Unclear

Carl B. posted an article on - Feb 19, 2010, 12:55 pm
I'm not sure if I can keep this going. Lots of things going on lately that have me torn between sharing experiences and my life with my readers and just getting out and living. I guess you could call it an awakening of sorts. I've considered starting fresh and have even gone as far as strarting the ...

Monday already?

Carl B. posted an article on - Jan 25, 2010, 7:09 am
I know, my updates are few and far between....they pretty much suck. I'm trying. Well, I finally have myself into my off-season roller groove with some consistent riding sessions. 'Cross season is still a ways off so no real hurry just yet. I'm trying to do the off-season a little different this yea...

Almost there

Carl B. posted an article on - Jan 18, 2010, 8:15 am
Most of the weekend was spent sitting in front of the television watching old shows and movies or hanging out with Rhea in her room. Only left the house once for about 30 minutes on Saturday and only for a couple hours yesterday. Just a plain old lazy wekend really. Felt good too. I did put in some ...

Preliminary Product Review - Velocity Bottle Trap

Carl B. posted an article on - Jan 11, 2010, 10:08 am
The Velocity Bottle Trap. It's a water bottle holder for a bicycle, right? That is correct. It holds a water bottle. I was asked to take a look at these cages and give some feedback on my thoughts. Always willing to help out, I said sure. So I was handed two of these in, my now mandatory color choic...

Keeping it calm in 2010

Carl B. posted an article on - Jan 11, 2010, 7:59 am
Or at least I am trying to. Quite a few things to get done although there is no real hurry on any of them. That's a god thing this time of year because when things don't go quite as planned then there is still time to make the necessary corrections to get it back on track. First off, the 'B' Bike is...

2010 has arrived

Carl B. posted an article on - Jan 5, 2010, 7:52 am
Wow. Two weeks away from work also equates to two weeks away from the blog. Hopefully I am recharged for both of those tasks. With 2009 over and done with, I have started to look at what I would like to do for the 2010 season. I have not made any real solid plans, nothing is written in stone, and I ...

Real time off

Carl B. posted an article on - Dec 21, 2009, 7:29 am
Today officially marks three weeks off the bike for me and I really cannot complain. It's given me time to get the 'Cross bike torn down, cleaned, and the rebuild process has been started. The "B" Bike is nearing completion and only needs things such as cables/housings, bar tape, and a chain to be f...

Running the streets

Carl B. posted an article on - Dec 17, 2009, 7:26 am
Running. Not something a lot of cyclists seem to partake in very much, including myself. We actually have some great cyclists here in town that are also great runners but, not a lot of them. Since it is the time of year in Iowa where the roads and sidewalks are usually covered in snow, getting a rid...
