If you can dream it, you can do it.

Accept responsibility for your life.  Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

The readiness is all.

CashCall podium! Cole House took 3^rd on the 93 mile Cannon Falls road race!

Chris Cole came in 32^nd, and Fabrizio Von Nacher came in 44^th.

That knocked Chris into 20^th in the GC.  CashCall Mortgage still holding strong in the Team Competition at 4^th.

Minneapolis Criterium tonight!

Had a great time at the Gran Prix Criterium races last night.  Our houseguest Chris Barton (Second in from the right on the start line, CashCall Mortgage team) was third in the GC after the time trial and came in 26th in the Criterium and dropped to fourth in the GC.  Good work Chris!

Today’s stage is a 93 mile race starting and ending in Cannon Falls

I don’t think you’re suddenly going to begin to look at the world with new eyes when you’re 80 if you haven’t been doing it when you’re 30.

Details of my rides on Saturday and Sunday for the MS-150.  The statistics on this page are from my cycling computer on the bike.  Cyclemeter also keeps statistics, but I do walk around with it in my pocket, so the numbers are slightly different from those on the bike.

Day 1 – Saturday

A lovely day with light winds and partly cloudy skies.

• Start time: 07:53
• Finish time: 16:28
• Miles: 74.95
• Average speed: 12.4 MPH
• Max speed: 35.8 MPH — On a hill outside of Proctor.  I think this is the fastest I ever want to ride.  Good thing I was the only rider on the road (as I was the sweep rider), and that the county had filled the potholes that were there in previous years.
• Saddle time: 6:00:58

A rainy day from Hinckley to past Rush City then clearing until Hugo, and rain to the finish line.

• Finish time: 13:03
• Miles: 75.46
• Average speed: 13.2
