Happy Caturday for May 2020, II
Given how exhausted I felt after my 11-plus-mile bike ride (almost to the big goal) followed up with showering and errands, I didn’t feel any burst of extra energy, even with a venti latte from Starbucks. The nice two-hour nap … Continue reading
First physical 100 miles by bike achieved!
On the weekends, I push the distance envelope with my (relatively) new bicycle. The long-term goal is to ride from my house to my job, approximately 7.5 miles one way or 15 total. When this shit show ends, the plan … Continue reading
San Antonio (by bike) achieved!
Today, I got across the first threshold of distance on my hybrid bike, San Antonio which is around 80 miles from Austin. I also closed the rings for the ninth time in a row even though I’ve been on my … Continue reading
My new bike rack!
The missing piece(s) I needed to have the rack installed from last week arrived yesterday. Mike, the guy who sold everything I bought, put it all together and now I can transport two bikes via my car. Two? Why two? … Continue reading
My first new bike in 25 years
I was just getting too stir crazy and missing the gym so I went to Austin’s very nice Sun & Ski franchise to get a new bike. Years ago, I bought one for Somara but never followed up for me. … Continue reading
Amsterdam Achieved!
Today was the sixth milestone via in-door bike! It went much, much faster given this leg being incredibly short. A mere 504 miles to Amsterdam. Arrival was delayed thanks to me taking the bulk of December off. What you’re seeing above … Continue reading
5000 miles!
Today I made it to the 5000-mile mark for my cumulative mileage on an exercycle. Great way to kick off the new year too. Here’s another fun piece of trivia, this is about 20% of the Earth’s diameter. I pulled … Continue reading
First 100 miles of 2020 achieved!
Woo hoo! I feel that 2020 is off to a fantastic start, not only have I cemented things with Shea to have her be my girlfriend, I have completed my first 100 miles of biking in nine days, seven were … Continue reading
One hundred days against Baba Yaga!
FINALLY! I managed to get through the day 100 times without becoming seriously ill or contracting a serious case of the fuckits. Getting across the finish line this week was relatively easy since Thanksgiving puts America closer to the slash … Continue reading
Two hundred and fifty gym days!
Pretty good milestone achieved yesterday but the 2020 nightmare isn’t going to happen due to there being only 30-plus days left. Three hundred will have to be next year’s goal.
Three thousand miles for 2019!
Woo hoo! Not bad, not bad! Managed another 1000 miles for the year within three-ish months. I’m glad to be pushing the envelope for an annual accomplishment. My determination has put me past Honolulu and Cork with Amsterdam as the … Continue reading
Cork Achieved!
Today was the fifth milestone via in-door bike! It went somewhat faster given this leg being shorter, less illness and the inspiration of divorce. How much shorter? Compared to Honolulu’s 1300-plus miles, Cork was over 800. Next up, the easy 500 … Continue reading
100,000 Calories!
I achieved this milestone on the in-door bike at the gym today! It only took a couple years and sadly, I’m still overweight! If I remember my Chemistry, I have produced enough energy to raise 100,000 grams of water 1° … Continue reading
WizWorld gels, new gym hours, new fiscal year!
The people running WizWorld Austin were really playing it close to the chest this year. I had been checking about twice a week all Summer on who was coming and their site just kept saying bupkis. Thankfully it shored up … Continue reading

Twenty-five hundred miles for 2019!
Honolulu is in the dust as Cork is now where I’ve set my immediate goal alongside 3000 miles for 2019 with today. The new enhanced pace is paying off. What I would give for this making the weight go away … Continue reading
