Made up for slacking on Saturday by riding out to Mason and I-64 with Will and Kurt on Sunday. Will was surprised to learn that the hills on the south outer road also appear as features of the north outer road.

Sushi on wheels

Played hooky to get some exercise between travels, with lunch with Ryan and Kelly at Wasabi, followed by a brisk ride with Ryan and Kurt.
Loop to loop

Met Ryan? at the Loop for drinks, then we took a brisk ride around the Forest Park trail loop. That trail is a known quantity for me, having traversed it by foot and bicycle probably hundreds of times in my life. This was the first full loop on the new road bike, and […]
Merriweather and William

Trailnet?’s Lewis and Clark bicentennial ride was advertised as “kid friendly” because the short route was only 14 miles, flat, and a simple there-and-back path that required only as much commitment as the distance you travelled before turning back.
The 46 mile route I took (after tagging along for the medium route with Mike on his […]

A lazy ride this morning from home to the Loop to meet Will, his sister Jamie, her boy Don, and Heather. Joined them to Brown & Midland, then returned full force against the wind and in the drops. Whee!
This weekend is the loft tour downtown, so the streets are alive with people the […]
Grown Ups

Alex rode to the loft, we both rode to the Loop to meet Curt, Heather, Ryan, and Will, and we set out west. We took Clayton to Conway, and at Chesterfield Parkway the north county residents realized they were not, in fact, getting any closer to home. Heather, Ryan, and Will headed back […]
Return to the midwest

Short ride from Ryan’s to the Loop and back, meeting with Will along the way.
One might think that walking all over DC? for over a week until my legs were sore would have kept then in shape for cycling. Nope.

Clipless irony
April 4, 2004 – 12:00 am
Kristan just got her early birthday present with a 105 rear derailleur and SPD pedals. She’s never ridden clipless before, so I was her personal SAG for Trailnet’s Dog Prairie ride and rode along for the short route. (27 miles with some decent hills. Kinda mean for the first ride of the […]
Those other limbs
April 3, 2004 – 12:00 am
Dana, Curt, Alex and Len joined for a morning ride to Tillis Park to watch a few laps of the Spring Criterium. Beautiful day for a spring ride, and I’m left with the comfortable fatigue that rewards exercise. My arms, though, are sore. Partially because I still haven’t been fit on my […]

Will, Gina, Ryan, and I rode down to join The Ride on the Hill, where Alex was holding up a crowd of 8 waiting for us to join. We rode less than 20 miles, mostly meandering toward the river and back to the cars for food.
One story worth sharing (second hand): Will temporarily swapped […]
