Max'n and Relax'n

Today has been nothing but chatting and watching kids terrorize one another. During a jump on to the internet highway I found my self here, a New York Times piece on the Iditarod Trail Invitational. Looks insane if you ask me, but I have a lot of admeration for those able to crank out 350 miles in seven days in 6 - 10 inches of snow.

I just checked Bike Iowa website. I'm 1 of 922 readers right now. Looks like I'm not the only one dreaming of warmer days on two wheels. DSM - 28F with 16F windchill.

Merry Christmas to All

Merry Christmas everyone.

What got into me today?

I rode into work today, and it was actually pretty nice. I choose to ride my Trek 6000 (1992) built up with:

1. Sram spectro 7 speed internal hub
2. Serfas drifter tires
3. Platform pedals
4. Planet Bike MTB fenders
5. Nite Rider headlights

More later on how this Frankenstein bike came to be. A Surly Pugsley would be the ultimate snow machine.

Sweet Ride

I went for a ride on 12/13 and brought along my GPS unit. I have figured out a way to download the data from my Garmin etrex legend and create a database for Spotfire to report on. Pretty cool, I'm able to quickly select the ride of interest in see a map and stats instantly. No need to buy Garmin's super fancy training center software.
