So, this began happening today. Thought I might as well join the conversation. I haven’t been on a trainer since 2018, when I did a winter of Trainer Road, prior to the last season I actually raced bikes. Right now, I’m doing Rouvy, which has been Mrs. G’s choice for several years (that’s her...

If you order from the Trek website, shipping is free. Wahoo charges $20 for shipping. Purchase price $399 on both sites.

I don’t see “TOILET” listed here, which seems pretty important, given the frequent Taco Bell stops…

Got out to Thompson Park today for 5.5 miles of groomed track. Conditions were very good. Hoping to go again in the next few days, but the forecast temperatures Friday and Saturday are giving me some pause… Next week is looking a little more civil.

Added Deschutes Black Butte NA porter to the rotation.

For those of you who are Stephen King-curious, I highly recommend Night Shift, King’s first published collection of short stories. I’m pretty sure I’ve already mentioned this book around these parts, however many years ago.

Rode everything in both parks this morning. Conditions in Hartshorne are prime right now. I enjoyed the recent work done on the Water Tower flow trail. Substantial tree across the trail on the western-most section of Many Log Run in Huber, just past the parking lot on Bowne Rd. The tree is at...

I’m planning to be there. Will lead a group. We’ll do Hartshorne & Huber. Total riding will be about 16 miles.

This immediately sent me to the BMW site, to see the details. 717hp hybrid. 😳
