Spun Out
Wow… yesterday was a big day for me. Thanks to all of my amazing friends, family, co-workers and those even more distant, I passed my fundraising goal! When this was orginally set, I was honestly nervous about raising so much money… I’ve never done anything even remotely close to this level of fundraising. I’ve been …

Spinning Harder
Our training continues… but I still can’t meet my goal without your help. If you haven’t donated yet, please visit my fundraising page: http://pages.teamintraining.org/ri/ambbr11/mdieterich Please donate what you can, every donation helps! We spun for a bit over an hour today, definitely enough to induce some pain, but nothing compared to what people battling cancer …

First Spin Session
We had our first group spin session this morning. It was a great opportunity to see just how out of shape I am. We had almost 22 people show up for the session and were told that if everyone who expressed interest in joining the team does so, we will be nearly 40 strong! …

The stockings were hung by the chimney with screws. (If you can’t find the nails, what else do you use?) The children were restless, awake in …

Haiti
I just don’t know what to say about Haiti… At one point, I read an estimate that there may be as many as 500,000 40,000 – 50,000 dead! I can’t fathom that number of casualties and the level of destruction that would cause such a death toll. All too often, I think we forget how …

Monster Ship
26180This past Monday and again today, my commute has taken me past an absolutely monster ship at the Providence docks. Judging by the name, I can only assume this is a car carrier. I snapped a few quick pictures with my phone, which really doesn’t do this ship any justice. In one of the pictures, …

Going Greener
Today was the first day of the year I managed to ride the full length home from work, boy am I out of shape! By Rhode Island standards, we’ve had a snowy winter so far. There has been snow cover on the ground pretty much from Christmas and there are still traces of snow in …

Bristol Bike Plan
I’ve been terribly remiss about writing any cycling related entries on this blog, most of my energy has gone towards Bike Providence and Bike-to-Brown. As of today, I finally have some bike related news that doesn’t quite mesh with either of these efforts, so I figured I would post it here. I had a great …
