Doreen’s 1st Metric Century

Doreen has cycled up Alpe d’Huez, Ventoux, Galibier, etc. But she had never, ever cycled a century. At least not until today.



A Perfect Day Above The Clouds

There is a well known “secret” among mountain lovers. During the endless, gray, depressing days this time of year – there is often plenty of sunshine if you just go high enough.

In Search of Snow

All the great hairpins from Friday’s ride were now surrounded by snow.

The Post Ride Meal / Beer Session (and dog pee)

By • Dec 16th, 2007 • Category: Cycling, Doreen

I’d like to think I may have taught Martin some great Swiss cycling routes and also introduced him to the challenges of cycling uphill.

But there is no doubt that he has taught me the most important aspect to my cycling routine: The post ride meal / beer session.



Local Trails with Doreen

By • Dec 8th, 2007 • Category: Cycling, Doreen

Enjoyable, local ride with Doreen on quiet roads and trails, she was pretty brave on a couple of very steep stretches.

We haven’t ridden that much together recently, as she’s been running a lot, and I have been chasing climbs, so this was a fun change.
