I’m sitting here watching the final stage of the Tour de France wondering to myself why it’s not on a network tv channel. It’s been on NBC Sports this year, which is great…but still. More people need to watch this amazing event. I know the Tour took a lot of heat for all the doping…
I don’t know about you, but May was a rough month. I was sick, tired, school was ending – just a lot going on. I didn’t get to the gym as much as I would like. But the good news, I did spend a lot more time riding my bike – able to hit the…
We love staying out at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. (More to come on that in a later blog…) We have been there a number of times and it’s just about the perfect vacation spot. It’s about a two hour drive from Orlando, close enough but not too close. This time, I figured I would bring…
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…
Overall, April was a great workout month. Despite two different out-of-town trips, I got a lot of workouts in. PLUS, a lot of walking in Chicago and Washington, D.C. So happy that this is now just habit…now I need to kick it up a notch and do more of something different because I’m still not…
This past weekend I hit the 50% mark of my yearly biking goal! Over 1,000 miles have been logged on the bike. Now, a lot of that is spin class, but it counts and damn it…it’s not easy to do it every morning at 6am. At this pace, I’ll almost double my yearly goal!! I…
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 love to bike and secretly wish I could quit my desk job and just tool around town all day exploring different paths and trails. I’ve always enjoyed cycling as a hobby, but over the last few years I’ve really turned to it as a place of enjoyment, stress relief and health benefits. The more…

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…
