http://cyclistatlaw.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. The last math class I took was freshman year of college. I hated math. I bought an Srm and suddenly I love statistics.

Distance from D.C. to Pittsburgh, PA: 241 miles. Total Time on the Bike: 20 hours 19 minutes. Number of States Involved: 3- Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia plus D.C. ( Statehood Now. I'll post pict...

CYCLIST @ LAW: March 2011
http://cyclistatlaw.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Is not bad for the family folk among us and the Eastman Kodak Museum. Thursday, March 10, 2011. San Antonio surprised the heck out of me. I first found myself there a month ago and was blown away by how big the city actually is and what the city had to offer. Growing up in Naperville, with our own version, I had heard about the Riverwalk in San Antonio but had no idea what to expect. So I put on my cowboy boots and headed out to see what I can find. For some Chi-Friy and to dis...

CYCLIST @ LAW: Accountability and Training
http://cyclistatlaw.blogspot.com/2013/11/accountability-and-training.html
Saturday, November 16, 2013. It takes a moment of bravery to start anything and putting yourself out for critique requires a degree of ambivalence to consequences. I started this journal years ago without a purpose. Slowly a purpose evolved and then its importance to me faded. The desire to tell my story never vanished; more or less it simply faded into the background of those things that were otherwise deemed important at the time. Took a big leap of faith and brought a bike with me to. The idea of whic...

CYCLIST @ LAW: Return to Illinois
http://cyclistatlaw.blogspot.com/2013/11/it-takes-on-average-30-60-seconds-of.html
Tuesday, November 26, 2013. Heading north of Peoria through endless fields ready for the. Harvest and tall enough to block a little wind. I get into a rut sometimes. It's an insistence on doing the same routes, the same workouts and no originality. You wake up and get ready to face the day; but the eagerness to ride is a bit dulled because it has all become too routine. The same can be said of a lot of things- from work to personal lives. Molds need breaking and repetition needs changing.

CYCLIST @ LAW: April 2011
http://cyclistatlaw.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. I took a rare day off to do my other favorite thing. . . sit and enjoy a Spring day with food and friends at Oatlands for the annual Hunt Point-to-Point. I am bringing out a new fashion trend this season. I noticed a vest as a replacement for the sport coat in a recent episode of White Collar. My out of town season starts in mid-May with Tour de Grove. It marks the first opportunity that I have had since becoming a Cat 2 to get into a race with my coach. And friend Adam Mills....

CYCLIST @ LAW: February 2014

Thursday, February 06, 2014. Pushing the Stress Limit. Houston's Picnic Loop, not a bad place for steady winter training laps. While I was in-between court sessions I was sent an article about a fellow attorney and endurance athlete Caroline Gregory. Ckgregory) in which the author discusses the concept of "total stress budget". A good group ride with friends I've found to be a solid way to decrease the stress of training.

CYCLIST @ LAW: Winter Duldrums-- The Ick
http://cyclistatlaw.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter-duldrums-ick.html
Monday, January 23, 2012. Winter Duldrums- The Ick. And then ride back up it to do the same thing again, just this time faster. However, you take all of the above and toss in a little extra drama in life, a touch of extra stress at work or just a bad day stuck on a plane or bus next to the guy whose coughing up a lung and voila.you are sick. It's definitely time for me to start listening to my body just that much more. Another nap is my near future. Rob, have we been hanging out lately and I didnt notice?

Friday, February 26, 2010. Solvang, California Days 3 and 4, Vineyards and Chris Carmichael. The fourth day was the big day for me. A ride without serious mountain climbs but with serious distance. We chose a route through the vineyards and down to the sea. Then we turned north and shadowed Vandenberg AFB and up and over Harris Grade before heading off to Santa Maria. Om every imaginable major race in the world. Being in such a room was like being in a miniature cycling museum. Tuesday, February 23, 2010.
