Sunday, April 27, 2008. 200K Delavan 2008 Brevet. So, here’s the 200K report. Ace arrived around 6pm Friday night. He gave me a beer, while he was unpacking in his room. It was Miller Lite, but hey. Then we drove over to this Italian restaurant for dinner in the rain. It was really nasty Friday night. About 10-15 miles out, we caught up to Ace. We rode with him for awhile, and at the first control stop, we saw Ace again. The first stop, is gas station, about 31 miles out. Good beer at the end. Finally, s...

Monday, May 9, 2011. 2011 300K Brevet out of Delavan, WI. Arrived at the Super 8 Hotel, and saw Mike unpacking his car. After getting settled Mike and I went to dinner. Eric wasn’t able to join us for dinner, since he’s working again, and wasn’t able to get up to Delavan until around 9pm. One guy said, "cheap beer is the best beer.". After leaving Mt. Horeb, on our way to Oregon, the big hills came back into play. Again, everyone rode at their own pace. When we arrived at Edgerton, that couple was there&...

Monday, July 28, 2008. Wally talking to Lenny and Mark in Earlville, IL. When we left the start, our group consisted of the following: Greg, John D., Roy, Wally, Tom (the BIL), Doug Moss, Jen and Moo. I was surprised to find that Rick M. and Ace were not doing the century. Ace was riding with a gal, who had never ridden 62, so he was coaching her.(I never saw Andrew.). When we all arrived in Earlville, Eric was out taking pictures. I was surprised to see him, since he was iffy about coming out. It turns ...

Thursday, June 9, 2011. 2011 600K Delavan, WI Brevet. After dinner, saw Mike talking to Thomas, so I went over to say hello. The parking lot had more cars in it, and I could tell more cyclists had arrived. Went to bed around 9pm. All my stuff was laid out for the 6am start. Including my stuff for the Sunday morning 200K portion of the 600K. Next, Jim Kreps the person who runs the Brevets out of Delavan, inspected my gear, to make sure I had front and rear lights, including a reflective vest. Arriving at ...

Monday, December 8, 2008. It always seems to be really cold, when we make our way downtown (Chicago) to watch cyclocross in early December - and this year was no exception. Waiting for the train. We always take the train downtown, and this year we left Naperville around 10:30am. When we arrived at Union Station, John and Brandi were there to drive us to the cyclocross race, at Montrose Harbor. After spending some time at the race, we headed over to Bar on Buena. One of our favorite bars.

Friday, October 3, 2008. Leelanau Harvest Tour 2008. Jim and Mark, heading north. I have been riding the Leelanau Harvest Tour now for three years in a row. It’s a great invitational that takes you by beautiful lakes, including Lake Michigan, the Sleeping Bear Dunes and vineyards – yes, Michigan has vineyards. This year they changed up the route, and it included some roads I have not ridden. On the way to the second rest stop. Jim (far right with white cap) and Mark (far right, hands on hips). The purpos...

Saturday, February 14, 2009. Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen screw up? Today was the first day of the 2009 Tour de California http:/ www.amgentourofcalifornia.com. And what a day it was,. Depending on how you watched it. I decided to watch the time trial (Prologue) on Amgen’s Tour Tracker - http:/ tracker.amgentourofcalifornia.com/. It requires the latest Flash plug-in.) It was very much live, and had a few bugs. Plus, you can chat online with other fans, very cool. Overall, very impressive.

Monday, April 25, 2011. 2011 200K Brevet out of Delavan, WI. So, we ended up going to Chili’s – I don’t like eating at corporate chain restaurants, oh well. Mike ate tones of food, then again his body fat is around 6%. 8221; He said, “go down this road about four miles, and take a left at the stop sign.” The road wasn’t great, and no shoulder, with a speed limit of 55mph, but I had a really strong tailwind now, and I just hammered it. I finally saw a sign for Evansville, then th...I turned left, and into...
