Scenic Route

…are coming next week. Maybe.

I was interviewed yesterday by a columnist for the Associated Press. He’s doing a piece on car-free commuting. While researching on one of the bike forums, he liked parts of my story and the way I put things.

We did a 15-minute phone interview. When we finished, he [...]

One of the perqs I’ll miss from my current job at the library is old magazines. Certain titles make a detour home with me on the way to the recycle bin.

Earlier tonight I was reading the March 2005 issue of Wired. In an article titled “The Resurrection of Indie Radio” I was struck [...]

Fifty-one miles and change today on a ramble in the rain.

A friend I met on the Bicycling Magazine Forums, ‘Tude, asked if I wanted to do the Henpeck Hop ride today. That’s the same 50 mile ride I did back on the 5th. The Weather Channel was calling for temps in low 70s, [...]

My boss phoned me this afternoon to offer me the clerk’s postion. I accepted.

Starting after Labor Day I’ll be working all day Fridays and all day Saturdays behind the Circulation Desk. I’m going to miss pushing my cart around shelving and straightening. On the other hand, I’ll get to talk with more [...]

The week thus far has been eaten by locusts. After not sleeping at all Sunday night, I’ve been walking around zombie-like since. Nights have been short and naps have been long while my body tries to sort itself back out.

Monday’s commute

I’m told, this sounds like something out of a cartoon. And frankly, [...]

I have an hour before going to work. Not enough time for any of the projects I have. So a little ramble.

New Link

I upgraded my membership at Bike Journal. One of the options of premier membership is that I can make my ride log public. You’ll find the new link in [...]

It’s amazing how the seemingly minor changes we made to my bike on Wednesday (and the new saddle I bought last week) have transformed it so completely.

When I ride in the upright position the bike was designed for, everything is just perfect. The bike seems to disappear completely from beneath me. Even the [...]

Actually, I stole the title. It’s the name of the gay bicycling club in NYC. But it works here.

I just got back from my fit session at Full Moon Vista Bike & Sport. I like doing business there because I like the staff and the owner. But I don’t like going to [...]

Heading out to Pittsford this afternoon, I didn’t think I’d make it to the group ride, let alone through the group ride. My legs were sore and tired. Some of it was from doing 50 miles yesterday, some was from doing those 50 miles with the saddle not adjusted properly. It needs [...]

Fifty and 44/100 miles with a lunch stop in the middle. Had to do a couple of laps around the block to break 50, and they were definately cool-down laps.

This, on a new saddle which isn’t broken-in or positioned quite right, yet is still far more comfortable than the stock one.

And on a broken [...]
