Stone Mt loop

Here is a shot on the 7 mile stone Mt loop. Very active bike loop. Vehicle traffic one lane, one way. Then a two way bike lane. Then a running\walking lane. Then a sidewalk. Lots of training going on

Bike highway

Here is a bike super highway on the Emory university. Idyllic!

Free tours

As a way to get local input, I'd like to offer any local recreationalists some free tours or trainings. As we get our businesses rolling here in Atlanta, it would be in my best interest to get your opinions on conditions inside the perimiter. Call 9203712227 to reserve a spot or discuss. PLEASE?

Little 5 intersection

Another great day. Walk in the AM. Went to an exibit at Atlantic Station "dialog in the dark", a 1 hour tour in pitch blackness. Wild. Then a nice afternoon bike ride. Here's a dude cruisin' thru little 5 on a high bike. 55/sunny. Light breezes. Is it still winter?

Disc's fly

We are settled. Took the day off. Went for a nice AM exploratory run. Then toured the city showing Ben the sites. Then we went disc golfing at Redan park. Here is hole 15, fairway to heaven. Very straight course, lots of trees, no hills. This will be a nice course for speed disc...

Daily shot

Ben came in today to help unload the trailer. DONE! I picked him up at MARTA with the pedicab. The garage is coming along well. Pedicabs are ready to roll after we get settled. Got out for a ride this afternoon. Here is a driveway in the Oakhurst district. Did I mention its hilly here?

What a day!

Two full days of unpacking the trailer that 5 of us took 3 hours to load! We took a nice bike ride break this afternoon. Here is a huge mansion in a very old section of downtown decatur. Each balcony has ceiling fans (4). Look for the huge deck out back! Tonight there was some tornado action, T storms around the area. Very strange for us in Feb. Bringing the pedicab out tommorrow. Sunny/52 degrees

Pole is up

Here is the backyard hole. There is a empty lot across the street for frisbee & long holes. Sweet!!

Pams BD

We got our kids out for Pams birthday breakfast ride. Here we are at the flying bisquit. Then we took a nice two hour ride on PATH, and some streets around our city exploring. Temps @ 45 start. 55 finish. Happy BD Marty!

Ahh. Home

First ride complete. 64 degrees. Downtown decatur. Street performers. 1 guy doing fixie tricks. Saw a fully loaded tourer. This is our front door.

Daily walk

Pam has re-tooled her blog, walkwithmarty.blogspot.com and wanted to get a walk in. Here we are on a nice path in champaign, IL. 44 degrees. Getting better.....

Master packer

Here's the final row and the master packer, Steve, finishing 13 feet of semi trailer. We had a huge turnout at titletown brewery last night. Final night ride in GB after couple of oatmeal pale ales was idyllic! Bye green bay.

First row.

Now we pack

Last river ride

On Saturday we ventured out onto the duck creek one last time. Big sun, 42 degrees, and wet ice. Here are our bikes under a railroad trestle taking a break. The ATV traffic was fairly heavy, but they provided a nice track to ride in. I'm sure we won't be doing this in georgia.

Last weekend in GB

Our last weekend in GB was a good riding one. 42 degrees on Sat, 38 on Sun. This pic is from uwgb looking toward the mouth of the fox river. The fog is the snowpack melting. Most of the storm sewers are covered by snow & ice, so there are lots of big puddles. Wonderful, wet, & wild

final GB weekend

BIG thaw going on here now. For this first time in two months, it was above freezing at night. Rivers might be getting too mashed to ride anymore. Todays road ride will require full waterproofing, bike and body. Waterbed going this morning to craiglist, then I am riding from 1030 ish until3-4pm...this is the final weekend of our 52 years here...wedensday the 11th we pack the trailer, party at Titletown Brewery 7pm to 10pm, leave for Decatur GA the 12th or 13th..THEN we will have some hills to ride in....

