Wednesday, April 08, 2015. Spring 15 Tour Day 5 - Nags Head to Plymouth NC. Hello from Plymouth, North Carolina, Plymouth is 76 miles from Nags Head. The wind was a cross wind from the south, which is why we got in two hours earlier than yesterday, which had tough headwinds. Temperatures were in the 70. All in all, a beautiful day. It's been sunny out, so I've got that bike tourist tan going. You can tell I always wear my helmet. The route today was way better than I thought it would be. We were more...

Sunday, May 17, 2009. Art and home decorating help needed. I love spring. My flowers are blooming. And I have the garden in. But here is the challenge of the day. Debra bought in a very nice new couch for the living room. So I think I have it. Disinterment of the Mastodon" by Charles Willson Peale. Who was from Maryland. Painted in 1806. Thomas Jefferson was convinced mastodons were still living in the American West. Http:/ lewis-clark.org/content/content-article.asp? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, April 12, 2015. Spring 15 Tour Day 9 - Biscoe to Oakboro NC. The great Spring 15 Tour is over. It was a grand total of approximately 645 miles over 9 days. It was only 43 miles today, and it was another beautiful spring day. Even more hills, but no biggie. Most of the day was riding through a national forest. Breakfast was at the Waffle House across the street from the Days Inn. There was a rooster hanging out in the barn my bike is leaning against. I wonder if anyone knows he lives up there?

Sunday, January 25, 2009. So today I took the Z-Bone out for the first time. I've got it all set up how I want. I did my standard 20 mile ride around BWI. It was 32 degrees out and calm. The roads were all dry, there was no ice to be seen. Here's the MotionBased page. For the Z-Bone loop. Here are some pictures of the Z-Bone as I have it set up. I hear on the BROL message board that George only made 25 Z-Bones. Here you can see I've got double-Ti Eggbeaters for pedals. Here is the cockpit. The GPS wo...

Friday, April 10, 2015. Spring 15 Tour Day 8 - Cary to Biscoe, NC. Yep, 80 more miles today with hills and headwinds, and I'm still handsome. That yellowish tinge to my skin is pollen. The air is so thick with pine pollen it looks foggy sometimes. I rode by myself today, since Jim is now doing the family vacation thing since he has ridden 502 miles already and that's enough he says. I feel like I'm just getting started. I'm pretty sure something bit me". There are footprints on the walls". It's mostly "f...

Monday, July 27, 2015. First Bike Tour for Max and for the Campeur. Max and I did Max's first bike tour this weekend. We rode out a ways on the C&O Canal Towpath, camped, and rode back the next day. Here we are after the first day's ride of 47.2 miles. And here we are after the second day's ride, of 47.1 miles. To make this a good test of loading up the Campeur, I brought everything we needed and then some. I wasn't sure how far Max could go, so I brought full cooking gear and food for dinner in case...

Sunday, August 29, 2010. Bike Ride Report - Solomons Century and the Dangers of Wal-Mart. Yesterday, I made my second attempt at a Crista ride this year. I finished, eventually. Here I am, after 10 hours and 102 miles, in 90 degree heat. Most of the reason it took so long was because I got hit by a car. This one here. As it turns out, if I hadn't got hit by the car, it probably would have taken a lot longer. Here's the story. Luckily, there were a couple girls nearby who owed me a favor. I explained ...

Saturday, July 31, 2010. RAGBRAI Day 6 - Waterloo to Manchester. If I look soggy it's because I am. It was 65 miles, and it started raining 3 miles after I left Waterloo. It stopped the moment I arrived at camp. From then on, it was beautiful. During the ride it was all downpour, thunder, and lightning. I should have slept in. I didn't take any pictures during the ride because my camera was packed away safe and dry. Look what I found in the microbrew cooler:. It's not every day you meet a pork queen.
