Over the past couple of days, I got the chance to head up to New York City for some downtime with my wife and her family. During the course of the stay, I think we hit up every single site seeing/locals only spots in NYC. Over the course of the trip, I kept on wondering…where the hell to New York City dwellers put in the miles?! In my suburb of Atlanta, I can head...
One of the things I love the most about the road bike is the ability to leave straight from my house and get in as many miles as my legs can handle. There is something about the solo road ride that is extremely peaceful but motivating at the same time. Yes…hitting 40+ mph inches away from your closest friends is a rush in itself, but what about those days where you...
As many of you already know…this year marked a first for me. For the first time in my 14 years of cycling, I bit the bullet and started to ride a road bike on a regular basis. At the end of last year, I picked up a Blue Competition Cycles Nx7 and went to work. At that point in time, my cycling exploits had been restricted to trail, urban and trials riding for 99%...
It was time for my second road biking century. Fresh off a two week hiatus from riding due to a shoulder and neck annoyance, I got up a 5am to meet up with other road bikers in the Roswell, GA area to complete a 100 mile road bike ride through north metro Georgia. This inaugural Hospitality Highway Century was going to be a special one. Not only did it cover a lot of my...
This past weekend, my parents headed up to Lake Chatuge for the weekend, so my wife and I (and my brother and his wife) headed up to spend the weekend with them. Normally, I do not bring the bikes with me on these trips because I rarely have enough time to ride dirt. However, this time I brought up the Blue Nx7 road bike and my trusty Garmin Edge 705 to lead the way for...
Last night, a group of 4 of us hit up a local Thursday night road ride in Roswell, GA. This was the first time I had ever done this ride, but I was familiar with the route as I have ridden it once before. The route takes you through fantastic areas of Roswell as you follow the Chattahoochee River and end up riding straight through historic Roswell.
After a long downpour...
This past Saturday, the Coosa Valley Cycling Association had its annual Up the Creek Without a Pedal road ride in Rome, GA. This road ride has several different mileage options (30, 45,62, 100) available to accommodate riders at all skill levels. With a ton (576 riders) of riders all eager to conquer the roads surrounding Rome, it was time for me to make a decision. How...
Mountain Biker Turned Roadie
The Roadie Group Ride
“Have you seen my legs?”
It was only a matter of time, I had to jump into the mix and join a pure, flat out, all roadie ride. One of my mountain biking friends, Laurie from Life On A Bike (she took the photos in this article!), put in the call to us mountain riders looking for a group to head out on the ride....
