  • Guder had a flat tire

    Chris and I had a great ride on Saturday morning. The last 15 miles, Chris rode on a slowly leaking tire, so we had ample time for him to get an upper body workout pumping the tire. Other than that, it was a very wonderful morning for a ride. 54 degrees at the start, slightly chilly, but a gorgeous day.

    Some pictures of the ride are below, which mostly entail Chris pumping up his tire.

    Route Details:

  • Lunchtime Ride

    Lunchtime ride from Grover to Holzer on the Bike Path. 9.7 miles, 36 minutes, 54 degrees, and rain.

  • The sky is falling

    I rode the Fox Lake Loop today. I haven’t been doing much riding lately, so it was extra special to get out on the bike today. All was going well until a stick fell out of a tree and hit me right on top of the head. I suppose there’s another good reason for wearing a helmet.

    Today’s route:

  • Lunchtime Ride

    The weather’s been beautiful lately, and after yesterday’s 5-mile ride with my 5-year-old son, I was craving some more time on the bike. I brought my bike to work and rode ~7.7 miles in around 27 minutes. I was able to leave my office, do the ride, get a shower, and get back to my office in around 58 minutes. I rode my Yukon with the Serfas Drifter 1.5″ tires. I think tomorrow I may try the ride with my Forte VersaTrac 2.0″ tires to see if there is much of a difference in speed and effort. The Drifters are great tires, but I’m looking to get on the trails soon, and the inverted tread may not work so hot on the loose stuff.

    Here’s the route:

  • Bike Path Ride 9/12/09

    Dave and I rode to then end of the Athens Bike Path from Peden Stadium. The newly constructed path past Hocking College is paved all the way to the railroad bridge. Once completed, the path to Nelsonville will be very nice.
