Kiddo had an orthodontist appointment at 3:30 and wanted me to go with her. That means only a half day at the office. Got lucky on the trophy segment this morning with a nice tow from a van pulling a trailer loaded with kayaks. Just latched onto his rear bumper…

Senior night at the Thomas & Mack means the last regular season basketball home game. Already have game day clothes stashed in the back of the kiddo’s car for when she gets here after school. Ride in was nice. One advantage of always riding the same route is learning the…

Loving these warm afternoons, they certainly make the ride home much more enjoyable. Overall both rides were good, nothing crazy to report.

Today was the first time I wasn’t the only cyclist at Scrambled enjoying breakfast. I rolled up shortly after they opened and looked across and spotted an older gentlemen locking up his flat bar bike to the bike rack. Was given the impression they were a casual rider, but still…
One of the things I enjoy about my commutes are the regulars. The people I see almost every day around the same spot at the same time. I like saying “Good morning/evening” to most everyone I pass while riding, and the regulars make that a little more rewarding. One of…
Kinda crazy that the temperature coming home was pretty much the same as when I left in the morning. Yeah it was a chilly one that’s for sure. Ride in was pretty nice once I’d made it to LVB. Was fighting a decent cross wind the entire length of Volunteer.…
