Text of the page (random words):
at produces an amount of sweat that is extremely overwhelming and absolutely disgusting i had rivers of sweat running down my arms and dripping merrily onto the dry dirt floor dabbing the sweat away with a towel helped temporarily but once a few seconds passed my arms became the rio de sweat once more as i kept riding the trainer every day i soon grew accustomed to my new cycling aka sweating regimen i was quite pleased with my bike trainer setup but the children in the village were not only pleased by my shiny red and black bicycle they were enthralled all of them took at least one turn pushing the pedals two of the girls however made it part of their daily routine to gleefully ride my little bikey and once they discovered that three girls could ride on the bike all at the same time they realized my bike was way cooler then i was is there anything more joyful then three little friends giggling on a bike i had to leave the jungle and my newfound friends far too soon but my brazilian bicycle adventures were far from over there were many more memories to make in the last ten days while i was in ji parana in ji parana i rode my bike for real without the turbo trainer for the first time in ten weeks i felt so giddy to be riding down a road with beautiful fields on both sides and with the wind the glorious wind in my face the traffic on the road was light and the cars gave me a respectful berth but at the very end of my ride something happened that shook me to my core i saw a dog i thought the dog hadn t seen me so i kept riding past unperturbed somehow that single dog multiplied suddenly into a pack of three dogs all lean and fast i sprinted with all my might with my vulnerable legs only inches away from a dog s leering teeth foolishly i had provided myself with no protection for such a scenario even my water bottle was tucked into the bag on my back i screamed no at the top of my voice but the dogs didn t even flinch there was no way out but through i went for it accelerating like my life depended on it my life didn t depend on it of course but my left leg sure did the triumph of leaving a pack of athletic dogs in the dust was soon mine and once i could breathe again i looked up to see three guys leaning on their motorcycles laughing at me what to me had been a narrow escape and glorious victory had been to them the unexpected sight of a screaming girl weaving her way amongst three canines feeling that my version of the event was more justified i plastered on a huge smile that hopefully said i was totally in control of the situation and bested those fierce beasts as i passed them by on the rest of the ride i berated myself free roaming dogs in brazil aren t aggressive they just like to chase things if i had slowed down to a boring pace when i first saw that dog my legs would not have been put in such peril lesson learned i decided to continue riding the same route in the days to come to make sure i got over my fear and could put my new plan into action and it was on that very same road that i met a group of cyclists out for a ride i couldn t help myself i had to go talk to them they were very friendly and although i could barely communicate with them camaraderie among cyclists crosses language barriers and we had a great ride together i even tried to tell my dog story to one of them in very very broken portuguese one of the cyclists did speak english and he told me of his travels which have taken him all over even to new york city it was a wonderful experience and i even got invited to come back and ride again sometime two of the group cyclist s photos are courtesy of salles who shared them with me what made my time cycling in brazil really special were all the rides my sister and i went on together most of them were shorter rides running errands all over ji parana but on two occasions we left the city behind and enjoyed a quieter more rural road i might have even been lulled into thinking we were back in lewis county together if it weren t for the tropical trees and pairs of macaws flying overhead as i leave brazil i bid a sorrowful goodbye to this beautiful country and it s wonderful friendly people but most of all to my dear sister it is hard to be excited about returning to the united states even though a bike adventure more thrilling then i ever dreamed is right around the corner it s time for me and a friend to go on a bike tour it s time for mongolia share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in bike ride uncategorized

laying eggs new flowers popping up in every yard the grass is a brilliant hue of green and the trees are beginning to bud the world seems frantically alive with sounds smells and vibrant colors other than a light rain this morning we have had eleven solid days of sunshine my weird cyclist tan lines are coming out of hiding and starting to provoke comments once again squint and you ll miss it the beginning of the wonderful glove tan line but probably the most bizarre thing about having so many sunny dry days in a row is that i haven t washed my bike in forever after getting into a steady routine of cleaning my winter bike every single day the lack of maintenance currently needed is rather off putting i carry my bike up the stairs after a good ride and stare in surprise as i realize that once again she is completely clean it has been so dry that smoky the bear is out in full force to warn of forest fires the wind has been active lately but i have stumbled upon a routine for my rides that makes the wind enjoyable rather than oppressive i used to ride a lot of loops on my days off but this spring i have found out and back routes to be even better i check the wind direction and then choose a road that will take me directly into its path after riding into the wind as far as time and or interest allow i turn around and head home it is an intoxicating feeling to have the wind suddenly at my back the air seems to go still and there is a voice in my head that says go i have realized something about myself it is easy for me to be motivated to ride my bike but it is much harder to be motivated to ride my bike fast i often slow down whenever the going gets rough to give my legs and lungs a break but with a tailwind i don t know exactly why but i can often push past the point of discomfort i think my brain gets so excited with how fast my bike is going with the help of the wind that it forgets to complain so i go as hard as i can and it is incredible i have never been the thrill seeker type so bombing down hills on my bike gives me a rare glimpse into the world of the adrenaline rush my brother and i rode together yesterday we leave for colorado in less than a month so we have been trying to ride as much as possible lately and it was the best fun to feel the wind s power together we came back home feeling like epic beasts share this tweet email a link to a

