It was with great excitement that I planned a route for last Saturday to encompass my favorite coffee shop, and the three local breweries. It was the second ride of the RCCS I had a work “wellness” program to attend in the morning so I dropped the kiddos of at my folks the night before. [...]

Back on the Road

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 – 108 MTD – 108 Friday – 18 I rode a grueling lunch ride on Monday – using a route I rode before that goes out Old Vincennes to Old Hill Road. It is a large opening climb followed by heavy rolling hills and ends with a return on the hated Green Valley Road. [...]

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…
January 5th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
…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 [...]

A few horses we ran into just prior to turning onto New Cut Road. A fine bucolic scene just past the horses. Mr. SurlyTex himself. Just prior to the sky opening up on us.
Headed out to the County….sometimes it rains

YTD- 27 MTD -27 Today – 27 I started off the year with a bang today. In my scheming mind I thought it would be good to head out to my folks to drop off the little ones and head out from there. First problem – no way to transit a bike with the minivan [...]

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 [...]
