As in, that’s what’s been going on. I’ve been riding the bike to no where more than I care to admit lately. I’m surprised to see how many people come into the room and get on one (1) of these torture devices for a whopping five (5) minutes and then leave.

I’ve been exchanging less than cordial emails with the folks running the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race. I am, in fact, not in the race – as of yet. At least not by way of lottery. The rumor being tossed around is there is going to be some qualifying races around the country. I think three (3) this year. My intent is to get into one (1) of these and bike my way in. I’ll give it a go, anyway. Train, train, train. Race. See if I make it by place or time. If nothing else, the less than cordial emailing does have me motivated to train hard. I’ll provide more on the email exchange in a bit. I need to calm down some and try to keep the rant to a minimum.
The Bike Swap is coming up March 20th. Be there or be square.
I continue to work on the South Dakota portion of the U.S. Bike Routes.
I’ve determined, with reasonable accuracy, that spring is now long overdue.
Ride On.

Ah the Keiser M3...I have a class of 6AM die hards. They are so worried that they won't get a bike (17 available, 18 with my instructor bike), that they show up at 5:30 waiting for the door to open.
Must be the animal magnetism of the instructor. Are there any men in the class?
Unless an actual cyclist is teaching a class (Victoria Wilde does sometimes) AND I can make the schedule fit, I avoid the classes like the plague. I try to go in during non-class times and do my own thing.
Why do I feel there is no answer to that question that WON'T get me in trouble.
Yes, there are between 2-4 usually.
Yes, there are good looking college girls who could be my daughter.
Yes, I feel dirty.
Four out of the five of us who teach are cyclists, three of us pretty strong cyclists. The fifth is being pulled into outdoor riding.
That being said, I agree totally. I'm not a fan of "bike aerobics". I do drills/sets that make a better cyclist. For the non-cyclists, they still get a great workout.
Biking with benefits?
