I didn't ride on Sunday because I expected to do a hard hill workout on Monday, but those plans were squashed. Instead, I hopped on the trainer for another pyramid workout. Not only was I able to ... http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2012/01/04/love-stinks/ Friday's trainer workout was difficult. I had already ridden on Thursday, so my legs were feeling a little tired on Friday. Even so, I needed exercise. The weather was shitty. The trainer was my only option. I was going to do an hour-long workout of ... http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2012/01/03/winning/ The Best of 2011 was pretty easy to review, but not because of all of the wonderful content. It turned out to be a pretty uninspired year, so I didn't post very much. Even so, I managed to find a few gems. This is a year-in-review for Moronacity Cycling. ... http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2012/01/01/best-of-moronacity%e2%80%942011/ I thought I'd squeeze in a quickie photo essay covering two events at Addison Oaks this past year. http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2011/12/31/trouble-at-addison-oaks/ I wasn't particularly looking forward to my trainer workout, today; but I seemed to go into automatic pilot when I got home.

You're looking slimmer!" Do you have any idea how good that made me feel? I'm looking slimmer! Someone noticed! Do I think I'm slimmer? ... http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2011/12/28/in-spite-of-cheese-and-meat/ I've been doing quite well with my workouts throughout the holiday weekend. Wednesday, December 21 was the first day on the trainer (see Jake's New Toy). I "trained" again on Thursday for 40 minutes.

The tropical rainforest-like climate of Metro Detroit has been getting to me. I want to fall asleep during the day, and I actually go to bed at 8 or 9 p.m. It's really bizarre ... http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2011/12/21/jakes-new-toy/ I had the opportunity to take some photos of some of Detroit's historical buildings, once during a week of training for work, and the following weekend on a little excursion with Jake. There is so much more I'd like to see, but this is a good start. http://www.moronacity.com/blog/2011/11/01/detroita-photo-essay/ It was a race across the sky: the sun versus Di. I saw it sneaking up on the horizon as my plane flew from Detroit. The tiny glow gradually grew along the eastern horizon. Would I see the sun rise in a plane? Wouldn't that be cool!
