YTD – 3878 MTD – 370 Today – 25 I thought a lot on my ride today about a post from Mr. Smith about the ambiguity of rural signage. Specifically this passage: …we consulted the map (again) to verify cue sheet directions with random map names that we certainly find in both KY and IN. [...]

Today – 34 MTD – 69 YTD – 3550 I set out for lunch today not feeling so hot. I rode hard yesterday for lunch coming in at an 18.5 average then commuted home and back this morning. I had the right clothes on but I was cold. And route-weary…I tried to piece something together [...]
The Crestwood Killer – part 1
October 24th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides, Uncategorized
A century ride(100 miles) has been a goal of mine for the year. I built up with some solo rides here and there in the summer mostly topping out around 60 miles or so. While that is a pretty good ride it leaves a fair amount to go. With my sisters wedding out of the [...]
Mr. Mechanical
September 18th, 2009 · View Comments · Rides
After amassing close to 200 miles in the first few days of the month a wrench was thrown in my progress. Business required me to head out of town for Thursday and Friday, the weekend offered no relief as my wife worked pretty much all of it and my favor pool is currently light. Monday [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

Post Christmas Rides

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 [...]

Road Bike – Take 3…
October 18th, 2008 · View Comments · Rides
YTD – 622.05 MTD – 140.27 Thursday – 15.69 Friday – 17.55 I decided to take a break from the Bridgestone on Thursday and ride ol’ comfortable. I had a very nice ride down to the river and back. I completed the route in a little less than an hour which is a good time. [...]
