Hello and welcome to my little video channel on the interwebs.
My name is Scott and I am a commercial airline pilot with a cycling habit. I do love every discipline of riding; but honestly, my heart mostly enjoys being on a MTB in the woods.
The focus of this channel is shifting slightly as I am chronicling my progress while training for the Marji Gesick in September 2023. Change isn't always easy, and these videos serve as my progress photos, so to speak.
When at work, I am away from home and not near my bikes. The workout plans for work layovers are more of a hike and run type workout. While on those workouts, I am bringing a camera with me and capturing things I find interesting while sweating and exploring.
Good or bad, I will always be honest and open about how things are progressing.
Come along with me and enjoy the journey!

Unicorns and Lenon Drops
The illusive unicorn known as a "Zone 2" ride or an "easy/recovery" ride is something that very seldom is a reality. However, on one random Monday evening, we managed to find one of these rare gems. We also had a blast sessioning some of the fun parts of one of our local trail systems.

Snow Much Fun... then it got warm!

Day One Vlog 8 -Racing the Thaw The conditions were perfect! The snow was fluffy and grippy. The smiles and laughter among friends never stopped. The temperature was just right. We had a brief Goldilocks period in the middle of the mitten. I managed to get in a few rides with friends before the temps warmed up and the glorious snow melted turning the trial into a muddy mess. 00:00-00:20 - Intro...

Day One Vlog 7 Last week started with a snow storm on my first day of a work trip. Three more days of not so nice weather, a cancelled commute home, and several days where the temps were so cold that my kids' school canceled had be feeling a bit of cabin fever. The temperatures finally warmed up enough to make it comfortable to ride yet remained cold enough to keep the base on the trail frozen ...
Day One Vlog 6 - Burnout Sucks... I'm Done!
มุมมอง 33711 หลายเดือนก่อน
Training for life. Doing hard things. It is not always easy. There is no one-size-fits-all remedy. Sticking to your training plan when you really do not want to ride, especially mid winter with marginal weather and lack of sun, can be a challenge. Burnout is real, and it has hit me hard during the end of 2023. I am grateful for all of the amazing riders in the local cycling community that conti...
First Tracks - Snow Day - It was fun until it wasn't.

First ride of the season in the snow. I knew I was racing warmer temps. Managed to get about one lap in before it started getting a bit too soft and muddy. Evening, it did get too warm and sloppy to stay on the trail without the risk of making ruts.

Day One Vlog 4 - Rain, Riding, and Reflection

Rainy weather, trainer days, and a visit from my mom. Throw Iceman into the mix, and it was a busy week with regards to training. Nutrition is still a struggle, however, the scale and fit of clothing are progressing in the correct direction.

The Iceman Cometh Challenge 2023 - The Family edition is in the books! Watching younger riders get out there and race for the first time was amazing! This event is always a FUn time with hills at the end. I had a great ride, with the exception of some cramps on Anita Hill. We were a bit rushed to the start when we were unexpectedly caught in traffic. I did have my bottles with me, but the other...
Day One Vlog 3 - The Scale!
มุมมอง 49ปีที่แล้ว
Travel, bad weather, and a reality check. Normally, I assess my physical condition by how I feel, how my clothes fit, and how long I am able to stay in the saddle. I thought I was doing well, until I saw photos of myself at Marji. Not one to use a scale, I figured it was time to do so to get a new starting weight. Let's just say I was a bit surprised by what I saw.

This week's update.. and some riding among some amazing fall colors. Aiming for a weekly check in and trying to find my groove moving forward. Weight, caloric intake, and actual workouts are something which I look to add as content in this series. Here in the middle of Michigan, we have been enjoying a streak of warm days and dry trails. More on my why and my how in the next video. My GoPro was...
Day in the (Work) Life - From Dawn to Dawn - vlog 2
มุมมอง 108ปีที่แล้ว
Home to work to the layover. Typical first day of a trip for me at my day job. Part of my struggle with fitness is irregular schedules, time zone jumping, and sitting for long periods of time... but I absolutely love what I do to pay the bills and have no idea what I want to do when I grow up! Not much commentary, just a day in the life. Getting from home to work to the first layover. If you we...

A minute and a half of "Whoo's" with an EPIC group of people on bikes, in the woods, with lights. Impromptu ride turned out to be a party! Great group ride on an amazingly warm-ish evening in mid October.
