I want to bike to there.: Bikepacking the Santa Ana Mountains
http://iwanttobiketothere.blogspot.com/2013/03/bikepacking-santa-ana-mountains.html
I want to bike to there. Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Bikepacking the Santa Ana Mountains. Ortega Hwy - Usually not such a wide shoulder. The San Juan Trail starts climbing from the very first turn of the pedals. This would be a pretty tough one to start cold, right from the trailhead. The switchbacks were close together to start and widen as you gain elevation. I managed to clean a few of them, but it was pretty tough with all the weight I was carrying on the back. Switchbacks leaving the trailhead. None ...

Cycloblogger: Tour de Shunk 2009
http://www.cycloblogger.info/2009/09/tour-de-shunk-2009.html
This is our world on two wheels. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Tour de Shunk 2009. Last year the Tour de Shunk was scheduled the day after the STAP Ride for Life. But a good challenge for most people. Steve, Ben, Olivia and I decided to leave before the official start scheduled for 9am. The first 13 miles or so, with a total of 19 rollers (I am told), were familiar to me from the PA "Endless Mountains" 1000K. The next 25 miles were a blur. We were moving swiftly on a downhill section followed by a fla...

Exploring Kansas Back Roads by Bike. April 29, 2012. After my last ride I noticed a problem with the rear hub on my Puch Cavette II, so I dropped it off at a local bike shop, and persuaded them to let me borrow a bike I was considering as a possible replacement. It’d give me a few days to evaluate the bike, and see if it was what I wanted. Here are a couple shots of the bike as a whole:. I’m not sure if you can see it in the pictures, and it’s sometimes difficult to discern even in real life,...A look at...

Time Trial Tuesday
http://www.thedirtbum.com/2012/04/time-trial-tuesday
Exploring Kansas Back Roads by Bike. April 18, 2012. Not sure why, but I decided to run a little test today. I’ve been struggling with a feeling that my Long Haul Trucker. Is more sluggish than it should be. Eventually, I got used to it again, and it felt mostly “normal”. But in addition, I’ve been riding the Puch. Bike a lot this year, and it always feels more lively than the LHT. My speeds are not always significantly higher, but it. My question was: How much of a difference do tires make? The LHT was ...

Exploring Kansas Back Roads by Bike. 135 Miles and No Headwind. Posted on April 3, 2010. In Kansas, where the wind is seldom absent for long, a bike ride without headwind is a rare and precious thing. 135 miles of such riding is amazing. What a day! Arkansas, March 2010: Slaughter Pen Hollow. Posted on March 30, 2010. A quick trip to Slaughter Pen Hollow mountain bike park in Bentonville, Arkansas, featuring 16 miles of singletrack and a sweet freeride/skills area. Arkansas, March 2010: McIlroy Ramble.

Tour de Bourbon
http://www.thedirtbum.com/2012/07/tour-de-bourbon
Exploring Kansas Back Roads by Bike. July 22, 2012. I’ve been itching to get out on a bicycle tour for months, and one thing or another always seemed to get in the way, but I finally got my chance the second week of July. I’d hoped to get away the weekend before, but brutally hot conditions caused my wife to veto that idea (instead, I did a long one-day Beat The Heat. Warning: This is gonna be a rather long post! So settle in for a few words and many photos…). Here’s a rough map of my route:. I have a ne...

Exploring Kansas Back Roads by Bike. Posted on October 8, 2011. Upgrading an old bike can be more complicated than it seems at first glance, as my search for a better handlebar setup for this old 10-speed demonstrates. New To Me: Dahon Vitesse D7HG. Posted on September 25, 2011. Picked up a used folding bike, and took it for a first ride - with panniers and on gravel, naturally. Here are my initial impressions of the Dahon Vitesse D7HG. Project Bike: Puch Cavette II. Posted on September 22, 2011. Pleasan...
