Clearly, there’s some sort of spacetime or quantum leak in the vicinity of my couch. Perhaps even large enough to be called a rift, although I’m not sure of these things. But a spacetime quantum leak would explain both the appearance of a...

Even on my first day in Colorado this past July, I knew I’d come back. The week I spent cycling the Front Range merely whetted my appetite for more. Now, plans are in the works for a return next year. Apparently, my experience with the BikeJournal...

We are at the beginning of a glorious Indian Summer week. While overcast, yesterday warmed up to the 60s by evening. The clouds moved out by mid-morning today and we had beautiful sunny, wind-free, 70° day for the election. Tomorrow and Thursday...

I met my 2008 mileage goal this afternoon on a nice, nice, 37-mile ride along the lake shore. My goal of 4,750 miles is now 23 miles behind me. Of those miles, 4,012.2 (84%) were ridden on the Portland, and 760.6 (16%) have passed under Yellow Bike’s...

This is my first day off in several weeks, and likely my only one for another several weeks. Yeah, there was our annual Leaf-Peeper Century to Letchworth on Columbus Day, but that was a lot of work. And I don’t count Sundays either. I subbed a lot...

So I’m working along at the front desk of the library when I look up to see a tall guy in a yellow Bell helmet come in. I thought he looked familiar. When he presented his library card and his account came up, sure enough, it was Adam, contributor...

I guess I wasn’t paying attention when the embargo was lifted. Just after the three-day 2008 Rochester Omnium, I was at the shop talking with Scott Page. After thanking him for bringing world-class cycling to R-Town again, I mused on two things...

Join us on the Columbus Day Monday holiday, October 13, as we ride to Letchworth State Park and back to look at the leaves. Last year we rode a 74-mile route at 13–15 MPH, and had a blast along the way, despite the wind shifting to give us glorious...

Shortly after I moved into this apartment in 2004, a new neighbor moved in. I won’t say my life has been hell since then, but this neighbor isn’t one you’d want to live next to—unless you like noisy, loud, obnoxious drunks with...

I’m still not any closer to fixing the gallery and posting pics from Canada and Colorado. Nor am I any closer to writing up the ride reports. It’s still pretty busy around there. But I took some time this morning to freshen the look here,...

Many people have asked me to ride the Highlander Tour this autumn, especially after having earned my chops on Mt. Evans a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, that trip used all my vacation time and I can’t afford the time off. This is where you come in...

My week away in Colorado was just too huge to write about in anything blog-length. Trying to sort it out chronologically is tempting, but I think a thematic method will be better. I’ve already written about the Mt. Evans climb. Other topics deserving...

Among the other souvenirs, I brought home from Colorado a wicked summer cold. Summer colds are always more annoying than than in other seasons, but this one is the worst cold I’ve had in years. It kept me home all day yesterday when I really wanted...

On both of my recent cycling vacations, I employed the “vague notion” of travel. I’d set out with only a vague notion of where I wanted to go, or what distance I wanted to travel, or what I’d like to see. Then with a vague notion...
