I met Lee on the west side of town to help him install a fountain then go for a ride on the 50 year trail. Everything went well and according to plan until I realized that I left my helmet at the cafe on the west side. It was about time to retire the helmet, …. [Continue reading] Yesterday most of Arizona got pounded with rain. My backyard & patio flooded, thunder cracked and cats freaked out. A little further to the north and west, a few thousand mountain bikers struggled and suffered in the rain and mud at the 24 hour race. I’m sorry to have missed the epic conditions but also …. [Continue reading] Big ride for me today, at least biggest my road bike has seen in the past few years. It was all of 60 miles and 4 hours. The time flew by as Shane and I talked up a storm. We rode up Oracle (which is akin to riding on the freeway), then climbed towards …. [Continue reading] The clouds hung heavy over Copper Creek as we pedaled up through the Galiuro Mountains. It was a beautiful day to be out riding. I rode with John Hubbard, who had plenty of spirit, up the first part of the climb. I was standing on my pedals wondering how singlespeeders ride this road.

I’ll park on the other corner now. The wind has been blowing relentlessly from the east for the past 4 days. Today …. [Continue reading] I rode South along the Santa Cruz river, enjoying a blaster of a tailwind. I knew that the trail does not exist for an extended section, but decided to attempt to follow it anyway. I saw ATV trails, surprisingly fun ATV trails. I passed by a very active homeless camp with piles of garbage surrounding …. [Continue reading] Good technical workout on Agua Caliente this evening. Paula was in tow, on foot. We really enjoy this trail since a bike is rarely an advantage. If it were a race from the bottom to top, she’d cream me any day. I would win on the way back down, but not by too much. We …. [Continue reading] |
