My first Century Jalapeno 100 bicycle tour...



With the Jalapeno 100 just around the corner I wanted to post a video of me doing it one year ago.  I have come a long way. At this point I had just started cycling for about 5 months on and off.  I had set the goal of doing the 100 miles when I started dieting.  I was determined to lose the pounds!

Got skillzzz on the the court...

Every Monday and Wednesday we have been getting together to shoot some hoops.  It's been fun but I have come to realize that I was not blessed in every sport. I play basketball like a donkey plays basketball.....they don't!!!  I'm not meant to play bball, for some reason every time I have gone out there I have been getting hurt some way.  Am I a cluts, am I just uncoordinated or is it just a consistent bad day.  Well on Monday I was going for the ball which was going out of bounds and the guy in front of me caught it and tried to inbound it straight in my face! Wow! That hurt.
On Wednesday I was going up for a rebound and landed on someones foot causing my ankle to roll and hit the concrete!!!  Pain!  Twisted ankles... something a cyclist never gets.... Come to think of it, cyclist don't get that much ankle workouts so I'm guessing that is why it is weak....hmmmm  Well anyways it looks like I got to stay off this foot for a couple of days, that is not good for my training schedule.

It's like a sauna in here...

 This is a picture I took while on the freeway yesterday.  That is how it has been the past week.  Horrible! Gloomy! Just plain nasty... Unsafe riding weather.  Good thing I got my man cave!

It's cold outside but we still get a good workout inside. Too may people in here that it feels like a sauna.  You sweat like crazy, dropping pounds on a trainer is easy!  It's gonna feel weird next week when we start on the road again. My legs are gonna be all muscle! lol
