Going The Distance: 2009-04-12
http://wycliffebiketour.blogspot.com/2009_04_12_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Last training Week 1 of 3 - Over. Saturday started with a meet at the Dam for two loops on the 40 mile route. The plan was to do one loop and then eat something similar to a lunch, and then do another loop. That would give a feel for what it will be like to ride before and after lunch on the up coming ride. Steve and I rode together today. My Garmin says I burned 5377 calories. ( I use 1000 cal / hr as my normal estimate, so this is reasonably close. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Going The Distance

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Photos: not in time order. A shot of the group riding down the road after entering FL this afternoon (taken low from handlebar level. One of the churches we passed today, there were three people waiting on the porch for us to pass by. So we stopped and visited and had a time of prayer together. Pastor Charles sent us off with sweet and wonderful prayer! Tonight we are at Crossroads Family Worship Center. It has been great to meet those who are equally commited to God. Hey, Dan....

Thursday, April 9, 2009. Last Chance Work Outs? Has been a transition for my training: off of the trainer and onto the road. With only 3 1/2 weeks remaining for training, before boxing up my bike and shipping it on ahead of me, I wanted to start getting some daily road miles in. Anytime I can enjoy speeds over 25 on the flats.I do. Wednesday, April 8, 2009. The Parable of 600 Miles: Training.

Going The Distance: Ride Summary - from my perspective
http://wycliffebiketour.blogspot.com/2009/05/ride-summary-from-my-perspective.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. Ride Summary - from my perspective. It is now Monday, May 18 th. I came home last night (late) and my bike should leave FL today in its box and join me later this week. It's worth noting that my first road bike - is what many refer to as your third road bike (. Meaning that it usually takes 3 purchases to figure out what you really like and what works for you and each step is usually a step up in performance and cost. Well, my used 2004 Cannondale. To replace my MTB. It is short of ...

Going The Distance: Why Do WE Ride ?
http://wycliffebiketour.blogspot.com/2009/05/why-do-we-ride.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Why Do WE Ride? I've been mulling over in my mind what to say about the "results" of our great experience. It's part of our human nature to want to quantify some kind of results to know whether we have been "successful" or not, and thus justify our expenditure of time and resources. In an event such as this, the effects of our efforts are much more qualitative and the true "results" may not be known for years to come. So why do we ride? Now why were you doing this? Lastly, thanks b...

Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Was it a Good Ride? Like everyone in the group, I'm asked constantly if it was a "good ride," and I find that I'm not sure what they mean by the question. I thought it would be a good idea to wait and think and meditate on the matter before I made a post. My hope is that distance will bring perspective. Will I do it again? Will I do things differently? Will I get saddle-sores again after 400 miles? Gordon A. Jones. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Why Do WE Ride? It's part of our human nat...

Thursday, April 2, 2009. Training to the 2005 Tour de France. Something that I wrestle with is balancing time with family and the desire to be in shape for the ride. My family is very suppor. Tive and encouraging, but I think about the extra work my wife does to take care of (Austin (10) and Abbi (7) while I'm out training. I took the day off training on Tuesday just to play catch with Abbi in the back yard, and then we hit practice golf balls around with Austin too! Tuesday, March 31, 2009. But today wa...
