Velocodger: November 2009
http://velocodger.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. I'm keeping the SS! Yes, dirt skiing season is here and I rode my fav MB loop, the Foresthill Divide trail. I did not put my foot down! Always reassuring when you realize, even after a long absence, ya still got it! Or some of it anyway) The hard parts are still hard, but at least I don't have to go out and buy a derailleur. I don't like to face it, but I turned sixty this year. Yech. So what do I do differently? I warm up longer. Lots longer. Links to this post. Cyclocosm - Pr...

Velocodger: June 2010
http://velocodger.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. Acing is a different matter. Digging ever deeper as we lead or chase the peloton, gritting our teeth and vowing to keep up with that wheel ahead- now that's suffering! When my heart is pounding so hard I'm afraid it might burst-that's when I tell myself-. Today is a good day to die! And by the way, that's the Tourmalet Eddie's climbing. Links to this post.

Velocodger: Who's your daddy?
http://velocodger.blogspot.com/2012/04/whos-your-daddy.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. There is something poignant about these racers, so far from home, family, friends, and all that is familiar. And yet they win. April 24, 2012 at 9:49 AM. I agree with your point of view and can imagine how lonly they must feel in moments of less good legs when they suffer to stay on the wheels and no homely good laugh around!

Velocodger: April 2010
http://velocodger.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. Check out the cool leather hairnets on LeMond and Bauer in this video. Trivia question- Kelly was the last pro to switch to clipless pedals.what was the reason given? Links to this post. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Cadel cries at Flèche Wallonne! Which means he won- or lost, or came in third, or he had a flat. No such bad luck today as the world champion claws past Alberto Contador to victory on the Mur de Huy. Alberto just couldn't hold him off. Chris Horner. Links to this post.

Tuesday, May 29, 2012. I woke up Sunday with a strange taste in my mouth and the vague realization something wonderful had happened the day before.if only I could remember what it was. Gradually disjointed images and fuzzy recollections began to resurface.I had probably mistaken this. For a beer can, thus the strange taste in my mouth. Alas, it held no beer. I had done a ride.yes! Now I kinda remember riding with lots of people, riding up for a really long time and down for a really short time. Someb...

Velocodger: December 2009
http://velocodger.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 5, 2009. Life as a dog! Did anybody see the ‘Far Side’ cartoon where a dog is in the courtroom (as the accused) and EVERYONE else is a cat? We as cyclists are the lonely dog in a courtroom full of cats! Answer; ride a bike, live close to your job, and stop the motor madness! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Velocodger: February 2010

Monday, February 15, 2010. Who do ya love? Thanks to Red Kite Prayer for inspiring this post. Links to this post. Saturday, February 6, 2010. Being an old fossil has its rewards, like witnessing generational changes in the cycling "community". The oldest riders among us were the wool and sew-up generation. There was NO lycra, folks! The biggest change was light clincher wheels, pioneered by Mavic in the mid-seventies. Finally -tires we could repair on the road! The bikes had NO suspension-none! Imagine N...
