PBP 2011 pt 3
Although Kevin and I rode entirely through the first night together, I do not remember so much about it. I recall initiating our stop at St. Nicolas, a resting place set up by the organizers of the PBP, with an … Continue reading
Welcome to “Winter”
Someone from the Columbus area on my soon-to-be-discontinued facebook stream mentioned that he was going to do a “winter” ride this weekend. What’s the weather going to be like? Oh, just rain, winds and temps in the 40′s. That’s not … Continue reading

Ohio 400K 2010
With about 3 weeks until the PBP, I felt that I needed to get one more long, hard ride in. I could not have picked a better ride that the OH 400K this weekend. It had hills, some 16,000 feet … Continue reading
OH 300K Brevet II 2011
Since this ride promised to be extra steep-hilly, I brought the regular, derailleur-laden bike along. A goal was to get some form of high-intensity training in on what I was framing in my mind as a “short” long-distance ride, and … Continue reading