turned out to be one of those lovely days when i don t have much planned and there is time to take a long leisurely bike ride awhile back i promised a hill that i would come back and climb it someday so i set out this morning just before dawn to fulfill that promise as we all know oaths sworn to hills are legally binding weather wise the day creepily mirrored dan s ride from yesterday there was a light layer of snow on the ground when i left the house and the temperature was in the mid 20 s i had the best seat in the house to watch the sun rise as i climbed along a ridge up out of the valley where i live to my left i watched as the sun rose over the adirondack mountains it was beautiful the thoughts rolling around in my head were not so beautiful my scaredy cat side was out in full force masquerading as common sense i was going into this ride with two issues stiff legs and a minor saddle sore and part of me wanted to abort my mission and head for home but deep down i really wanted a day out on my bike so i set out to manage these nagging issues as best as i could i have found the best way for me to get my legs feeling better is to drop down into a ridiculously low gear and just spin it out and sure enough 20 miles down the road my muscles decided to get back in the game the saddle sore was similarly compliant with a good dosage of cream it stayed calm throughout the entire ride it is weird what games my mind will play on me to try to keep me from doing what i have set out to do the miles flew by and before i knew it i was sailing down the hill into the city of rome i stopped at fort stanwix and meandered about a bit but i couldn t really find anything more exciting than biking to do now it was time to go back toward home and face the hill it turned out much smaller than i thought it would be i got in a good rhythm and had almost made it to the top when i had to stop it wasn t because my legs were unwilling to climb any longer not this time it was because an australian shepherd mix had decided he didn t want me to climb any longer he dashed over and staked out the shoulder of the road as his personal territory barking furiously at me if i dared move an inch there was a time when i was bold in the face of any dog but since being viciously attacked a few summers ago i err on the side of caution and fear grabbing a granola bar i attempted to appease the creature who was staring me down with fierce blue eyes just as i was starting to despair a gentleman pulled his car over and chased the dog away for me i was very grateful indeed although i felt quite silly for not being able to handle the situation myself next time i will be braver hopefully the rest of the ride home was calm and peaceful i love it when an hour or two slips away while steadily pedaling the only part of the ride that wasn t calm and peaceful was discovering my favorite downhill section of road ever technically this hill is smaller than the one going into the city of rome but because of the gradient and great road conditions i was really able to fly down the slope for those few minutes i felt like a bizarre hybrid animal a cross between a charging rhinoceros and a soaring eagle i know i said this the last time i rode this route but i am going to repeat myself i have to bike this way again soon share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email

conquer the snow and cold and i will admit it was scary at first it took time to learn how to deal with riding in freezing weather and my beginning attempt was slightly disastrous but i got the hang of it and by the end of winter i had successfully ridden in 18f by the time this winter rolled around i was raring to go i couldn t wait for a chance to ride in even colder temperatures and set a new personal best but this winter has been a warm one and subzero temperatures have been a rarity with half of february already past i had begun to give up hope of having the opportunity to break last year s record then this weekend a cold front swooped in with the power of a mighty eagle when i got out of work on saturday afternoon the temperature had fallen to 15 that got me to thinking what if the temperature continued to drop overnight like it often does sure enough the forecast for sunday morning was 21 i went to sleep with butterflies in my stomach half from apprehension and half from excitement when morning came i would get my chance maybe my only chance of the season to ride in super cold weather oh man was i really ready for this waking up to a cold apartment felt like a good sign i checked the weather 26 and still dropping i dressed more carefully then i have ever dressed in my life wool socks base layer thick layer windproof layer boots earmuffs balaclava goggles helmet thin gloves thick gloves once everything was precisely in place i carried my bike down the stairs locked the door behind me plunged my hands into my bar mitts and set off down the road the first three miles were spent mentally checking and re checking every part of my body to make sure it was still warm as faint colors started to appear in the eastern sky signaling the beginning of sunrise i began to relax and enjoy the ride i listened to the squeaky sounds of the cold snow under my tires i saw comforting puffs of smoke rising from every home i smelled the tangy sweet scent of silage hay and cows as i passed farms i felt the cold air rush in to fill my lungs as dawn continued to paint the sky i began to feel an inexpressible joy come over me oh what a day to be alive i pedaled on warm and happy well mostly warm every part of me felt fine except for my lower back and butt they were freezing right off i had made a tactical error one of the layers i was using was too short to provide full coverage and the cold air was seeping right through my jacket this turn of events was unexpected and slightly amusing i found that getting out of the saddle to pedal got me feeling warm once more so i spent the rest of the ride alternating between standing and sitting down as i pulled into the parking lot of my church i felt an overwhelming rush of endorphins and with it complete elation fifteen miles in an hour and thirty five minutes at 28f good times share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in bike ride uncategorized tagged

to my brother s basketball game so when i started the morning with an aching brain i was not very pleased if there is one thing i absolutely cannot stand it is the throbbing pain of a headache there are people i know that live with chronic headaches and migraines and i simply don t know how they do it thankfully i rarely have headaches and when i do have one it can always be traced back to one of three causes sickness sleep deprivation or dehydration i felt healthy and i have been sleeping well so the cause of my headache was surely dehydration mild dehydration is pretty easy to fight against just add water for the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon i made sure i drank plenty of fluids and sure enough my nagging headache disappeared then it was time to leave my sister in law
