As I continue to recuperate from by tendon injury, I have been looking for simple yet fun practice sessions that I can do without causing ongoing pain for days following my rides. My practice session on Sunday began with the goal of just practicing trackstands on a beam. Soon I Read more
Since my injured arm is still angry at me from the (small) lunges, gaps, and drops I did during Tuesday’s group ride, I figured today I’d take it really easy. Though apparently, it still wasn’t easy enough: My arm was still tender from Tuesday’s ride, and was even more cranky Read more
Due to schedule challenges from work, winter weather, physical therapy, and probably some other stuff, it’s been about a month since I’ve been able to get out for a bike trials group ride. The tendon injury in my arm is still far from healed, though it’s definitely improving – enough Read more
We had some rain this week and there’s still some snow on the ground. It even rained Tuesday morning, but it cleared up, resulting in gorgeous afternoon. When I left work, it was sunny and mild, with barely a cloud in sight. By the time I arrived at the UCONN Read more

This week we had a small group on Wednesday, consistent with the past few week’s rides. While we’ve had snow, ice, and rain, the rocks were dry and ready for riding at Hidden Pond. Amazingly, the slushy mess from a few days ago had dried up and we missed the Read more
It’s the middle of winter, so the number of people that show up for the weekly group rides is lower than normal. We started with only two, but a couple more guys showed up making it a pretty decent turnout for a mid-January ride. A snowstorm last week dropped 6-10 Read more
It’s the holiday season, so this week’s group ride was fairly meager, both in terms of turnout and the riding.
