Yesterday I had to drive through Butte, Montana, a city that is best known for the 1,700 foot deep whole in the ground known as The Berkeley Pit.  Despite my love of all things geology, I never like spending time in Butte, I prefer to drive through it as quickly as possible.  However, just a [ ... ] ...

I would very much like a bike rack outside my building. Not much to ask ... I have good reasons ... It's a heritage building with no car parking Several of the residents, employees and visitors have bicycles It's a busy area for cyclists There is a dairy and several restaurants and businesses along this strip that are visited by cyclists Originally there was this disused bus stop ... covered in graffiti, it attracted drunk people late at night ... noisy! ... Then after several years of

Anyway, during my ride today I came upon a rider sitting road side with his front wheel in his hands. I slowed and asked the customary "are you OK". Well, he was not; he had a flat and just recently started riding, this was his first taste of cycling reality, and he had a horrible time trying to get the tire seated ...

I opted for a smaller group this time, as you can tell. Almost half of the people who had initially said "Yes" to the ride bailed out yesterday (for completely legitimate reasons), leaving eight intrepid souls to take the ride. I'm bad with names, so I can't remember Drew's guests names, but there was also Badger, Darius, Eric, Ben and myself ... Eric was rocking his brand new Surly LHT, which he's just picked up. I'm jealous. More and more of my serious commuting friends have some kind of nice

It is confession time, folks. I dislike bike racing.  Sorry, let me clarify: I don’t like actually racing myself.  I like watching races, planning races and helping with races.  I just don’t particularly love racing my own bike.I am sure you are confused, as Bici is often putting on races and I travel to other [ ... ] ...

Trying to get back in the groove.

I decided to test myself today by riding my mountain bike from my house out to the Clear Creek trail and back to town where I'd pick up some more single-track at the Whirlpool Trails next to the Ole Miss campus. My calculations put the mileage around 52 miles, but it actually turned out to be more. I felt good until just over the 40 mile mark but it wasn't too bad. By mile 50 I hit a wall but was still able to pedal through it. All in all, I did pretty good for someone who hasn't trained or
