What is an S24O? It is an acronym that stands for Sub 24-hour Overnight bicycle camping trip, coined by Rivendell Bicycle Works! I say that this was my first successful S24O because, last year, I attempted one with a couple of friends and we made some poor decisions. I’ll leave it at that for now. […]

Just about every Sunday morning, my friend Travis and I go on a long-ass bike ride. However, last Sunday the 27th of July, he wasn’t feeling well, so I went off by myself. And here is how it went. After learning that Travis wasn’t going anywhere that morning, I thought that I would try the […] As I have stated in previous posts, I love my bicycle basket. It works great for shopping, taking a lunch to work in a cold-food bag, and other various package hauling. Recently I discovered that the basket fits a 24-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon perfectly! Here’s some photographs I took of it: Cycling […] Just when I think I’ve conquered all the toughest road climbs in the area, I meet a longer, steeper road. But I guess that’s life in the Rocky Mountain Range, aye? That and I’m pretty new to cycling compared to many people I know :-) Inkom, Idaho is on the west side of the Portneuf […] Commuting by bicycle to work everyday is a great way to get into shape, save a ton of cash on gasoline, and emit less pollution.

I was excited about this because I actually had […] The company I work for sent me to Roanoke, Virginia for two weeks to work on some new projects. I met a co-worker of mine there who lent me his Trek Navigator comfort bike for the weekend since he was headed off on some business. He also suggested a few good areas around Roanoke for […] A few other people seem to have invented this word before I could. Rats. Ah, well, it’s a great hobby nevertheless, and one that I’ve started last week! Driving a car around to take interesting photos is too fast; you miss a lot in a car, I think. Besides, a car can’t go all the […] Last Sunday (April 13) the weather was wonderful, finally. And I could tell everyone else in the area was grateful; lots of motorcyclists and bicyclists were out along with people doing yard work and even a few people just laying out and sunning themselves. Yes, it has been a long, cold winter and spring. So, […] Last Tuesday evening (April 1), I did my first Tuesday Night Ride with Idaho Cycling Enthusiasts (ICE), which makes my second event participation with ICE (I did the practice Time Trial as well, previously) . About 5 other folks showed up, one of which I recognized from the practice TT. The majority of the other […] |
