The Bicycling Paradox: Fit Doesn’t Have to Mean Thin - New York Times

Interesting article in the NY Times about the fact that body type is a poor predictor of cycling ability (unlike running, where overweight individuals are at a serious physical disadvantage). I know in triathlons, I've had some very fast heavier...

Sailing on Lake Union

It was probably a better day for this: But I still had a good ride this morning. When there is wind, it's usually at my back on the way out and blowing against me on the way back. Which serves to make me feel like hot stuff for the first part o...

Sunday, I got out on the trail early, only to see an absolute wall of people walking towards me. It was the MS Walk. I thought I might be able to cycle through them (it is a multi-use trail...

My ride

I love the maps that I get with my Garmin. This is my bike ride today. I drove my bike up north a bit, to Matthews Beach, and then rode from there. It was a pleasant change of scene and being a weekday there was very light traffic on the trail....
