Tuesday – 14 On Tuesday the weather was poor and I don’t really have a great option for bad weather riding so I finally used the set of rollers I got from a friend at work. Riding the rollers was a very interesting experience. It is intimidating to start because you are just kind of [...]

February Rides

YTD – 169 MTD – 43 Friday – 12 Monday – 16 February has not been so hot for riding bikes. We had a massive ice storm followed by the slop that you expect afterward. Last Friday I was supposed to go pick up an elementary school application from a school over by U of [...]

Back on the Road
February 2nd, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
YTD – 141 MTD – 14.6 Today – 14.6 After a ten day stretch of no bike riding I was determined to get out today. There were still patches of snow and ice scattered about. Really the only bad parts were right around my office building. I put some platform pedals on my beater bike [...]

YTD – 75 MTD – 75 Thursday – 15 Friday – 17 I ended up spending the last two days of the week riding on roads in the opposite way I am accustomed to. Nothing earth shaking or revelatory but just nice. Friday was a relative heat wave in the mid-forties compared to the Monday [...]

I didn’t really intend to climb hills today…

…but, I did anyway. I had in my mind a peaceful regular type of route today. I did my first, minor climb and it was really hitting me. In fact, I didn’t intend to ride at all. I left my towels and washcloths out of the mix when I packed my bag. Then the weather [...]

Riding Around Last Week
December 8th, 2008 · View Comments · Rides
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 [...]

Four months in
November 25th, 2008 · View Comments · Rides
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
November 17th, 2008 · View Comments · Rides
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 [...]
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 [...]
