Happy Rider: December 2013
http://blackhillsbike.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 9, 2013. Custer Peak - Global Fatbike Day. Started at 22 below zero. We rode from Mystic Hills Hideaway to snowmobile trail 7 and up to Custer Peak. I was hot and tired so I didn't summit. The ride was amazing. I was also amazingly slow but the time and effort was completely worth it. Gear - 2014 Salsa Mukluk 2. Under Armor base layer. Columbia base layer pants. Under Armor fleece pants. Under Armor base layer. Twin Six Thermal jacket. 1400 gram hunting boots. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Happy Rider: Gold Rush Gravel Grider
http://blackhillsbike.blogspot.com/2013/01/gold-rush-gravel-grider.html
Friday, January 11, 2013. Gold Rush Gravel Grider. There is a new race in town. The Gold Rush Gravel Grinder. Like many other races that are popping up around, this one takes to the gravel and public access roads in the Northern Black Hills. It looks like there is a 110 mile option and a shorter 70 mile option. The Grinder looks mostly self-supported although there will be multiple water stations but food must be supplied. What do you have going on June 8, 2013? I need to as well. February 13, 2013 at 4:...

Happy Rider: July 2012
http://blackhillsbike.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Once again, no reports on rides. We did take our new pop-up camper out to a little lake by Hot Springs. Cold Brook Lake which isn't so much of a lake as it is a big puddle. That's not true, it's a really big puddle. Honestly, it's a lake, yet a small one. The case of beer is a necessity but what about the 3 gallons of water. I don't think so. Friday, July 6, 2012. I've seen it done but mainly just with vehicles driving by at 65 miles per hour. I've never seen one up close. Last we...

Happy Rider: August 2012
http://blackhillsbike.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 20, 2012. Centennial Trail between Elk Creek and Alkali. Yesterday I was able to make a small prep run for the Dakotafive-o. I only rode for a couple hours but they were quality. I haven't downloaded the data yet but there was much climbing involved. I started at the Alkali Creek Trailhead and rode up Bulldog and continued on a few miles towards Elk Creek Trailhead on the Centennial Trail. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Commuting and Dakota Five-o. It's probably too late to do any serious prep ...

Happy Rider: December 2011
http://blackhillsbike.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. Light courtesy of Light and Motion. I have this bike light. It's a Light and Motion Stella 300. I've loved this light since the moment I got it a couple years ago. Actually, now that I think of it, the light might actually be a Stella 200. Pretty much the same thing just less lumens. On that note, I picked up an extra rubber thing yesterday at my favorite bike shop, Acme Bicycles. Or possibly a short stretch on Storm Mountain. Happy New Year. Be safe out there. Preferably over ...

Happy Rider: September 2012
http://blackhillsbike.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 5, 2012. Dakota Five-o by dclements0 at Garmin Connect - Details. Most of the race I felt really good. My legs felt strong and my lungs felt good too. I can't say I was overly fast but I felt strong enough which made me quite happy since my longest ride this summer to date has been 22 miles on the road.
