I like to ride my bicycle - for long distances. I have earned the California Triple Crown and finished the Furnace Creek 508. My goals include qualifying for RAAM and ...(read the blog to find out). "The bicycle has a soul. If you are able to love it as it deserves, it will give you emotions you will never forget." "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride."

March Madness is Over! March Miles: 804.95 March Elevation Gain: 21,614 Year to Date Miles: 1841.2 Year to Date Elevation Gain: 57,193 This was a good month for me. While I did not ride as many miles as last year (833.27), I did 16 rides in 2008, one more than 2007. Lastly, my 2008 total miles exceeds 2007 by nearly 200 miles. Now, April is going to be very busy. On April Fools Day, I will join Del on his Tualatin Tuesday Night Rides. He has a habit of ripping my lungs out. Then, on the following Saturday is the Oregon Randonneur Birkie Brevet, 124 miles of fun. The very next Saturday is the Davis 24 Hour Challenge. Mark Newsome and I will be riding as a two person 50+ team. The very next week is the Oregon Randonnuer Three Capes Brevet, 186 miles of fun. And, if I can talk Joanne into it, I would follow that up with The Cherry of a Ride the very next day. I then have a weekend off (so far) before I ride a 24 hour Fleche. I maybe crazy, but I know I will be tired.
