219 and counting
April 6th, 2009 
Chris Doelle This morning was another in a line of recent milestones – this one, weight related. When I moved from Houston to San Marcos, I weighed in at 240 pounds (my highest weight ever.) I didn’t move for the purpose of losing weight. I wasn’t even trying to lose weight when it started to come off. [...]
Another milestone passed
March 30th, 2009 Chris Doelle I crossed the 19,000 mile threshold just a few minutes ago and I have to say it felt good. This marks 19,000 total miles ridden on a bicycle since I started keeping track in 1983. I logged over 2,000 miles in 1985 alone so in 25+ years 19,000 is nothing special. Sure, these are tiny [...]
Stat error in my favor
February 8th, 2009 Chris Doelle We all remember the Monopoly card which awarded us with an unexpected $200. It was a wonderful turn of events in the imaginary world of green houses and red hotels, but these things don’t happen in real life. Well, maybe not 200 smackers – but errors sometimes do turn out good. I discovered on this [...]

No Comments »The Tour de 20K begins today
January 31st, 2009 Chris Doelle I did just over five miles today on my bike and started thinking about a goal. Last year was one of my worst in terms of total mileage and I think its time to get my butt back in gear. Rather than just do something simple like set a goal of “ride more” or “ride [...]

October 26th, 2008 Chris Doelle As you have seen in the previous post, I just returned from a bike ride. I ended up doing a short little 15-mile jaunt through some of countryside surrounding San Marcos and it was great. Multimedia snafus aside, it was great to be out there spinning down the road. I went against the wind on [...]

September 8th, 2008 Chris Doelle That is what I said over the phone to my buddy Mike Wright this afternoon. His response? “I know what you just saw.” Yeah, we were both looking up some high school football schedules on the Houston Chronicle’s website, both hit the sports section at the same time, and both saw this: Yeah. This is [...]

I got a good sunburn and the layout meant not much booth traffic. We decided that rather than sit there and bake, we would head to San Antonio and enjoy [...]

It is a great film in terms of being inspirational. It [...]

July 21st, 2003 Chris Doelle The Tour de Lance continued today with some harrowing moments. With a little less than 10km to race Armstrong seized an opportunity to attack. Iban Mayo – the champion of the thousands of Basques who created an orange tunnel of enthusiasm on the final 13km climb – surged ahead of an elite troop which included [...]
