Hiawatha Cyclist: Nite Ride
http://hiawathacyclist.blogspot.com/2015/01/nite-ride.html
Make friends of the hills, be a peace with the wind, and ride your bike a long, long way. Saturday, January 24, 2015. Lesson: Always carry a backup light. I didn't, and it was a chilly/cloudy night to be picking lines on gravel in the dark. Goal: Get miles. Kinda did that, need more. A couple of tips for riding at night:. 2) Ride your night routes in the day, and know where the damn dogs are. 3) Be able to fuel and hydrate without looking. And operate your lights/phone/maps. And know what is in w...I'm u...

Hiawatha Cyclist: July 2014
http://hiawathacyclist.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Make friends of the hills, be a peace with the wind, and ride your bike a long, long way. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. I feel like a rookie again. I just went on a 19 mile ride, and even in the lousy shape I'm in, was confident that if I rode sanely I'd be fine. Of course it was on gravel. Hilly gravel. In Kansas. In July. Heat index 104F or some ungodly thing. Regardless, With the number of miles I've logged I was still certain it'd be fine. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cycling fatality, not far from home.

Hiawatha Cyclist: Base miles...
http://hiawathacyclist.blogspot.com/2015/01/base-miles.html
Make friends of the hills, be a peace with the wind, and ride your bike a long, long way. Friday, January 16, 2015. Today's Goal: Ride 1 hour, get Zen. Both accomplished. Today's Lesson: Never rush ride prep. A GREAT day to ride. We've just finished with a sustained arctic blast, complete with cloudy skies and sub-zero lows. Today has been 50 and the sun is a welcomed therapy. Also I had to talk to myself, over and over. I had to slip into the mantra "not fast up the hill, not hard up the hill, LONG ...

Hiawatha Cyclist: Cycling fatality, not far from home.
http://hiawathacyclist.blogspot.com/2009/06/cycling-fatality-not-far-from-home.html
Make friends of the hills, be a peace with the wind, and ride your bike a long, long way. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Cycling fatality, not far from home. This is a huge bummer. A cyclist from Arizona was on highway 73, not far from Hiawatha this am, when a vehicle who was reportedly swerving to miss a deer, struck and killed him. I don't know much more about it, and I don't know anything first-hand. If you are a motorist out there, please keep your eyes open, make good choices, and we'll all get home safe.

Hiawatha Cyclist: Kansas. Weather in Kansas.
http://hiawathacyclist.blogspot.com/2010/03/kansas-weather-in-kansas.html
Make friends of the hills, be a peace with the wind, and ride your bike a long, long way. Sunday, March 14, 2010. Kansas. Weather in Kansas. Torched my Ultegra rear derailleur yesterday in mud over my rims, which didn't even look that wet until I was buried in it. Somehow picked up a rock, which went over the first pulley, locked up the drivetrain and yanked the rear derailleur OVER the rear axle. I had two gears coming home. At least the chain didn't break! Should I bring a road or mt bike?

Make friends of the hills, be a peace with the wind, and ride your bike a long, long way. Sunday, September 15, 2013. I still remember how to ride. Was out for a little this morning.
