Free Wheeling, More or Less. Riding and thinking and writing down the parts I can remember. When I mentioned the climbs that had been eliminated and the 5 miles that was missing, one of the wags at the registration table suggested I just tack those climbs on to the end of my ride and that would give me the extra 5 miles I lacked. Somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen. Now that’s a BIG bike! This entry was posted in Cycling. And tagged CASA River Century. 2 comments on “ Before. It was a beautiful ...

Free Wheeling, More or Less. Riding and thinking and writing down the parts I can remember. A panoramic view of the western slope of South Mountain. Townsend Road leads up the mountain, meeting Gapland Road at Crampton’s Gap (center of photo). Is number one on my list of suspects–they seem to have passed from the flowering/pollen-spewing stage to some other useful pursuit, like crushing rocks into soil or oxygenating our world. For which I am grateful. Grasshopper and the Ant. And tagged Crampton's Gap.

New Year’s Day « Free Wheeling, More or Less

Free Wheeling, More or Less. Riding and thinking and writing down the parts I can remember. New Year’s Day. I haven’t decided on what my mileage goal will be this year. Last year’s 1500 turned out to be perfectly attainable, and when I consider that I didn’t ride for long periods (about 2 months, total) I feel it should be possible to better it. I’ve toyed with the idea of shooting for 2013 miles (get it? Gathland State Park, New Year’s Day 2013. It wasn’t much like winter. 8220;This collar is killing me!

Free Wheeling, More or Less. Riding and thinking and writing down the parts I can remember. Newer posts →. Raid on Harper’s Ferry, Part II. When we last saw our intrepid Hero, he was hurtling downhill toward a certain doom on a long, busy highway bridge filled with edgy end-of-week commuters…. A helpful white line marking the edge of the road (which was mostly filled with scraps of metal and broken glass, naturally). Little Known Fact: this line is known in engineering parlance as the. Stay on the line!

1500 Miles « Free Wheeling, More or Less
https://folksnake.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/1500-miles
Free Wheeling, More or Less. Riding and thinking and writing down the parts I can remember. Late in 2011 I set a goal of riding 1500 miles this year. That’s not much for some; I know of many more accomplished riders who tally thousands more, though I have no idea how. But for me 1500 miles represented about twice as many as I had ever done in previous years and was going to be a formidable challenge. Hat of next year? Should I go for a longer goal, or try to match this one? I haven’t yet decided, t...

Free Wheeling, More or Less. Riding and thinking and writing down the parts I can remember. I was ridiculously pleased to be able to wear a number at this event. Next time out I may even know where to attach it. The lunch spread that awaited us at the finish. Those are bratwurst from Shepherdstown’s own Bavarian Inn. The other end had salads and many other good things like that–I never got down that far. The temperature was chilly at the start — about 54 degrees, and it felt great. I don’...8220;Pardon m...