Final ride meeting

Pam and I will be hosting our final WEIRD rides the next two wednesdays. This wednesday, the 4th, we will be at The Daily Buzz coffee house at 7pm....Next wednesday the 11th we will be at Titletown Brewery for food and drinks. There will be a ride both nights during or after the get togethers. Its been a good ride folks....thanks for your support

Above 15 degrees

Nice ride today. High of 18. Here I am at the foot of curly lambeau outside his stadium. When it gets above 16 degrees, the salt works and the roadways get wet/slushy. Two weekends of riding left in GB. Both days this weekend weird is hosting tours @ 10am. 3712227 to ride along.

two more sunday rides

Howdy gang - We have only two sundays left to ride together here. Today it is supposed to get to 7 degrees, so todays ride will be @ 1:20 from location to be determined. Call 920-371-2227 to set details. Ride will be about 60-90 minutes. Cover up & Layer....

Deck art no more

Get this. After 10 years in this apt, we had collected 8 pieces of deck art (bikes). Our landlord told us last weekend he has been fighting the city the last 2 months. They want them taken down. A 'blight' on the neighborhood, they say. Well we're moving anyhow, so here 4 of them are at thw curb. Any guesses how long they will be curbside?

Pay back is sweet

Here is my buddy NJ & I on the duck creek today. After 5 days below zero, 12 degrees felt good. 3 inches fresh snow added to the enjoyment. 3 more weekends in titletown. Watch for last weird outing. A request for the 5 hour ultimate was placed. ??

super sub zero riding

This week has been the super frigid!! Today I rode to the dentist, 830am, minus 13 degrees, wind to back. (-40, but couldn't feel.) On the way home, into that -40 windchill, and I must say you wouldn't last long if you didn't have the gear. My visor kept the wind off the glasses, but when I looked up, they'd tear and freeze instantly! Should of had the ski goggles on!! OR, we will be in Decatur the weekend of Feb 15, moving in! Just over three more weeks of this shit!!

Saturday ride

The ice is cleared from the streets, but it is more peaceful on the east river. Yesterday was about 10 degrees, sunny, windchills about 0 to -8. There is a 1 to 2 inch crusty sandlike snow on the edges, so the best riding was on the snowmo/atv tracks. In Georgia, 60 degrees.

Moving chronicles

Jan 5....it rained for 10 hours on Jan 3 afternoon/evening, then temps drop to zero, windchills 20 below, and it stayed cold. Todays high was 12, but sunny. We've had two days of total ice here in GB. As a pedestrian, forget it. As a cyclist, if you do not have studded tires, forget it. I am down to 12 lbs of air pressure in both front and back to get maximum studdage. Frozen river riding has been good this last week. Now the sidewalks are the best. Selling off all unused belongings and readying for move to Decatur in February. I am using this blog also as a diary of our move from a #2 cycling state, to #48. #2, yea right!!

Moving to Georgia

Even tho we have the best ice biking conditions in years we will be going to decatur Georgia this February. Weird will be changing to geird. The new blog will chronicle the move from the 2nd best state for cycling to the #48th.

666 hollow-weenie

Green Bays annual hollow-weenie dark bicycle ride is this friday night. Ride starts at 6:66 pm from the Daily Buzz downtown. Very dark route, scary terrain, and riders can "costume up". This ride will be hosted by Marty, so expect a "killer" pace.....

What a treat!

This guy was paddleboarding on the upper fox today. Here he is strapping up his stumpjumper xtracycle for return home in GB. Very urban! He has a prototype 'grill-o-cycle' for a bicycle tailgate. Cool stuff. Hope to see him on the ccc. And by the way, what a sweet day it was for outdoor activity.

CCC updates

WEIRDO's might take notice of some new events coming to the annual chocolate clunker classic bicycle parade, starting at 10am saturday october 18 from KaVarna. There will be the weird sprint, a 3/4 mile charge of the Ashwaubenon trail as fast as your clunker can go. (or you?) Next up is the slow ride. Forward movement required for a short distance. Last one moving wins. Next challenge is the popular skid contest, on St Joseph's hill!! Then to top all, the traditional "round-up". Saddle up, partner......Questions?

