I can't anymore, I just can't. It happens every time I take a vacation or there's a long weekend. After a few days off I feel rested and rejuvenated--so much so I promise myself I'm going to ditch all the complaining and the negativity and focus on everything that makes cycling so wonderful. Then I... Continue Reading →

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and I look forward to a long weekend of riding. Just kidding. Oh, well. Guess there will be more solemn remembrance and less outdoor recreation, which is fair enough.
