Just returned from a nice Sunday bike ride with really weird Florida weather. It’s sunny outside, light breeze, not too hot. My little Patrick and I rode behind our subdivision to the “horses” and spotted a rainbow!! We kept riding and saw the horses. And it started raining, like really raining. Patrick got off his…
Our Memorial Weekend was such a crazy whirlwind, I think I’m still trying to catch my breath. This is a long post, lots of pictures. But there’s so much to share! My husband and I were celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary over the weekend. We typically don’t go gifts, but plan a night out to…
May is bike month. Did you know that? It’s also one of the few months in Florida where the weather can be PERFECT for bike riding. For years I’ve debated biking to work. But as a working mom, there are many factors to consider: Do I need to pick up kids from school? Most days…
March 2013: 259.50 miles on the bike – 135,085 pounds lifted Not too much to say about this month. Overall, I’m happy with my pace and commitment. I’ve been able to bike outside more since the weather has been nicer. I was so sick at the beginning of March that it didn’t get off to…
I don’t know if it’s the crappy weather outside, but this morning’s bike ride was quite the adventure! It’s nice and overcast, and there were a few sprinkles along the way. But nothing too bad…although the wind is getting pretty fierce out there! I’ve mentioned it before, but the area behind my house is some…

I’ve been wanted to do some sort of organized bike ride for some time now, but I’ve been scared. Scared that my hybrid bike isn’t good enough to keep up with the pack, scared that I am not in shape enough to ride that long of a distance, worried about rain, what do I wear? …
I was in desperate need of some ‘me’ time today – it’s been a rough day. So I managed to escape with my bike for an hour an enjoy this nice fall Florida day. I hit the rural area behind my subdivision and just rode…and rode. And I decided to go on my adventure through…
August 2012: 272.02 miles BOOM!!! That’s my mileage for August on the bike….I’m on a roll literally…pun intended. Compare that number to my previous months, and I’m killing it!!! Just need to keep it up! I’m also doing a lot more weights in between rides. I think it’s helping. I’m actually feeling a difference…
So I’m thinking of buying a new bike. I have a great, wonderful, awesome Specialized bike already: And I do love this bike! But I’m looking for a road bike. I want to go faster. I want to enter some bike events, and just don’t think I’ll fit in with my big fat tires. So…
