Bradbury Mountain Enduro | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/bradbury-mountain-enduro
Sunday Tom and I headed up to the fine state of Maine for a “short” race put on by the good folks at EFTA. One 30-mile loop through the trails of Bradbury Mountain State park. So when I tell you had fun at the Bradbury Mountain Enduro, you can figure it means I didn’t spend too much time in the pain cave (tm Andy. The singletrack dumped out onto a jeep trail and the course marshall there said “only a 100 yards to the finish! 8221; I said “get out! Laquo; Rocking the Big Wheels – Part III. Blog at WordPre...

You Can Never Have Too Many Lumens | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/you-can-never-have-too-many-lumens
You Can Never Have Too Many Lumens. I used to hate night riding. The dark, the cold, the 75% reduction in my skill level (bringing me down to about 1.5 skills). I had so many bad night rides, I just gave up on night riding altogether. Then I got an expensive massage. The massage itself was the usual rate, but Nolan. Has to stimulate this economy!

Wilderness 101 – Sixth Time’s a Charm | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/wilderness-101-sixth-times-a-charm
Wilderness 101 – Sixth Time’s a Charm. Short story: 11:05 on the SS – fastest finish ever for me. I spent most of the first 40 miles socializing. About a third of the way up the first climb, a guy on an SS asked if I had done this race before and if I minded if he rode along with me (we’ll call him Delaware, because I forgot his name about 3 seconds after he told me what it was). This exact same thing happened at Lumbejack! Him: It’s Paul. Him: We stayed at the same place. Laquo; What’s Up? Hey, so IR...

An Inconvenient Weekend | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/an-inconvenient-weekend
As I was yelling to the general population that the guy ran the stop sign, he ran up to me and said “That was me, I’m so sorry! 8221; Then I was completely not mad any more and just sat down to wait for the cops to show up. My original plans for the weekend were:. Sat: LUNA chic MTB ride and bbq with Jimena Florit at her house in CT, which I was insanely psyched about. Sun: 100K Ride for the Cure in Gloucester with Sue in the morning, BBQ w/ our mtb friends in the afternoon. Instead, it was:. You are com...

Mohican 100 Pictures | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/mohican-100-pictures
I had a good race – only slightly faster than last year. But I suffered a lot less and even managed to take pictures along the way. I’m working on the thousand words, but I’ll post the pictures now, because there are lot of them and it would take me three years to integrate them with the text. We got to the Mohican Lodge early, so we put the bikes together while we waited for our room to be ready. And other members of the Kudzu Mafia on the porch at Camp Nuhop. The inevitable portapottie line. See you in...

Maximus Kick in the Assimus | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2007/05/08/maximus-kick-in-the-assimus
Maximus Kick in the Assimus. Kind of on a whim, Tom and I headed down to Michaux State Forest in Pennsylvania last weekend to race the 50-mile monster course of the Michaux Maximus. Race, just outside of Gettysburg. We had heard good things about the riding in Michaux state forest – things like “rocky” and “technical” – and figured this would be a good way to check it out. Short version of the race report. Rocks, rocks, rock, long climb, rocks, rocks, long climb rocks, ad nauseum. Happy just to finish.

I’m a Lumberjack and I’m OK | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/im-a-lumberjack-and-im-ok
I’m a Lumberjack and I’m OK. I’ve had that song. Stuck in my head all weekend. This last week was a blur. We left the house at 4:40am Wed to catch a 6am flight for Detroit (yeah, that’s kind of late… we got to the gate and they were already boarding) and we didn’t get back until 12:30 this morning. I’ve been busy at work all day and just got time to blog up the Lumberjack 100. After we got back to the hotel, I went to put my number plate on the bike and it was missing! No one wanted to pass, so I chugged...

Cruising at Cohutta | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/cruising-at-cohutta
Yes, this is really late, but I was on vacation until yesterday. I had access to the intraweb the whole time, but computers remind me of work so much that by last weekend, I wouldn’t even open my laptop to read my nonwork email in case I accidentally saw a Framemaker or RoboHelp icon. Also, the race? A really expensive group ride (stole that from Lindsay. I’m not at all thrilled with my time, but it was a 100 miler in April and I finished. It was a training race! Was “it wasn’t as bad as I th...I would l...

Hampshire 100K | Reenie
https://reeniecg.wordpress.com/2007/08/21/hampshire-100k
It was perfect weather for racing – it never got out of the 60s during the day, and the start was chilly, but not freezing. We dutifully attended the 6:15 racer’s meeting thinking we’d have 15 minutes to get ready for the 6:45 line up. But at the end of the meeting, they announced “line up is in 3 minutes.” Crap! I had my bike shorts on, but nothing else I need to race with. We all scattered like cockroaches back to our campsites and frantically started pulling gear on. Clipped a pedal. Andy. All in all,...

Perhaps you’ve heard about the high gas prices? Of it that makes me want to drive less. I don’t want the oil companies to have my money. I’d rather give it to the MBTA or the bike shop. Comments : Leave a Comment. Mother Nature Training Systems. It’s been a while. I have all sorts of excuses for not posting, but they’re boring, so I’ll just start posting again and pretend like I’ve just been doing it all along. The next two races coming up are Mohican. Don’t ride for a few days. Comments : 2 Comments.
