My Longest Ride Yet – 42 miles and 2500 Vertical
Wish I woulda got more sleep — and the first 10 miles my breaks were acting weird — but once that was fixed — all good — I actually rocketed through most of this ride — although the last 10 miles were kinda tough… lotta climbing. Feeling great today though!

No Hill Left Standing
OK, I think I did every hill within 5 miles of my house today. Took it pretty easy and should have probably gone longer.. but I need to get to work.

Hacking the Gibson aka – Announcing Cycle OverRide!!!
Welcome to Cycle Override, a series of long distance bicycle rides aimed at raising money for charity and raising awareness of information security issues… and probably decreasing some waistlines in the process.
Our first ride will be a fun, 25 mile ride in Las Vegas on the Thursday before DefCon. The other rides will be more serious, starting with a 400 mile ride this fall. On the longer rides we will be stopping by hacker spaces and schools to give talks and generally just geek out. Check out our ride schedule for more info on our rides. And let us know if you’re interested in participating in part or all of a ride.
Comments are welcome. Check back for updates and follow us on Twitter for up to the minute info.

My First 40 Mile Ride
So I started biking 30 years ago. Only 2 months ago though – I discovered road biking. Tommorow is my first 40 miler.

I’m not going for any sort of records — but after 2 weeks off prior to this week due to a sprain ankle, I have been riding awesome all week! Not sure if it was the rest or the addition of protein shakes — but I’m riding stronger and faster this past week.
Here’s the Tour de Cure ride I’m doing tmrw morning:
