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 already have 87 miles in this week so it will also be my longest week and ride yet! 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:

Rain Rain Go Away
I’m training for the Masochistic Metric Century in 2 weeks. Was hoping to get 44 miles in today, but left late b/c of rain and stopped early because of rain. Still, it was a decent ride with some good climbs. Hope JP’s ride goes better.

Thanks to our first Sponsors!
As you are discovering this site — we want to point you to our initial sponsors.
A big shout out to:
Bike Hugger – Bike Hugger is bike culture blogged. As a group blog, with different voices, we cover diverse topics, but the bike centers us. You won’t find a marketing box to put us in or a label to slap onto what we do. We’re likeBoing Boing and the bike is the context. We try to do interesting, epic stuff.
We also believe the bike is a connector with web designers, developers, and creative professionals. That’s why you’ll find us at events like SXSW, WebVisions, and NXNE.
ShmooCon – ShmooCon is an annual east coast hacker convention hell-bent on offering three days of an interesting atmosphere for demonstrating technology exploitation, inventive software and hardware solutions, and open discussions of critical infosec issues. ShmooCon strives to bring new ideas and new researchers in to the public eye. The volunteers behind the conference work to make ShmooCon as interesting, relevant, and useful to the security community as possible. While parts of the conference may be a little out of the ordinary (like providing attendees with portable whiteboards to assist with expressing their opinions to speakers and each other) the organizers hope the conference challenges the status quo and leaves the attendees with a different view of the world.

It’s not a dry heat
It’s already 87degrees outside with a dewpoint of 73. Apparently I just biked through soup.
