Some more shots from today’s ride:
The flower on top is a Bloodroot and the one on the bottom is a Trillium. I looked for a really long time to find a wildflower guidebook that was decent. I have no clue about wildflowers, and turning page after page trying to find a match in most books [...]
Philip and I were going to ride today, but I got an email from him this morning saying I was right, it was going to rain all day. That is the only time I hate it when I am right, when it’s re the weather. We had been planning on 28 miles, and that distance [...]
After the library, I hit the grocery store. I needed a few items for tonight’s meal, plus a few other sundries. The DB handled the load without a problem, but I could shop for the whole week if I had a Surly Big Dummy. The General has been nothing but supportive each time I’ve walked [...]
It’s really not fair to taunt her because she has company this weekend, but it had to be done. Besides finding time to make wise ass signs, I installed the new Sigma 906 0n the Rocky Mountain. I can’t wait to go play in the woods soon. I have enjoyed the ability to ride outside [...]

in about six weeks.
Yesterday’s ride was just down to the library and the local bike shop. I had to purchase an important training tool for the Rocky Mountain. It was the only bike I did not have a computer for, and with the bet Karen and I have going, mileage is very important. [...]
Check out the first comment in this post for an excellent example of customer service. I had emailed Joby thirty minutes earlier with a photo of my two busted gorillapods, and asked what they are possibly doing to remedy the problem. Peter was not the person I emailed, but he’s made me want to give [...]
Gorillapod #2 broke yesterday. I have not contacted Joby, yet, but I am a wee bit frustrated. Gorillapod #1 lasted nine months, but #2 not even one. I had problems with #2 from the beginning. For example, it was difficult to remove the camera from the tripod. That’s what I was trying to do when [...]
I headed out to the library after coming home and taking the pack out. It was raining, so I was pretty soaked by the time I got home. Yes, time to buy rain gear for the bike. The most recent issue of Bicycling magazine, April 2008, has an article called Buyer Beware. They have sidebars [...]
Acceptable Transport
It bothers some people that I would transport my bike this way. I guess that is part of truck culture–whatever you need to bring with you–you can just chuck it into the back and take off. But then again, does anyone really like using a bike rack? Most of them are difficult to use, [...]
