It's all part of the Experience

  • Noon Road Loop

    Noon Road Loop

    I had hopes of doing something with a little intensity today, like the Reese Hill Loop.  I also had hopes for one of these Sundays to be a warm sunny Sunday where I could take my Schwinn Racer on a nostalgia ride along some easy peasy path.  Instead, it was another cold Sunday where it…

  • Inclusion not Division
