I wasn’t going to go for a long ride so I didn’t eat lunch and only put a couple of granola bars in my pockets. Then I called Joel and said let’s go for a ride. He was good with the idea so we headed towards Black Smith Fork Canyon. This is one of my…

First ride on the new Madone
I brought my bike home from the shop and in spite of the fact that everyone was eating dinner by the time I got home I gave in and went for a ride. You can’t just bring it home and let it sit. Here’s the pictures.
Winter Was Hard on us Both
I have had colds off and on over the past few months which gave me a great excuse to ignore my bike trainer and be lazy. I had no idea just how bad it had gotten. While sitting in my office chair writing code this morning I hear a loud CRACK… and fall backwards: I’ll…
Visited My New Madone This Morning

More on my new Madone 6.9

2008 Trek Madone Dilema
I have waited a year now to buy the perfect bike. For a while I was tempted to go with the 5.2, but why be responsible when you can spend an insane amount of money to shave a pound off your bike? This morning I went to Thanksgiving Point to an Apple Educator Conference. We…
Happy Smiley Guy
I can’t ever seem to remember Brent Carpenter’s name which is probably rude, but I have heard people here in Logan refer to him as happy, smiley guy. Almost any day of the week he can be seen riding his bike around town. He has a horn on it that he honks and he waves…
Trek Madone Lust
My wife will kill me I am sure, but this morning I dropped by the bike shop. I had a few minutes and if I go in the morning I can work with the shop manager which is always a better experience. My intention was to drop in really quick, lust, get a few prices…
