Cycling ’13
Click or not: Cycling ’13I got my Festive 500 patch in the mail last week. Last year I rode over 4000 miles. A lot of those miles were weekend rides with friends, solo rides at lunch and commuter rides to and from work. But I also did more event riding in 2013 than in previous years. Here’s a list… …

SST Weather
Click or not: SST WeatherBy: Mitch Clark Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyrxiqTmH1E “The Politics of Time” (1984) I’m really feeling autumn now. In more ways than one. The winds blow predominately from the east. Which makes my lunch rides fast. When I head out, that is. Returning downtown is work. I’m usually in my drops. Fighting Euros. Euros is the Greek God… …

BDB100 2013
Click or not: BDB100 2013I rode the BDB100 with two friends this year, Josh O’Neil and his brother-in-law from Colorado, Bob Ward. Despite showing up for the ride in baggy MTB shorts, Bob proved to be one hell of a cyclist. He had some great pulls and surprised me several time by surging around other riders. The climb up… …

Get Out The Funnel
Click or not: Get Out The Funnelsource: Weekly World News August 2006 Don’t ask me how I got the clipping to the left. It just showed up on my desk one day.

De Bobet
Click or not: De BobetStella – Bobet 1953 TdF. I’ve become a little bit obsessed with Louison Bobet of late. It’s the Tour de France Centennial hoopla that brought him back to my attention. Seeing black and white photos of Bobet in the mountains really showcases how epic the tour is – both in terms of the physical demands… …

All Shook Down
Click or not: All Shook DownSunday 6/9/13 was the Tri County Shakedown and for the week afterwards my legs were fried. TCS was an 85 mile loop starting and ending near Ferndale with one “mountain” climb and two hellacious gravel sections. And without a doubt, the last gravel course, let’s name it “The Bergs of Cold Springs,” was the deep… …

I don’t get to take them often but this past Wednesday was a good day for it. Highs in the 70s and a little breezy. Blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Beautiful. I crossed the Clinton Bridge and was coasting along East… …