Mystery spot

Who can identify where this killer steep switchback is? A free tour or skill class is in it for the winner.

levis epic

Levis Trow trails east of Neillsville were the site of a WEMS event (usually 12/6/3 hours) that included instead a 100 mile, 50 mile, 25 mile option, and the state championships for singlespeeders at 25 miles. I entered the 100, and finished 75 miles in11 hours 12 minutes. (TYVM). You had to do 1hr30m laps (12.5 miles) to finish in 12 hours. Organizer "allowed" for light and kept course open for 13 hours. Based on your splits, if you were back by 730pm, you "might" be able to go out for one more. I "could" of done another lap, but I had enough fun. Toad Road & Upper Hermosas downhill, and the Switchback uphill were by far the highlights of the lap. Weather was perfect. 60's. Rain in the morning where you knew it was raining out, but you weren't getting wet. Strong winds in the morning, gentle breezes by afternoon. Bluebird evening.These trails are as epic as they come. Actually, they are IMBA epic designated trails. Get over there and ride, but call me...I wanna go too

SS state championship

This Saturday @ neilsville 25 mile. I'm doing the 100 mile. They do not close the course. Ride it!

Clunker rides

Two clunkers coming up this summer
The Breakfast of Champions clunker on June 28. 730am from the Daily Buzz downtown. Three bakeries on this parade pace ride. You will need a state trail pass for this one. Daily or seasonal
The Cowboy clunker is on July 27. This is our first night time clunk. 6pm from downtown, we'll ride out to the Oneida Casino for the free 730pm show of Junior Brown. Lights needed for ride back at 9pm.

new schedule coming

WEIRD is now going to try having scheduled workouts and skills classes. I am still working on the details, but something like basic skills at 2pm and 4 pm. Advanced skills at 630pm. Three days a weeks. Saturday events at 6am and 9am. Discuss....

Astor rummage ride

Get a clunker or possible classic ride this saturday at the astor park neighborhood rummage sale. 8am to 2pm. Ride early to get best selection. We will have a selection of good available, so start the ride at weird HQ, 642 S Madison St. I'll even supply the bike for scouting if you want

thoughts on duathlon?

The latest WEIRD multisport is biking/speed disc golf duathlon. Ride to determined course, speed 18 holes. Mass start. Clock stops for participant when they finish 18th hole. Fastest time with lowest score crowned WEIRD'est. Riders must carry gear, lock, and at least two discs and mark all shots (discs provided by weird). Off road versions will be hosted by the Winter Park Sports facility near Kewaunee. Triangles course has option of off road, but is it faster?? What could we call this workout?

clunkers

If you need a clunker for saturdays coffee clunker cruise, we gots some here for you to use. Our goal for the ride is to have everyones ARSE sore!!

Winter still hanging on

Back home, back on goes the woolies. WOW! Half a year of winter! Is this what global warming is? I am seeing more people out on the roads and trails.
Camp open May 1. Triangle is 80% open....some of the steep hills are still greazy. He-Nis-Ra should be good, but have not been there yet. Riverview is said to be in good shape, as should be Winter Park.....Do you know all these trails??
Roads are pretty clean now. Lots of pot holes and cracks are noticed this time of year, too. Skills to work on would be the bunny hop, panic stop, and the rock dodge...
It's an excellent time of year to work on wind gusts and riding into wind. (with the wind is too easy).

Tours and skill classes are available 5 nights a week, as well as 7 days a week. WEIRD works out on your schedule. To schedule one, call 371-2227

Gone

Those whole 10 days in Atlanta.....GONE. That is one hell of a nice town!! My plan to blog daily fell apart...We parked the van when we got there, and never used it again for 8 days. Very pedestrian friendly, also bike friendly ( they drive fast, but they're nice, IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES). There were a lot of BAD cyclist down there. It was very hilly for cycling ALL the time!! It is the #2 reason more locals dont ride. We rode a path from near downtown, all the way out to Stone Mountain. (24 miles one way) There is this huge rock out in nowheres land?? Massive relief statue in the rock that makes Rushmore seem small. We rode the 6 mile "loop" of the park....WOW!! Shaded most of the way around, one lane for traffic, a bike lane, a runner lane, and a sidewalk.. It was as close to heaven as I've been on a bike, ever....then we rode back to downtown (24 miles). We felt the Decatur area was what we were looking for. Unlimited job potential. I want to duplicate what we wanted to do here. What do you think of when you hear urban guide??

