, scrabbling for time to pedal, do my rugby coaching and last but not least, be a Husband and Father. Nothing the average modern family doesn’t have deal with I might add. There’s nothing special about us…. Provisional start date is nex...

About Me - The Fat Cycle Rider
http://www.fatcyclerider.co.uk/p/about-me.html
Fat to Fit by bicycle. The Fat Cycle Rider. At 31 years old and 21 stone I decided I had to get fit and lose some weight. I got a bicycle and hope this will be the start of the rest of my life! Me when I got my bike at almost 21st. My name is Toby. Welcome to my online diary of going from fat to fit using a bike. I work in IT and sit at a desk all day. I used to drive everywhere since I got a car at the age of 17. Before then I had bikes all my life and had to ride or walk instead. Me at the age of 17 on.
