This is the first time I used the trainer with the heart-monitor/speed/cadence sensors. The weather had prevented me from getting outside to take the trainer bike for a calibration ride. This was a short 30 min session with some isolated leg exercises and some squat-jumps and push-ups thrown in.

My last two rides.

Things got muddy today. Actually, I just fell in the mud.

I got into Big Red the other day after our 3rd hockey game of the weekend in as many states and noticed the odometer. Big Red has been with us for 10+ years of travel hockey; seven state championships, many dozens of tournaments, many hundreds of games, heart-breaks and triumphs, a few fender benders and countless hours of high quality family time. She has never once let us down. We hope she’ll be with us for a while longer.

It’s been a while since I made a mountain biking update. Here are the last seven.
