Journal of road cycling, mountain biking and snowboarding activities of a 50-plus year old living in eastern upstate New York. Saturday, June 29, 2013. Killington Payoff. Mid November 2012 to mid April 2013. After two years of investing in Killington Express Cards and not getting to use them more than twice each year, 2012/13 provides a return on the investment. Total knee replacements one year and shoulder repair the next wiped out my snowboarding. Pretty sweet after two disappointing seasons. Ruppel Vu...

RuppRidn: Reno Rides. March 3&4, 2013
http://ruppridn.blogspot.com/2013/06/reno-rides.html
Journal of road cycling, mountain biking and snowboarding activities of a 50-plus year old living in eastern upstate New York. Saturday, June 29, 2013. Reno Rides. March 3&4, 2013. Tale of two experiences. Northstar. Solo, wet, trees. Heavenly. With two friends. Bluebird. Fresh pow. Northstar. Started off morning at McD and almost called it off. Fifty degrees and pouring rain. Decided to make the drive up at least. Listened to a radio doc talk about heart issues with diet and exercise - foreshadowing?

RuppRidn: July 2008
http://ruppridn.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Journal of road cycling, mountain biking and snowboarding activities of a 50-plus year old living in eastern upstate New York. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. Summer Riding Provides Bike Variety. More Bruce rides, WNY work rides and a local club Time Trial Series provides plenty of opportunity for riding. So the Lemond and Y-Foil are getting out and seeing some action. Yet untapped are club mountain bike rides, but that should be happening soon. I was still hurting from the Whitefa. That did not help me go.

Journal of road cycling, mountain biking and snowboarding activities of a 50-plus year old living in eastern upstate New York. Sunday, June 22, 2008. Whiteface Uphill Bike Race - Five Minutes Apart, One Second Togther. Hot and humid weather at the start turned to fog and mist at the finish; the ride down was in a pouring rain with thunder and lightning, but the Whiteface Race was a good day for both of us. Donna and I did a lot of training together for this race. The five-minute wait seems to last longer.

Journal of road cycling, mountain biking and snowboarding activities of a 50-plus year old living in eastern upstate New York. Saturday, June 29, 2013. What happened to 2012? Had some free time today waiting for Donna to get treated at the ER at Glens Falls Hospital. 2012 - an attempt at recalling events with some accuracy! On December 23, 2011, nearly one year to the day out from my BTKR surgery I went for my second snowboard session at Killington. It would be mid May before I could do much riding.

Journal of road cycling, mountain biking and snowboarding activities of a 50-plus year old living in eastern upstate New York. Friday, January 28, 2011. One Month Post Surgery. 12/28/2010 I had both knees replaced with Zimmer NextGen Patient Specific Implants. I stayed at St Peter's in Albany for 3 days and then I was transported by ambulance to Sunnyview Hospital in Schenectady for in-patient Physical Therapy. The first couple of days at Sunnyview were rough as we struggled to get the pain meds right.

Cycling to Snowboarding - 19 hours in November. Cycling to Snowboarding in November. Not often is it warm enough for the former, or snowy and cold enough for the later. My knees are healing up just in time to enjoy the great weather of November 2011! On top of that it was a blue bird cloudless 40-degree day! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ruppel Vulture ...

Cold, really COLD temperatures dominate and a setBACK occurs. Hopefully I will soon be BACK to riding snow or bikes soon as this morning the back is feeling much better. Enough that i am very tempted to ride or hike something today since the sun is shinning and it has warmed up to 11 degrees! Saturday, January 19, 2013. Snow Comes and Goes and Comes Again.
