“When the clouds, take the sky Does the storm give you life?” – Led Zeppelin 25th Annual Bone Ride. 5/18/2011. Schuler’s house. 7:30am. 50 degrees and raining. 155 miles to go. Awesome.

May Networking Ride ~ aka: “Cloosterfook”
A wise man once told me “…don’t apologize for things you didn’t do…” So here’s my apology: I’m sorry we got off the route. It created some confusion for sure, but once we got back on track we were good. If you ever see me at the front of the pack without a map, feelContinue reading “May Networking Ride ~ aka: “Cloosterfook””

Another ride in the books, and man what a day! 70+ degrees and sunny brought everyone out of the woodwork. The rider count was somewhere around 20 or maybe even a few more.

In an unrelated story, the sun came up today. It’s not that I don’tContinue reading “Drugs in cycling – AFFIRMATIVE.”
January 2011 Networking Ride recap
I’ve been riding a lot in the dark, snowy mornings lately, so I figured why not show up to the Networking Ride on my single-speed mountain bike? The roads looked a little sketchy, and I wasn’t sure who’d be showing up (if anyone) for the 20-something degree ride yesterday. Thankfully, someone DID show up –Continue reading “January 2011 Networking Ride recap”
