Tail Tales from Cycle Training
http://jamieridesacentury.blogspot.com/
An often sarcastic, occasionally humorous journal of my training escapades in preparation for a now TBD century ride. I'll be riding as a member of Team in Training, and am raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society while learning how to actually stay on a bike and (hopefully) finish the event.

Julie and I decided, rather last minute-like, to ride the Tour de Peninsula back on 8/2. Yeah, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted — between fail lung sickness, traveling and book editing I haven’t been online much at all…...
These clips weren’t made for walkin’
Coaches lie. Sometimes the do it intentionally. They’ll tell you you’re halfway up a 5 mile climb .75 miles in to try and keep you thinking positively (or to laugh in their own heads as you suffer… I’ve never really figured ou...
Temperate triumph
What a difference a few degrees makes (temperature speaking, that is)! Two years ago, the Calaveras ride killed, maimed or at the very least disheartened what must have been a full half of our team. The weather then was so hot and the climbs were so ...
