Saturday two-fer
Went riding w/ belfebe yesterday, so she could give her bike a shake-down ride before the Back Roads Century next weekend. It was an eventful ride, to be sure. I had a two-fer - a flat tire which caused me to have my first full-on fall off of the bike. The biking gods were apparently not favorable to me yesterday. To my right (the side with the ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes you do things just to prove you can...
As some of you already know, I was originally going to ride in the Tour de Cure on 3 June, but shoulder surgery is happening sooner rather than later, so I will be unable to participate. I've been training for the past few months, slowing increasing the mileage I've been riding. Up to this point, the furthest I had ridden was 20 miles, and I was ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in Bike Buying

A most understanding wife
I have the best wife in the world. She got me a Kindle (w/ 3G & WiFi!) for my birthday. I've already downloaded Sun Tzu's "The Art of War", Machiavelli's "The Prince", and R L Stevenson's "The Black Arrow". Turns out many of the books from pre-1932 are available at no cost due to no copyright protections. Lots of exploring to do ( Read more... )
