Riding in the time of Covid 19

View this post on Instagram

In anticipation of our planned Montana gravel ride along the divide that now may not happen, I bought set of 650B wheels and some really fat tires. I realized today that I wouldn’t be using my bike as a commuter in the foreseeable future so I took off the fenders and rack and popped the new wheels on. I sure enjoyed the beauty of Black Diamond Mines. I can see why this gravel thing is becoming a thing, even though I’m still a roadie in my heart.

Why I started this blog

I made a deal with myself in late 2006: Get under 160 pounds (from over 190) and ride existing bikes 2000 miles and I would treat myself to a new bike. This blog was to chart my journey.

I'm under 150 pounds now, and I made my mileage goal. Read this entry for more details then you need. See this for my new bike and even newer, way cool bike. and now, and even newer cool bike!
