Name and caption are a bit off, but the photo is spot on… At long last I have something to write about! The Rando Ramble series has been on my to-do list for many months now. The Monument to Monument ramble came and went with me being out of shape and totally unprepared… Then there [...]

11.21 mi   |  44’56″ My triumphant return to non-competitive cycling. I caught 2 commutes last week, but this was the first time I’ve been out for more than 10 miles since… Forever. The ankle healed very well, but it took me keeping my foot up and being totally inactive for 2 weeks.

11.35 mi   |  44’41″ How to lay waste to a weekend ride. Friday night I spent printing, reviewing, annotating cue sheets, and laying out supplies for a Sunday Club ride. I’ve been feeling really strong for the past 2 weeks and was excited about trying a long route. Saturday morning I woke up to [...]

11.72 mi   |  46’58″ Ducked out early. Well I was in a meeting until 6:30 yesterday, so I decided it would be ok to leave half an hour early and take the long way home. Nice afternoon, and a great start to the weekend.

11.99 mi   |  60’26″ Monday Store Ride Missed out on the cool of the morning so I took it easy. Rode around the neighborhood with the wife to give her some training on the hills and streets, then went for  a visit to one of Baltimore’s newest bike shops – Twenty 20 cycling. Looks [...]

12.15 mi   |  50’5″ Sunday Store Ride When in doubt, take 2 bags to the store. The last mile was spent coasting home with a 12-pack of soda resting on the back rack b/c I thought I could squeeze 2 cases in my small arkel bag. I kin do it with the blue ones, [...]

24.58 mi   |  1: 38’11″ went north this time. I woke up late and was feeling pretty dejected for doing so, but decided to throw on a double layer of sunscreen and go for it anyway. Glad I did. Pulled one of my old training loops out of the folio and dusted it off. [...]

9.72 mi   |   36’28″ push yourself ride. Took the ‘lazy loop’, threw in 2 extra short steep hills, and turned a store ride into an aerobic workout. Wish I had gone half way down Bellemore and turned around like I thought about doing so it was over 10 miles, but it is what it [...]

11.83 mi | 51’19″ This one is for the 33 miles of randomness that showed up on my odometer this week above and beyond commuting. I turned a quick trip to the store into a documented ride to represent all the other undocumented rides I did this week.   I’ve thought about doing it for [...]

13.85 mi | 57’49″ Old Stomping Grounds…   I was visiting parents this weekend, so I took the folder. Waking up at 5:15 put me on the road by 5:30. There was NO traffic which was glorious. I rode to all 4 corners of the town I grew up in and explored parts in 1 [...]
