Doc on a bike: Well, that didn’t take long

http://doctoronabike.blogspot.com/2009/11/well-that-didnt-take-long.html

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Sunday, November 22, 2009. Well, that didn’t take long. If I disavow any plans as relates to the bike, just ignore me. There’s not likely to be any truth to it. So, having hinted, just 2 weeks ago, that I might not attempt another R-12, OF COURSE I went out and started a brand new one with an utterly unnecessary 200k yesterday. Two shots of Ron. Kim, bundled up at the start. Lots of cotton still in the fields. By the tim...

Doc on a bike: Two Rivers Permanent

http://doctoronabike.blogspot.com/2012/09/two-rivers-permanent.html

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Sunday, September 2, 2012. I was certain, certain, certain that I'd be riding Tony's Taste of Carolina 1200k this weekend. But as the summer wore on, I realized that I wasn't mentally or physically ready and that I'd have to be crazy to attempt it. (Crazy like actually crazy, as opposed to the usual "you guys are crazy" we hear on these rides). Early fog and Jacob after the start. Kept seeing these signs. Sorting out rec...

Doc on a bike: Wakefield 200k

http://doctoronabike.blogspot.com/2011/06/wakefield-200k.html

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Monday, June 27, 2011. For all the cycling that goes on in Hampton Roads, randoneurring is a. OK, virtually non-existent)portion of the scene. This seems to be in contrast with the very active DC and NC groups. So, it was with great anticipation that 3 of us took on Ron’s new Wakefield 200k (clever name to follow). In spite of the heat in the afternoon, we had a great time on a well thought out and scenic 200k. With ...

Doc on a bike: The Tour Baby!

http://doctoronabike.blogspot.com/2007/07/tour-baby.html

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Saturday, July 14, 2007. Comparisons are natural since we’re riding our transcontinental event at the same time as they’re riding that Tour de France thing. So. TdF- 2,120 miles. PAC- 3,380 miles. TdF- 22 (2 rest days). PAC- 26 (0 rest days). TdF - winner- a cool jersey ( plus $613,000). PAC - finisher- a cool jersey. TdF - London, England. There really is a dvd called "The Tour Baby! Posted by Doctor on a bike. When the...

Doc on a bike: February 2015

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

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. April 4th RUSA Dart. THE high score throw in darts. No, it's NOT the bullseye). A dart is a RUSA team event modelled after the Fleche. 3-5 riders, stay together for the distance. Traditional team events were point to point rides but the logistics of starting in one place and finishing elsewhere are difficult enough that a big loop is allowed (but not a pure out and back). For a finish to "coun...

Doc on a bike: Ron's NEW Permanent. The Hertford-Edenton 203k

http://doctoronabike.blogspot.com/2011/12/rons-new-permanent-hertford-edenton.html

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Saturday, December 10, 2011. Ron's NEW Permanent. The Hertford-Edenton 203k. I keep wanting to design a new route, myself, but Ron is encouraging my sloth by turning out great new rides. His Wakefield ride was already a favorite among our sparse band of randonneurs here in the Hampton Roads area. Now he's come up with another great and picturesque ride. Jacob, welcome to randonneuring; these are bonus miles. So, I missed...

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Monday, May 16, 2011. When in Virginia Beach. Two new 76 mile RUSA Permanent Populaires for those visiting or lucky enough to live here. Frogs to the Beach and its reversed version, Virginia Beach to the Frogs. Say you're visiting the region and want to see the oceanfront. Starting at the Chesapeake Fat Frogs bike shop. Until you ride over the dreaded Pungo Ferry Bridge. And then through the rural area of Pungo itself.

Doc on a bike: Eastern Shore- revisited

http://doctoronabike.blogspot.com/2014/04/eastern-shore-revisited.html

Doc on a bike. Mostly randonneuring babble from a sometimes bike commuter physician. Sunday, April 27, 2014. It's hard to believe, but it had been over 2 years since I last rode this 200k permanent. It was my first route and the one I had to design just so I could go for the r-12. (There was another perm near me, but I didn't recognize the town name and thought the closest was 3-4 hours away). So with a pretty decent forecast and an open weekend, I decided to ride it again. Part of the problem is that it...
