category archives 30 days post navigation older posts april is over posted on may 1 2015 by bribikes 13 today is the first day of may that is pretty exciting but that also means that the month of april and 30 days of biking are over i am so glad i decided to bike every day this month because it got rid of the question should i bike today the reality is that every day is a great day to get out for a ride and this month confirmed that for me at the start of april i thought it would be awesome if i could maintain a 20 mile daily average through the month but then i let logic kick in which informed me that there was no way i could get in that many miles so i set my goal for the month at five hundred miles here s the cool thing i totaled up all my biking for the month and i made it i ended up getting an average of 20 miles per day with my total for the month at 606 miles which makes april a record breaking month for me i can t wait to see how this coming month will turn out in other news my dad and i were able to visit a few bike shops yesterday i was able to ride a few bikes talk to some smart biking people and get a much better sense of what kind and size of bike i am looking for my fingers are crossed and hopefully i will have a new road bike soon it was great fun to hang out with my dad and see him talk bike in the stores he used to commute by bike and cycle around with some guys from work back before the size of my family exploded so i always learn something by talking to him about bikes he has been overwhelmingly helpful through this whole bike buying business i have no idea how i could do this without him share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in 30 days tagged 30daysofbiking 13 replies the joy of a quiet morning posted on april 28 2015 by bribikes 14 i woke up this morning headed out the door and jumped on my bike with a plan a plan to wander oh the joy of being on a bike with no destination in mind just the wind at my back and the warm spring sun on my face i ended up going down some roads i hadn t biked for years the hills seem smaller now okay most of the hills seem smaller now there was still one hill that almost defeated me honestly though it felt so good to climb a hill with sweat dripping off my forehead tis the season for perspiring stomach grumbling i went off the road and into the woods to eat breakfast sitting on a moss covered rock with trees all around me was the perfect way to enjoy a morning snack back on the road school buses rushed past me men in pickup trucks flew by probably on their way to work it is a busy world out there it reminded me how blessed i am to have the morning to myself to explore and wander the back roads of my county to my heart s content share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in 30 days tagged 30daysofbiking biking cycling 14 replies winter isn t quite finished posted on april 23 2015 by bribikes 13 winter saw an opportunity and took it as i started climbing upward on my bike this morning i noticed a light dusting of snow covering the hillside i wasn t too surprised since the forecast was predicting snow for today i also wasn t surprised when a few snowflakes started drifting down from the sky what did catch me off guard was the full blown snow storm that i found myself in thirty minutes later good thing i thought to bring my ski goggles just in case the higher up the plateau i went the windier and snowier the conditions became it felt so good to be back in the midst of swirling snowflakes again i explored a few back roads and then returned to the main road i biked for a few more miles uphill against the wind which was kind of fun because i knew that once i turned around i would have smooth sailing on the way home the snow died down after falling steadily for two hours i am sure it won t stick around for too long with the dangerous spring sun out and smiling but man winter put on a good show the best part is that i got to experience it all on my bike seeing the ground turn from a eager green back to pristine white was a lovely thing not that it was all good i found out my dad s clipless shoes aren t rated for below freezing temperatures my toes got the bad end of the deal share this tweet email a link to a friend

at the cows dan but i did say hi so i think i am covered my left wrist firmly believes that breaking my fall on sunday was a heroic enough effort to exclude it from normal pushup duties so while my wrist is resting on its laurels i see lots of planking and single leg squats in my future i discovered today while doing squats that my right leg is noticeably stronger and steadier than my left leg i wonder if i should try to balance my legs out by working my left leg more the hybrid has returned to its rightful owner so it is back to my bike and clipless pedals the lady told me that i could keep using her bike until i got a new bike but i don t think it is such a great idea to switch between using flat and clipless pedals at this stage in the game i feel like my brain will get confused for the next few weeks i am going to focus on climbing hills as fast and hard as i can to prepare my legs for the bigger gears that i will be using when i get my new bike i was able to climb a few decent hills this morning and i have a nice one planned for tomorrow good times share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in 30 days upper body

