  • Spring Comming

    Ah, Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day, right? Like the old tune goes! Today was jam-packed with laundry, tidying up, and juggling my calendar. But hey, mission accomplished, and now it’s time to kick back. It’s getting nippy out there, but hey, spring’s just playing hard to get. Planning a chill hike tomorrow at Sleeping…

  • Exhausted

    Muscled my way through the front door after three hours of getting lost-but-definitely-not-lost adventuring in the woods. My legs are serenading me with a bluesy symphony – the kind where you can’t decide if you wanna laugh or whimper at the next step. Hit that glorious exhaustion point where hunger, fatigue, and a desperate need…

  • Training on Schedule

    Ah, the grand finale of Phase II of my mountain biking saga. I’m shedding pounds and my body fat is taking a nosedive, which is fantastic news. I’m practically out the door, off to indulge in my guilty pleasure at McDonald’s (yes, I know, save the lectures). Wait, am I hearing voices? Nah, must be…

  • Wallingford Mountain Biking

    Ahh, the weekend! I just got back from Wallingford where I went mountain biking. Very very muddy! It was fun though. Took me 1 hour 20 minutes to do a lap. Lots of slippery conditions! I have been getting online more lately as things seem to be caught up for the moment. Training is going…

  • MTB at Brookfield Park Awesome

    Hey there, long time no see – or, you know, long time no post! I’m still kickin’, just been swamped with bouncing back from pushing my limits a tad too much (overtraining is no joke, folks) and gearing up for a big move. Still on the lookout for the perfect pad, but no dice yet.…

  • Me Fat

    Today is blue. I am blue because my body fat reduction and/or weight are not where I want it to be. I seem to be gaining weight with muscle mass. If anybody knows anything about mountain biking, they know that this is the worst thing in the world. I must be under 190 before the…

  • Emotional Alchemy

    Yesterday’s mountain bike was absolutely outstanding. Today I feel a little over-trained but it is a day off so Ill rest. Been a while since I get a head-rush from getting up in the morning. Yep, better rest. I just ordered a book called ”Emotional Alchemy“. I heard good things about it. It is about…

  • Cool

    https://sgpa.org – Hold onto your walking sticks, fellow nature enthusiast, because I just unearthed a goldmine for our next Sleeping Giant adventure! Talk about serendipity – I stumbled upon the Sleeping Giant Park Association website, and let me tell you, it’s like a map leading straight to paradise (with slightly fewer mosquitos, hopefully). This website…

  • Sleeping Giant Hike

    Alright, buckle up, folks, because yesterday’s hike was enough to make Paul Bunyan himself take a nap. Let’s just say, by the time I stumbled back to my car, I resembled a deflated pool noodle more than a human being. Okay, so maybe noon isn’t the prime time to attack a 6.3-mile behemoth like Sleeping…

  • What's Up In Plattsburgh?

    Greetings, fellow intrigue enthusiasts! Your local info sleuth, checking in from the digital depths of WIRY.com, where the news of Plattsburgh seems as quiet as a library on nap time. Nada on last night’s call, which leaves me craving answers like a race car needs checkered flags. But hey, who needs drama when we have…

  • Psycho

    Well, last night was very interesting. My ex-girlfriend called me and started talking weird about someone trying to kill her. No shit. Well, anyway I got a couple of numbers and if she doesn’t call by 6am, then I am supposed to call the police with the name of the guy she was going to…

  • Exhausted!

    I am absolutely exhausted today. A 1 hour Tie_Bo session followed by a half hour leg workout on the bike really exhausted me. I will take it easy today. I accidently miunderstood my workout plans and combined yesterday and today’s workout into one day. I am not making sense so Ill go for now.

  • Morning Coffee Brings Sunshine

    Ah, another foggy day… desperately in need of a coffee infusion to inject some sunshine into my veins. Believe it or not, we’re roughly a month and a half away from waving goodbye to our current apartment. This time around, I’m toying with the idea of flying solo, roommate-free, budget permitting. Dream scenario? Landing a…

  • Great Day For a Mountain Bike Ride

    Good morning! It’s a fantastic day for a mountain bike ride, though I’ve got a different outdoor activity lined up – a hike on Sleeping Giant. It’s going to be enjoyable, and the best part is, Marcy, my dog, can join me. Feeling a bit worn out this morning from yesterday’s bike ride, but that…

  • Back to Training

    Hey there, folks! Bill here, and guess what? I’m finally back to training, and let me tell you about my first controlled workout of the season. I hopped on my fixed gear ride, cranked up the cadence, and kept that heart rate up. Whew, it left me feeling a bit ragged, but hey, that’s the…

  • Brookfield Park MTB Tonight

    What a nice day this morning. It is a good day for a mountain bike ride. When work is over I will see you all out on the trails. I think tonight will be brookfield park. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

  • Single Track is Calling

    Man, that weekend was pure mountain magic! Legs still achin’ happily, but today’s all about rest and recharge. Gotta map out phase two of my base training, like, yesterday. Speaking of magic, the single track’s already whisperin’ sweet nothings in my ear. Can’t wait for that first rip of the season! Speaking of whispers, just…

  • Montreal Misadventures: Snow, Spice, and Subterranean Shenanigans

    Alright, gotta catch that snow train back home before I turn into a human Popsicle! It’s coming down like crazy, but hey, at least I’ll be home by 7pm-ish (fingers crossed, traffic gods willing). Don’t know if I’ll have energy to update later, so gotta squeeze this in now. Brace yourselves, it’s about to get…
