YTD – 1077 MTD – 124 Saturday – 15.5 Sunday – 22.5 Monday – 18.5 Christmas was good to me in the realm of cycling gear. My Father spearheaded an effort to purchase a nice wool top and bottom base layer. The top is a quarter-zip Sugoi, and the bottom Smart Wool. Although the weather [...]
Riding Around Last Week

YTD – 997 MTD – 44 I come to you tonight from the Midway International Airport. Ingesting Heinekens and trying to play a little blog catch up. Personnel changes at the office have left me at least temporarily swamped. Throw in an all day training out of town that came to pass relatively on a [...]

YTD – 910 MTD – 171 Sunday – 39 Getting out for a rare non-lunchtime ride was the plan for last weekend. On Sunday I squared up my babysitting, got the kids to bed for nap, crammed in a bunch of chores and hit the road. I met up with Tim at his house, pumped [...]

Four months in

YTD – 870.62 MTD – 131.46 Friday – 16.66 I “celebrated” four months of riding with a cold, hard ride to Corydon Pike via Budd/Highwater lane. I reviewed Tim’s map of this ride and decided I liked how he dealt with the wacky intersection of Hwy 111 and Indiana 62. He went around it. Me [...]

YTD – 853.96 MTD – 114.81 Tuesday – 16.06 Thursday – 18.08 Well winter is here for sure in the ‘ville. Against skeptical looks from co-workers I have headed out both days that were available to me this week. I have been reaching into the archives of my wardrobe to fill out the needed elements [...]

A slow start to November

YTD – 819.82 MTD – 80.66 Monday – 16.50 Friday – 14.66 I went into last week knowing I would have limited chances to ride. I was scheduled to head off to Chicago for a 3 day jaunt to call on my favorite customer, hit a trade show, and have a vendor take me/us out [...]
Election Day Ride to the ‘ville
November 9th, 2008 · View Comments · Rides
I was able to vote first thing in the morning – arriving at the polling station at 5:45 to cast my vote. It was shaping up to be a no ride day because we had parent teacher conferences at 10:40 in the morning. By the time I attended that and returned to work there would [...]

A new Front End to Edwardsville
November 8th, 2008 · View Comments · Rides
Over last weekend my friend Tim headed out to get a taste of the Knobs of Southern Indiana. We talked a little on Thursday night about the best way to return to New Albany from the Knobs but we did not talk about how to get there. Tim found a different way to get to [...]
