YTD – 2834 MTD – 161 Tuesday – 19 Right before I went to get dressed for riding the USPS showed with a new eBay purchase – some vintage wool in bright orange. Eschewing any sort of washing or whatever I just put that baby right on. Fit was good although a little long. The [...]

Out for a Sunday Ride
September 7th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
YTD – 2815 MTD – 142 The long weekend was looking like a no-go for riding for me…then my loving Mother called and asked if I wanted her to watch the children so I could ride…uh yeah. I thought little of the sprinkling rain as I drove out. I don’t mind a little rain and [...]

72 miles, 24 hours, 4 showers…
August 25th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
MTD – 376 YTD – 2614 Louisville was given an unlikely respite in late August this year. The temperature plunged to low and mid 70s, humidity disappeared, and a cool breeze filled the air. Perfect opportunity to really build some miles. I had to sit off to the side both weekend days past. The schedules [...]
Riding through the summertime…

MTD – 170 YTD – 2408 I have ridden many miles since my last update. I have found it increasingly difficult to maintain these updates I guess as many people do… I have learned first hand the feel of pack dynamics. I was behind a gentleman on the Sunday afternoon ride who took some train [...]

A Tale of Two Hills…
June 24th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
I have spent the last few ride days seeking hard hills to climb in the Knobs outside of New Albany. Fortunately it does not take much looking. Last Friday in the most most oppressive heat we have seen this year I set out to right the wrong of a week’s past when navigation errors prevented [...]

Of racing and recovery
June 17th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
MTD – 211 YTD – 1544 Although I took a break from updating this blog I have not taken a break from riding my bike. I am as addicted as ever and compulsively racking up miles where I can get them. My yearly target is up to 3000 miles and may get upgraded again. This [...]

A Nice Week for Riding
April 25th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
YTD – 940 MTD – 241 I started the week with the fourth ride of The River City Cycling Society dubbed the Paris-Redux or the hell of the ‘Ville. Both very tongue in cheek appropriations of the Classic Paris-Roubaix road race held in Northern France each Easter. The race’s claim to fame outside of its [...]

Lots of Riding, Not Much Writing
March 25th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
March – 290 Year – 630 March has been a great month for riding around on the bike. I’ve had a great group ride, 2 lunchtime epics, and a host of regular lunch rides. I have been able to get out on 14 of the 24 days so far. The weather has ranged from bundled [...]
Thursday’s Lunch Time Epic
March 12th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
Thursday – 21 miles I have been looking for time to write this entry for a couple of days. I took advantage of a trip right before lunch time to our sister plant to extend my mileage a bit. Once again I pieced together a few pieces of the route I plotted to get to [...]

Early March Rides in the Cold
March 4th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
YTD – 375 MTD – 34 March has been pretty cold so far…but things are looking up. I am writing this from Terminal 3 at O’Hare International at my new favorite eatery in this otherwise God-forsaken municipal bus station/airport. I’ve had two excellent rides so far this month on Monday and Tuesday. Monday was around [...]
