Winter Ride

Just wanted to post some pics of a ride I did. Funny thing about this ride the day before I cross country skied this same loop. Damn Sun!!!

Here's a backwater slough I rode up and yes I freaked out when my tires popped through the ice a couple of times.

A view looking down the river.

Here's the tree I said the opening was about 6ft tall - you can see its closer to about 12ft.

Crazy to think this was all snow yesterday.

I said in my ski post it was a 4 mile loop - actually it was a 5 mile loop.

Peace.

Are we ready?

Just a few hours away from our first group ride of the season. I may have been a touch overserved at the self-service bar last night at our karaoke party. But I'm climbing on the saddle and hoping for a good ride. Woohoo let's go PH Peddlers!

White Lightening

Let's Go Parrot Head Peddlers ! I am sooooooo ready for a ride. Shannon you are going to blow us all away with all the working out you've been doing. You don't need no stinking clips !

White Lightening also needs a tune up. Need to take er in tomorrow so she'll be ready.

Love the name Big Red !

It's time!

I am so ready for our rides to start - I cannot even tell you. I've been doing all sorts of working out lately - kickboxing, elliptical, aerobic DVDs, sprints on the treadmill, and the stationary bike. But I'm missing our group and am ready for our rides! I'm so ready I was even watching the California race on Vs last week.

Big Red (I figured my bike needed a name to prove to Ray that I'm attached to it) is at R&M for a spring tune-up and new pedals. I'm still not brave enough to go clipless (why are they called 'clipless' if you clip into them?). But getting some pedals with cages that might give me a little momentum on the upswing. Right?

My neighbor got a bike over the winter and she wants to join our group when we get started. Nick got a bike for Christmas and he wants to join on some of the shorter rides as well. Kyle might have some company this year!

I'm really sad that Terry and I won't be able to make the MS Ride Dekalb this year due to the Heisler Family Reunion/wedding in Clemson, SC this year. But we plan to be there for all the group rides and pre-MS Ride events such as the Capital City Biathlon.

Same Course but on bike

X - Country ski today

Rhino snapped a picture when i got back this morning. After about a 4 m ski. Feel tired but its a good kind of tired!!

Going thur the woods @ Carpenter park on the Riverview Trail.

True meaning of a tree house the opening is over 6ft tall
As i was coming up to the river i was thinking about taking my skis off and get on the bridge to take a picture down the river. What are the odds a train shows up???

Backwater slough where the water ran out and dropped the ice about 5ft

This week i loogged about 13 miles on skis and about 6 miles on the bike. I am so ready for a long ride!!!

Fever!!!

Wow!!!! its been a long time since i been here. Cabin fever i say yes.I been busy with hockey and the usally winter activities. But i am ready for the bike. This past weeked i was at the rink for 6 hockey games. I know what your thinking WHY???? Well unless your a hockey puck you really wouldnt understand why.... But i love it

Today we had snow so everything is bright and clean!! To bad it wouldnt snow inside Nelsom Center it could use a good cleaning on the inside. Me rhino just got done plowing snow at the office building and when i got home i checked my Facebook. Yea thats right Facebook i was curious about it and really the only way you can see how it works you need to join so i did.
Not sure what to think about Facebook book but i am messing around and posting some stuff on there...... So if your a member look me up???

With the new so snow i decided to go x-country skiing i guess i did about 2 miles what a great workout. Last week i was at Kolbe window factory for some Training and how cool is that right in Wausau is Rib mtn ski resort on mon they have free ski rental so night sking it was to bad it was 25 below!! at the end of the week i meet the boys for a day of snowmobiling then it was off to Chicago for a hockey tourney all in all i was gone 9 days feels good to be home and i welcomed the snow reminds me of the northwoods!!!

I would like to get a meeting together for the bike group soon so keep a eye out for a email!!

Out for now
Peace!!!