strong wind blew me over to the restaurant and i arrived ten to fifteen minutes earlier than i expected to but what was a lovely tailwind coming into work became a raging headwind on the return trip home funny how that works during the work day i had a good idea of what i was in for on the ride home so i started mentally preparing myself it might be tough but it will be good for you build those muscles kid i often call myself kid during internal dialogues thinking back on some of my seemingly endless windy spring rides from last year i hopped on my bike at the end of the day with some measure of dread as a bike commuter headwinds are to me what rush hour traffic is to a motorist they guarantee a long commute home the stronger and more persistent the wind is the more frustrating and impatient i can become to arrive home and get stuff done but i think winter biking has messed with my physiological makeup somehow no matter how hard the wind blew 36 mph with gusts nearing 50 mph and how hard i had to fight against it i could not find any shred of impatience or frustration to latch onto i was fighting the wind physically but i didn t need to battle it mentally when there was an occasional crosswind i found myself leaning and against it and grinning winter biking taught me to accept the weather to accept the road to accept the time it takes to get home no matter how long that may be to make the journey an enjoyable thing something worth remembering rushing home just getting those ten miles over and done with so that i can move on to the next thing isn t my default anymore have i ever told you that i love winter share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in 30 days tagged 30daysofbiking biking cycling winter

about the countryside at one point my journey had an actual destination but i got sidetracked along the way i found a sandy trail to bike on which then turned into a weird form of downhill cyclocross through the woods once my bike and i made it safely down the hill we came across a trail of ice nice i don t think this was ever intended to be a trail of any sort it was great to be out in the backwoods of my county exploring to my heart s content there were whitetail deer calmly grazing american kestrels looking for prey and turkey vultures feasting on some dead animal racing down twisting country lanes with no idea what will be around the next corner that is where it s at i use the term racing very loosely of course 39 miles of fun and just as i got back into town sleet snow started to fall what can i say i have good timing after my ride i was out walking my dogs and it struck me how much my definition of fun has expanded fun used to mean watching a movie reading a book cooking food and hanging out with my friends and family those things are still fun but now fun also includes spending hours on the saddle in below freezing temperatures share this tweet email a link to a friend

little chicken the past week leaving work i was exhausted that condition disappeared once i started pedaling however biking home is a great way to perk up after my work day no matter the season but biking home the spring edition it more than perked me up it gave me so much energy i might not sleep tonight first i went down another abandoned snowmobile trail which happened to be covered by melting ice it was the largest sheet of ice my bike and i have been on so far in the spirit of experimentation i stopped abruptly several times and took a few fast corners nope those studs would not give an inch of ground good going little tires then i spotted canadian geese returning from their southern journey i think the proper name is canada geese but around here we call them canadian geese also i saw pygmy goats frolicking around outside i am guessing it was their first day out of the barn this year i didn t take any pictures though because their owners were outside with them and flowers spring flowers are coming up beautiful crocuses are here i saw them with my own two eyes when people talk to me about my bike commuting they often say but you must be so tired after working all day yup sometimes i am that s why i need to bike home share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in 30 days commute tagged biking

horizon just as i pulled into church the whole way i was singing probably off key this easter song and death itself would start working backward the lion the witch and the wardrobe share this tweet

melted it is warm enough for fog to exist again i got to bike through some nice dense patches this morning i have always liked the feeling of being swallowed by fog with its air of mystery the only downside to fog is the lack of visibility and prior to this winter i was always a little fearful biking in such conditions this morning however i was as confident as could be winter has taught me how to be cautious but fearless the grass is getting greener every day this afternoon the temperature soared to 55 degrees i left work wearing a t shirt and pants with the sun shining brightly i felt warm from something other than my body heat so weird a cool wind blew over my arms and around my ears man that felt great i pedaled home faster then i have since the beginning of november first spring cyclist sighting on the ride home i passed two cyclists going in the opposite direction gotta admit when i see a cyclist decked out in an official looking jersey on a nice road bike i get just a tiny bit star struck have they actually won races i have no idea but they look like they have which is good enough for me but how do i know for sure that spring is for real a bug flew into my eye yup spring is officially a thing share this tweet email a link to a friend opens in new window email share on tumblr like loading posted in 30 days commute tagged bicycle bicycling cycling 22 replies post
