R.I.P road bike

last pink church stop


I heard the noise, then looked back in the rearview mirror. Bouncing along I-20 was my road bike. I pulled over and got out of my car. Walking opposite the traffic, I got closer to my injured bike, lying in the right hand lane. An 18-wheeler delivered the final blow with a sound of carbon and metal that no bike lover wants to hear. I stood there for a moment. Knowing it was gone I picked up the machine from its point of fate. I thought about the countless hours and miles we had together. We bonded, not only through rain, snow, and heat but also some of the most beautiful weather one can imagine. We had a great last two days in Athens, enjoying some of the roads we first became acquainted on. Maybe it was fitting to have the last ride be Brockton Loop. Maybe it was fate that it happened on the way to Augusta, a place where we will spend little time together. Now, I pour out a sip of good ole IPA to you and remember our good times.

Enjoyed watching this documentary. Gives some good perspective in what some people have to go through in the small towns of this country.....

Point to Point

Ride of al lifetime from Bent Creek in Asheville through the trails of the Pisgah Forest. Ended up with around 45 miles, for total trip time of 10 hours. One river swim, one store stop. No mechanicals. No flats. No crashes.                                              

Which way do we go?