Multimedia message

Left Thursday morn. Drove 2 Nashville. rained into Atlanta. Rained all night Pam @ I walked Saturday morn around Virginia highlands coffee @ san fransisco coffee. 60 degrees! Its supposed to rain all day. Gonna go walking some more. Later.

making Atlanta WEIRD

Pam and I, and our bikes, are going to Atlanta for the next two weekends. I will be mobile blogging most days and nights to chronicle our activities. Watch for 'em.....

Annual Coffee Clunker May 3

The annual CCC is May 3...9am is the time from KaVarna. This ride is meant for clunkers, classics, cruisers, muscle or pixies, or any human powered vehicle, as we will ride 13 miles in three hours, stop at 3 coffee shops, and have a parade pace ride inbetween. No fees for this ride, but this is an introduction to what a WEIRD tour could be like...

St Pats alleyrat

Get your irish on tonight...7pm from bayparkmall entrance, off Holmgren by moviehaus

Studs are off and momentum returns

Riding weather is coming back. It hit 40 degrees F today. Set up a tour or training now and get your spin on!

WEIRD Tours

OK...lets not think of anything as training. Training is tough. How 'bout we use the word tour as the description? Training is just a benefit. I see way too many "skiers" who are out there just for the workout. "Bikers" who think commuting miles are junk miles? Runners who always run the same pace, same course, same way, same time, etc....By going into tour mode, thinking of the exercise as a adventure with a specific goal at the end, WEIRD puts the joy back into our games of choice.
WEIRD Tours are being booked now from this blog. WEIRD Tours can be combined for multiple sports. WEIRD Tours can have an educational aspect. Watch for more info. Three free tours for the first three weirdo's to respond to this post

Alternate Birkie

53K road/ice ride (not ski) instead of doing the Birkebeiner. 9am Saturday Feb 23. Studded tires highly recommended, but not absolutely needed. Will probably do some skiing and/or snowshoeing also this weekend. Tours and trainings available.

digging out

What do you all think of shoveling as a sport? It does build up a sweat doing it. We've had about a foot of snow in the last few days....Marty snapped a picture of me going to work sunday...I have attached it here....

Sheldon Brown ride

Sheldon Brown -Internet en"cyclo"pedia and bicycle wrench extrodinare passed away last week. Bummer......today we will ride for him. Call 371-2227 for direction. His websites will live forever...

best riding in the city

Riding around the last few day, I realized the Kress Trail is the best "in city" winter cycling venue. Still need studs for the best effect, but it is plowed and traffic free. I have used this trail many times this year, going back and forth. Twice with 2 or better inches of snow, no other tracks!! Ahhhhh......also, the Cora Vanderperren trail around East high is plowed, making a nice loop combined with the Kress.

winter returns

THIS is the best snow season in decades!! It wont stop! Bicycling conditions are in one word - messy - very tough conditions since before christmas!! I have only "1" road ride with dry roads and partial sun...... river and bay ice had about a 10day season so far...yesterdays warm slop sent what was bettering conditions on Bairds Creek bye-bye. Good snowshoe running in all parks and preserves. Skiing has been available since like November. All Wisconsin trails are top notch! Telefest happening this weekend up at the Porkies. superb conditions on Lake Superior. Get out and get WEIRD. Going out riding today to test the alleyways....main roads are aweful wet and salty and cruddy and hostile, but its better than a trainer anytime!

Todays conditions

Bicycling conditions today are like loose cream of wheat on top of swiss cheese ice. Be careful!

WEIRD contest 2008

This year, as an added bonus to our trainings, any pictures I post to this blog are open for interpretation. If you can guess where it is, or we pass it during a workout and you mention the picture, that weirdo will get a free workout, or swag. Let the games begin.......

I was out there

Went out tonight in the snowstorm. Urban trails were awesome! 2 inches virgin track

Text only

1st try sending text from mobile. Having hard time motivating to get out and ride. I need your help. Call for a weird workout

brain freeze promotes new WEIRDness

holy schnikes!! Last night NFC game was freeking cold! 77,000 packer fans,(ok, some were from NY) and 5 pedicabs. We lasted until about 10pm, when temps were negative 8, windchills about -25, give or take a few degrees. WEIRD could be described as dumb or stoopit when venturing out in those conditions. But with the right gear, you're ass will be saved. Call for more info...
Upon thawing out, I was gonna post something when I ran across the option of mobile blogging. My new mobile email is weird@att.blackberry.net. I am also gonna post from my handheld, possibly with pics. The only thing that will stay the same this year is change....

