Well, We all did it here at TNT. Finished the 85 miles rid in Barrington and burned 4,650 calories doing it. Felt really good up to mile 79, where I had nothing left and was completely empty.
It was such a great weather for riding. No soreness the next day, which is a good thing.

TNT Lake Tahoe Training - Naperville

What a beautiful day it was for a great 70 mile bike ride. Of course went off the course a bit about .50, but had good company to talk with and found out that we both have done RAGBRAI and might have met each other at one point. Good job Alane.
Here are some of the stats on Saturday's 70 miles ride according to my GPS.

Self Evolution Part 3

Life is all about choices. Living life is an adventure. New look, new outlook. Working out extra hard, helps me meditate and be more in tune to life.
As I always like to say. "Life life to the fullest as if its your last day, without regret."

Just do it!!!

TNT LakeTahoe Bike ride by the lake

Went for a 19 mile bike ride just for fun by the lake. I was flying but I did not do 58 miles max as my GPS indicated. It was good, it drizzled a bit, but felt great.

TNT St. Charles - Lake Tahoe Training

Another interesting ride. We had headwinds and tailwinds. Of course, the tailwinds where fun. It was a bit colder then I expected and at times it drizzle a bit. I got some bonus miles, missed my turned and instead of doing 65 miles, ended up doing 68.4 miles. Such is life.


Taking a short break. Lots of snack, but now Pizza.

The route we took. we took two loops and out.

Final Evolution of Danny- Maybe

Ok here I am, the new me. Why not. New place, new image, new outlook. Lost a bit of Ibs, gained some muscles, feeling good. Got my result of my fitness test and I did very well, especially on my VO2Max 47.8. It indicates that when I reach 50.36 I will have a rating of Superior. How interesting.
More updates later

Lake Geneva Pictures

Well, here are some pictures. I was able to convince my "Old buddy" from High School to join me for this ride. He is a natural athlete with lot of marathons under his belt. He was obviously concern about he weather and that this would be his first time on the bike since last septmember when he did a century by himself. Needless to say, he sure pulled ahead. Funny thing, as we are cycling he was behind me and I could hear him say " DANNY your dead meet" . After the first loop he was game for some more torture. WOW, what a trooper.
Sasha, one of my mentees really Rock those hills up. She had a perfect cadence and power to speed ratio and men, she always beat me up the hills. She is Awesome on those hills. GO SASHA!
