blog
I use this section as an archive documenting things I’ve done in recent and not-so-recent years. In 2022 I made this my cycling journal, but if you page through, you’ll see posts that go all the way back to 2005.

fpv here - Work, travel, auto repair - a few things have prevented me from riding as frequently as I should.
Bike to Work (or Wherever)
A most indirect route to the office. See the fpv here

Had to see for myself, just enough room for bike traffic. fpv here

Tagged along with AIRCC for an easy ride to Alameda.
2023 04 28 Commute

This year's Ride4AReason took us 66 miles from Fairfield to Sacramento on a beautiful spring day.
2023 04 15 R4R Lite
An easy trip through Alameda before the ride to Sacramento next weekend.
Long Fingers…
...would've been a good idea, but I opted to wear short fingered gloves this morning. A miscalculation of the elements on my part.
R4R Livermore Lunch
The last long organized ride leading up to the April 22 event, a little 80 miles there and back.
R4R 2023 04 01
A solid 77 mile ride. Still trying to figure if it's an April Fool's joke, but we were informed that certain connecting roads on the 109 mile route to Sacramento - part of the traditional R4R course - are closed, and that we'll have to take the train to Cordelia. This...
The Arlington
Made friends with a new road today.
Early, Cold Tunnel

I knew it would be a gray day, but the afternoon winds surprised me.

Training ride under mostly overcast skies. FPV video here.
Tunnel Pre-Rain
Supposed to be a wet one today, so kept it on the shorter side. Because I've ridden through rain enough for a while.

Although we were soaked within the first 10 minutes, turned out to be a really nice day! Watch fpv video here.

Exploring the capabilities of the DJI Osmo 3 Action camera. Here's the video.

Solo Bridge Sunday
I was wrong about Cyclesports rides - maybe not wrong, but a bit early.
R4R 2023 01 21
Cold at the start, just on the edge of tolerable.
Not TOO Slick
...but it was a little slick, so I made it a point not to go fast on curves or downhill. My front wheel caught a ridge as I was climbing Tunnel Road, causing my apple watch to trigger an alert that I'd fallen. I rolled easily off the bike and onto the pavement, no...
Saw the sun. Yes I did.
on the day it didn't rain
R4R 2023 Kickoff
New and familiar faces riding on a spectacular New Years Day.
Y4K
On Christmas morning, perhaps my final ride of the year, I hit the mark of 4,000 miles ridden in 2022.
Just enough charge
Surprised that the garmin had enough juice to make it through the end of the ride
Inconvenient, indirect,
but determined to go out for coffee without getting rained on
kraft und kalt
Good to know I wasn't the only soul to ride on a cold December morning 🙂 Ride while it's not raining, I say

The sun came out!
