Bike Ride Stories: March 2012
http://bikeridestories.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Solvang - My Tuchus! Last Friday, I drove to Solvang for the first double of the season. Forecasters promised rain, so I shelved the newly-repaired Llewellyn and went with my fendered Spectrum. Checked into the hotel and dressed for a ride. I hadn’t been on this bike in over a year, so definitely needed a shake-down ride. Rode into the wind, westbound on Highway 246, then north on. Drum Canyon Road - also into the wind -. Oh yeah, the bike fit and the shoes worked out just fine.

Monday, October 17, 2011. Blogging is ultimate self-indulgence. If readers are lucky, bloggers offer opinions on current events, share recipes, or write about knitting. The rest of us are using blogs as public diaries in what amounts to little more than a "look at me! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Off The Beaten Path.

Bike Ride Stories: Knoxville '11
http://bikeridestories.blogspot.com/2011/09/knoxville-11.html
Thursday, September 29, 2011. To My Honorable Shepherd, Jeffrey W. Gould, who dragged my sorry corpse into the teeth of the wind up and down Napa Valley, Butts Valley, Pope Valley and who knows how many other dales and hills all day. Without him I may still be somewhere in Lake County, among people who count their teeth on the fingers of one hand. I didn’t have another one, so this wheel would be of no use. I woke up before the alarm at 3:07. Feeling pretty awake, I got up. Dawn was barely breaking. ...

Bike Ride Stories: January 2012
http://bikeridestories.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. I've been riding daily and writing about it not quite daily, albeit not here but HERE. But this post is not about cycling. Happy New Year, by the way. No, this post is about something I hadn't done since March 29, 2011, the day I broke my ankle - ice skating! Hmmm, let's not find out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Off The Beaten Path.

Bike Ride Stories: April 2011
http://bikeridestories.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. Recovery IV: Three Calamities. Tomorrow will be three weeks since the surgery and three weeks until I can start putting weight on my foot. Mentally, I am treating tomorrow as the end of the climb and the start of the descent toward recovery, as opposed to mending, which is what my ankle is doing while I can't put weight on it. I suppose this series of post should have been called "mending," but that's OK. Saturday, April 16, 2011. Thursday, April 14, 2011. Suddenly yesterday, I ...

Bike Ride Stories: November 2011
http://bikeridestories.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. A Wet and Painful Six Dozen. Ever have a mediocre-bad ride? Brian, David, Howie, and I came up to ride together. Mike G came up with Jules and Marius, a 20-something French whippet-like ex-racer. There were 28 other cyclists there - 27 men, one woman, all looking serious and fit. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
