Is it spring yet? With the exception of the morning ice, January 13th sure seemed like the first day of spring. As such, it seemed also like a nice chance to ride a long mixed loop that I’ve been thinking of trying out. It also felt like a spring ride from how pooped I was near the end of the…Continue Reading

Another Tire
A few months ago I wrote about Another Way to do my regular gravel/trail/pavement loop.

Exercise is the main…Continue Reading

The normal loop has you crossing Slater Rd. at Ferndale Rd, and I just don’t like going anywhere near Slater on a bike, especially when cross traffic doesn’t stop, is moving…Continue Reading
