same ride as always with a few extra side paths... My back started hurting about half way up the right side. I might run into the bike shop to get my fit checked (and to make sure that they remember my face.) ...checked my jersey after the ride... couldn't find ANY dry places... gotta love the heat/humidity... oh, and my gloves are starting to smell... maybe time to throw them in the wash...

Good ride on the usuial interior loop twice, then once around the park. Cut somewhat short because of the heat... and the bump that I hit that I think knocked my wheel out of true... time to go back to maplewood.

Rode up to Maplewood Bikes (bridge over I-64 closed) then down and around Forest Park. The ride up to Maplewood was to get my front wheel fixed. The bearing was coming loose, and the wheel was starting to wobble even though it was locked tight.

Standard ride around Forest Park after work. Stopped for breakfast just before going home.

Notable rides since

So to try to round out some of the miles since I stopped keeping track there have only been a few notable rides that I've done.

RAGBRAI 2008
28 miles - First half of day two or three
21 miles - Joy ride after parking the bus at the campus of UofI

MS150 2008
61 miles - Had to cut short what should have been a 75 mile ride because of my knee
40 miles - Decided to do the shorter route because my knee was still hurting

Training Rides with Team Christner
42 miles - Started with a morning ride after work (no food or sleep before the ride) when I met up with Team Christner outside of the rest area in Forest Park. Rode to and down the riverfront trail and back.
31 miles - Standard Team Christner training ride down to the rest area and back (one HUGE hill)

Old Entries


So I bought my bike (2006 Lemond Etape Triple) on 5.15.08. I was good for a little while and kept a log of my rides, but soon stoped keeping track of it. This first post is of what is left of that log.