Multimedia message

Set up blogger to go

working it !!

anyone else riding sunday, the 20th. WE are pedicabbing the nfc game at Lambeau!! Sometimes being weird might be stoopit...stay tuned for details

whats too cold?

Yikes!!!!! -30 windchills. Temps of -3 degrees. Is it too cold to workout outside? Not if you're WEIRD. Here are some guidelines.
If possible, get deep into the woods
Plan routes that are very sheltered. I like using city alleys when its real cold.
Fight the wind while you're warm
Layers, layers of clothing. Carry extra clothing and space to shed clothes
Tell someone the 'plan'
Call someone to join you.There is safety in numbers

Todays WEIRD WO is backcountry skiing @ triangle or HeNisRa. Call 371-2227 to hook up

january thaw/snow/freeze

Its been a wacky winter so far....Last thursday morning the roads were clean and dry! Perfect. By Friday things were back to normal....wet/snowy/slush....Saturdays packer playoff game at Lambeau would of been OK "IF" the unnanounced snow storm didn't hit during the game. Over 2 inches came down pretty hard as the 6 pedicabs working the game laughed and kept on working...it was a tough ride home....River and ice riding are now out as last weeks thaw and a wet snow over the water makes them unridable...running's OK, but you will get sloshed...not enough snow for 'shoeing....skiing should be marginal, but doable....Keep a weird attitude, it'll be over soon

Happy Festivus to all and ride your bike

Its a festivus miracle!! We all made it to another holiday season!! I am proud to have ridden, walked, ran, skied, shoe'd, triked, cabbed, and partied with all of you weirdos
Join us this holiday season for ice biking on the devils river! Put your studs on and get out there!
I rode the fox river trail today to Lazarre St from Mile 0. It was a workout, a mix of pavement, foot path, frozen foot path, ice, and drifts (1 was over my knees...i didn't make it). Goood stuff
Pam and I are also hosting a gathering on the 29th...6-8 pm, then a bike ride........Join us

BikeWinter Stud Series

In cooperation with the NEW RatRiders, WEIRD, REST, and others, Green Bay's first outdoor winter bike event series is launching on Dec 4. (530 pm from WEIRD HQ's.) On weekday nights, we will ride pavement, alleys, and/or trails. On weekends, we will ride ice (rinks/creeks/ rivers/bays/ lakes). Tonights stud race will be the Nor'Easter alleyrat. Free earwarmers to first weirdo to mention this blog

November already

Last weekend of riding at the camp coming up. sunday 11-4 is the last day. sunset it's over. probably a ratride out there on sunday afternoon. I need to get my butt off the bike seat, and start blogging again, get the weird trainings going. first response gets a free training

WEMS camp race

The Stump farm 12 hour is this saturday, the 1st of Sept....go out there and do the 3, 6, or 12 hour race. they have an excellent track set for this event. You will enjoy this event. Bill and the crew do an excellent job.

Bike @ the Moon #7

The seventh annual B@TM is on! Start from the bike parking facility in the Cherry St ramp, downtown Green Bay at 10:38 pm. This will be a 15 mile, parade pace tour of titletown. There "might" be one rest stop along the way, but this will be decided by the group. Prizes will be awarded for most illumination. (white headlight and red reflector minimum) Also, some other prizes for various contest before & during ride. Please make sure your ride is "solid", as making repairs in the dark are challenging. Anyone posting a comment on this site will get reward. Questions???

Bike @ the Moon

WEIRD is thinking of hosting this years Bike @ the Moon. A evening bike ride (10:38 pm start) of about 15 miles, two hours. This will be a nice change of pace from all the racing everyone's been doing. Dates are either friday august 24th or saturday august 25th. Ring in if you're interested or have a question. Otherwise, its your duty to be there. Totally a WEIRD event

how to train for a 24 hr mtb

Ride a bunch. Simple. But seriously, as this will be my first time ever doing an event as a member of a team, there has to be a different strategy. As riders will take just over an hour to do a lap, I have been training 2 to 5 times a day, short and sweet workouts. Most workouts are under 3 hours, with a lot in the 60-90 minutes. Also riding when tired seems to be paying off. Does anyone have an opinion on this one?

