He’s a Funny One

Don’t ask my three year old to look at the camera! Got a nice laugh when I pulled these off the phone….goofball.

Good for the mind…

…to spend 51 miles in the woods on a nice fall day. Not so good on the body riding a hardtail for those 51 miles. Crashing doesn’t help either. Still worth it.

2010 Ride Summary

2010 was a pretty decent year cycling-wise. With Nolan being born, I didn’t expect to ride as much as I did, but I’m glad I found time to do so, as it was a pretty memorable year. Going through the numbers, here’s what occurred in 2010.

Non-Commuting Rides:

  • 92 rides
  • 3111.59 miles
  • 170.15 hours of riding time
  • Average Speed: 18.27 mph
  • Average Distance: 33.79 miles
  • 75768′ of vertical gain
  • ~108000 calories burned.

Commuting (didn’t get to anywhere near as many times as I wanted to):

  • 13 days commuting
  • 446 miles
  • Managed 17.52 mph overall
  • $51 in fuel costs avoided

Overall, that made for 3557.69 miles in 2010.

Spinning (oh the horror)

  • 21 efforts on the mag trainer
  • 18.12 hours of torture on the mag trainer
  • 14 effort on the fluid trainer
  • 13.61 hours of torture on the fluid trainer

Memorable Moments:

  • Top of the World Tour included some serious climbing – over 5000′ of gain over 63 miles.
  • Acquired a new carbon fiber bike – the Planet X SL Pro Road.
  • Said goodbye to the trusty Raleigh Marathon. It found a new loving home.
  • Hitting a dog head on and winning that battle(lucky).
  • The Dog Bite.
  • I got to ride with Phil!

What’s next for 2011?

  • Time to race methinks.
