The guy who introduced me to serious cycling and took me on my first rides some 30 years ago, Jerry Pagano, died last month in New Mexico.

Jerry took me to Nyack Bicycle Outfitters back in the early 1980s where Jim Skelley set me up with a Bianchi. I spent the next couple of years chasing [...]

I rode the Golden Apple on Sunday with eight of my buddies from the Long Island and Massapequa Park bicycle clubs.

We racked up about 135 miles over three days including a 50-mile loop from Woods Hole to the Bourne Bridge and my favorite ride of the year – a 56-miler around [...]

What kind of person tracks statistics like the mileage, average speed, altitude gain and time in the saddle after every ride?

Well, me for one.

A riding buddy of mine has made a ride log available on a site he runs named The Bicycle Site. It also contains a bunch of other resources for cyclists.

Check it out [...]

I piled up 96 miles last weekend and got a new nickname.

We’re rolling up an incline at about 12 mph on a shady back road somewhere outside Lloyd Harbor on Saturday afternoon, when Kenny the ride leader calls out, “Check out the driveway coming up on the left – this guy always has a pair [...]

Spent the Memorial Day weekend in the Saratoga Springs area, riding with the Mohawk Hudson Cycling Club (webmhcc.org).

We started the weekend off with a 24-mile warm-up ride around Saratoga Lake.