Still out there, where have you been

I haven't posted in a while, but WEIRD is going strong this season. Training for 24@9, 100 mile race @ Neilsville, and Fat Tire. Road cycling skill classes have seemed to be exclusively for fixies?? Can you ride your fixie well? Call 371-2227 for a training.

DORT open again

DORT, the downtown off road trail, which weird uses as a off road skill building trail, is once again open....if we get too much rain, it might close again, but 70% is open as of today....schedule a tour/training soon by calling 371-2227

ROADIE 101

A urban bicycle riding skill class is now open for enrollment. Most training should be done on the pave as we thaw out. You need to "drive your bike". Same roads, same rules, same rights! Period. It is the safest way to ride. I can prove it. Classes are scheduled around your schedule/training

DORT frozen & open

With the cold upon us AGAIN, DORT is frozen and 90% open..riding friday until 100 pm....Tours available

St pattys DAY alleycat

WEIRD is hosting the first RAT race of the season this saturday at 9am. Depart from Maloneys pub on Washington St downtown GB...We will be going about 30 miles, three hours, and exploring the alleys of brown county. This is a tour with stage races a various locations. Studded tires not needed as the melt has taken hold everywhere....should be good weather....Wear green, be green, ride your bike

conditons and activities

As of 3-8 most roads are in decent shape... minor side roads are still snow covered. I am amazed how beneficial studded tires have been for riding this year. They really allow you to ride in almost any weather. I think that new salt/brine mix they throw on the roads now is helping, but I wonder what the health risk is in breathing that shit?? Especially being passed by large trucks/buses who will not yield/slow for a cyclist or pedestrian. The worse the conditions are, the more you should take your lane....gonna downhill ski on sunday @ Marquette Mt....Saturday should be an epic ride...who's in?

good snow in GB

any snow sport is doable in GB now...gonna get a nice road ride in today, then another foot of snow is suppose to dump. Get a good weird workout in by calling 371-2227

Nice storm!

14 inches officially in Green Bay....got out BC skiing @ Bairds/Triangle 4 hours sunday....sweet...should be good shoe'in and BCski this week.....tuesday and wednesday nights...say 530ish??

DORT in the morning 2-24

Get the bikes...DORT is open and will be ridden all morning until the snow flies....call 371-2227 to ride with...studded tires NOT needed...nice frozen grass with 1% snowcover....My mtb is fixed, and I wont break it, so pace is gonna be relaxed with spurts.

week of Feb 19 - 25

Its time to dust that bike off and get it ready to go for the season (if you didn't already take care of this). With warmer temps this week, its time to start working on spinning and saddletime. If you're doing the Birkie, some easy biking will be good for your mental prep. Keep intensity low. both tuesday and wednesday evenings/late afternoons we will be doing some light workouts on the bike. Join in...Call 371-2227 to participate

happy birthday Pam

my wife is celebrating her Bday today. I was priviledged to accompany her start of her next challenge this morning. She is walking to San Luis Obisbo CA. We did 4 miles this morning. I am going to walk with her as much as I can. Check out her blog at http://walkingwithmarty.blogspot.com

And you thought only I was WEIRD

are you studded?

I have to say installing studded tires on a bike was the greatest thing I did this winter. It allows biking in the winter with a minimal wipeout factor. I had resisted using studded tires, telling myself my handling skill will get me through, and my balance would be heightened. (I also used to wipeout at least once a year, usually on "black ice" in a shaded turn or close to the curbs/cracks. All the fears are eliminated with studs! We have been riding on the bay of GB and the local smaller rivers. Conditions are awesome now after the deep freeze and minimal snow. WEIRD is going out this weekend to ride the ice. We will be waiting until mid day to take advantage of the warmth. Ride along.

coming out of the deep freeze

Wisconsin is coming off a week of below zero temps... this weekend looks good to be out there enjoying it....biking on the ice should be the best of conditions....snow around GB is old and hard....get in on a workout
