Utilitaire Controls 11 & 12   3 comments

Even though I farted out last week I figured I’d throw two more in just to finish off the Utilitaire 12 in good faith. Nothing exciting, just a little day-to-day stuff.

Utilitaire Control 9 – Lunch   3 comments

We had more beautiful weather on Thursday, and I forgot to write out a bill that needed to go in the mailbox, so I decided to ride home at lunch and complete another Utilitaire. 9 down, 3 to go…

Utilitaire Control 8 – Organized Ride   3 comments

I was out of town and off the bike Saturday for the first time since before the Utilitaire 12 challenge started. Sunday was Bob’s Rando Ramble ride and I decided to take a substitution from the provided categories in order to keep myself in the game. Including me, 8 riders started out in Carroll Park [...]

Utilitaire Control 7 – Work   Leave a comment

druid lake in the morning. I kept yelling at the ducks to come close for a photo, but as always, they ignored me. This morning wasn’t just Thursday morning, it was a sunny gift from God. I got up early, went in slightly late, and spent all the time in between going for an extended [...]

This Thursday I talked to Rob, one of my friends from work who I’ve been aggressively recruiting for the Rambles since last summer, about going out on a long weekend ride. He asked me about my 54 miler out of the city and I said we should get up early to ride it on Saturday [...]

Utilitaire Control 4 – Museum   4 comments

This weekend was pretty good for riding. I was up super early both Saturday and Sunday at 5:30 to get out before traffic. I had a bit of wanderlust and didn’t know exactly where I was going or what I was doing for Utilitaire 12 #4 so I just took pictures and visited some commercial [...]

Utilitaire Control 3 – Grocery Store   7 comments

I started off the week right with Utilitaire 12 #3. This time I went to the grocery store. I was going to save the store controls for later in the challenge, but I needed top-secret ingredients for my annual “Home-Cooked Valentines-Day Dinner Challenge” tomorrow, so I figured what better reason to throw on my lights [...]

I’ve been on the bike for utility every day this week, but I had a ride to the Charles Theater slated for Utilitaire 12 #2.
