The great thing about cyclocross compared to mountain biking is that with the latter, when it’s nasty out, you’re advised to stay off the bike and give the trails some time to drain and with the former, the nastier it is the better because nobody cares about public parks, disc golf fairways and parking lots [...]

After Bloggy’s encounter with “The Joggers And The Mystery of the Right Of Way”, the palm and fingers were pretty banged up. Riding was difficult if not impossible. Riding without gloves was out of the question. Bloggy has never donned gloves for the road bike but desperate times called for desperate measures. Being without a [...]

I was stuck in line at my neighborhood biscuit cobbler this morning waiting on my handmade bacon, egg and cheese and it was taking FOREVER. I was on the verge of completely flipping out and karate chopping the elderly lady in front of me in her wrinkly old neck when I took a deep breath [...]

Here’s the storm that was a brewin’ Sunday afternoon that truncated our relaxed road ride but bumped up the effort/intensity levels by ten fold. Yes, pictures of clouds are awesome and inspiring, yet terrifying. Thanks to Billiam for the inspiration. In racing news, congratulations to Hawley north Florida sales rep and devoted family man Andrew [...]

After arriving at Big Rock trail, I decided to put the camera away as it was detracting from the “overall ride quality”. However, even though I have ridden Big Rock clockwise several times, rounding the corner and seeing the backside of the “big rock” always freaks me out. Looks like some Tolkien-ian goblin hunched over [...]

I was thumbing though some Celine last night and a particularly nasty and brutish passage reminded me of this. Life is not always pretty… As some of you know, Bloggy’s Luddite tendencies run deep, but after this weekend’s glut of ride information, it may be time to upgrade the 1987 analog Cateye motion computer (doesn’t [...]
Limp Biscuit

“And Cullinan is pedalin’ with fury!” Straight baller. Yesterday’s commute into work was slow going.

Luckily on Platt Springs, a FORD F-150 (+4.3) [...]
