2010 was filled with a lot of new things – most of them great. One thing it wasn’t filled with was cycling. In fact, it was the second lowest mileage total since I started recording 28 years ago – yes, it has been awhile. I intend for 2011 to not be my greatest mileage total [...]

More Cycling Coolness – Tour Divide!
November 17th, 2010
Chris Doelle I was watching a documentary on the DOC channel called, “Ride the Divide,” about the Tour Divide race. Being a long time fan of cycling and cycling events, I have to say that this one rocks! Similar in mileage to the Tour de France, it has a few aspects of it that make it much [...]
Le Tour delivers as usual
July 6th, 2010
Chris Doelle This year’s Tour de France is something special. Sure, I always think that the TdF rocks, but there is something about this 100th anniversary running that is particularly exceptional. Lance is back with a new American team. His rival, Alberto Contador is looking stronger than ever. Andy Schleck is tough as nails and proving it [...]

Reflections on a biking boo boo
June 10th, 2009
Chris Doelle I crashed my bike the other day – okay, crash may be a bit hyperbolic. I did have a mishap, but it was nothing serious. I was heading up a sketchy hill with a lot of loose gravel and just as I was thinking, “I should clip out,” I was on the ground before I [...]
Must be a heck of a distraction
May 27th, 2009
Chris Doelle For the first time in at least a dozen or more years, the first of the Grand Tours (cycling’s big three races) has came and nearly gone without my noticing. Usually, the Giro d’Italia is my warm-up to the Tour de France. Often the drama is more riveting and, at times, the performances are more [...]
Slowly, but surely
April 26th, 2009
Chris Doelle Posts like the previous one may be why I keep losing weight. Yes, I have dropped another pound and not sit at 216. This is the lowest in – hell, I can’t remember how long. As you may remember, when I moved to San Marcos just over a year ago, I weighed in at my [...]
Good things happening on several fronts
April 21st, 2009
Chris Doelle Seems that everything is coming up roses – well, not everything, but even those things that are lagging behind are moving in the right direction. First off the cycling. I now have less than 900 miles to log on my bike before I reach 20,000 lifetime miles. That’s kind of cool. Another thing (and one [...]
