Truly a melting pot of cultures and approaches to cycling, North American bicycle culture has had strong influences from other. Countries as well as innovative approaches by builders. The craft continues to evolve today as can be seen in the many current Keepers of the Flame craftsmen. Help needed, especially for the early years! A period dominated by the legendary 6 Day racing men and their bikes. Updated 4.16.2012. Carl B. Seaman. Updated 5.24.2009. Updated 4.16.2012. Post World War II.

Road Pixie: August 2014

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Goldilocks and the Three Loops: Road Pixie Returns for the 3CR. Your blood work has markers for several things and the differential is very wide, but the internal bleeding, skin sores, asthma, and nasal involvement suggest a systemic vasculitis of some kind - we need more tests". Okay, time for a medical leave and let's cancel the St Louis 600k and the Cascades 1200. Maybe I can do a slow 200k? He says at once. "He was my neighbor and that is really his thing". Dr Phil looks d...

Road Pixie: January 2014

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Iowa, North Carolina and the Ride of the Year. Okay, this post is all about Pecos Lara. After a horrible accident involving a wild boar in Texas, she was laid up with a broken hip and spin and a dislocated shoulder. I've known lots of people for whom such an accident would mean years of recovery. They are not Pecos Lara. The 200k - The Iowa Leaves and Lights Ride. The wind forecast was equally stunning. From the south moving to the west at about 20-30 mph. Of course, f...The 3...

Road Pixie: February 2015

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 5, 2015. Last year, I managed to do Cycle Oregon (with 34,000 ft of climbing) on a tandem and 2 grand randonnees (3CR, and Natchez Trace 1500k). After surgery, upheaval and sort of a new body, I can only describe a feeling of “was that me? 8221; in response to thinking about 2014. This year, I wanted to do a repeat of the Gila Monster 300k in Arizona. That ride had been the beginning of the end of my health last year and I had been forced to walk to End of the World Climb. Whatever dee...

Road Pixie: July 2015

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 4, 2015. I've recently started a site of my own and have put the new blog entry there. It's a work in progress, but check it out and let me know if you have problems viewing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Behold the Summer Knight. This one, I got to name! Road Pixie and IronK. Captain and Rear Admiral. Me and the Princess. Never let your significant other name the bike. Lay me on an anvil, O God. Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar. Let me pry loose old walls. Lay me on an anvil, O God.

Road Pixie: Postcards from Florida: The Randonneuses Roll in the Sunshine 1200k

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2015/05/postcards-from-florida-randonneuses.html

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Postcards from Florida: The Randonneuses Roll in the Sunshine 1200k. I’ve started and thrown away this report at least twice. There were simply so many things going on that writing all of them down was at least 15 pages long for the first day…. So this will be a different kind of ride report. In the spirit of Florida in general, I’m going with a post card approach. Sure not so much detail, but hopefully it will hit the highlights. May 12, 2015. Postcard #1: Arrival In Fort Myers.

Road Pixie: The Cinereal 600k

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-cinereal-600k.html

Saturday, June 20, 2015. I love the GLR rides. They are beautiful and incredibly challenging in terms of terrain and, at least this year, weather. The 300k had no rain, but had almost 100 miles of heavy headwinds and cold temperatures, the 400k had rain and cold temperatures, and this ride, well, frankly it was the best of the bunch and that doesn’t mean it was a flowers and sunshine. Lisa's Bike - New Gear. Summer Knight - Minus a bag. That is a lot of colors.riding out of Delavan. Top of Freedom Hill.

Road Pixie: March 2015

http://roadpixie.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 14, 2015. The Great Southern Express: 1500k of brevet across Dixie. This was also the ride that pushed my lifetime total of RUSA kilometers over 40,000 and with it I achieved the Mondial Award, a goal 6 years in the making. I don't usually discuss awards, but this one was unique. I've always wanted to ride around the world. An entire 1500k without junk food? So while I was at it, why not see what eating better food could do for me? Yup, bikes get the full lane if they want it. I had never...
