Headlines From Dave's Good Stuff
- Hell Week, Day One: No Edge 07-01-2008
- I hit my long ride home last night. Not the standard long ride, but the hellishly hilly (at least for Kansas) long ride. It’s the last map there on my routes page, and is also up on mapmyride.com. Unfortunately, in the chaos that yet remains my Monday morning routine, […]
- Prep Week for the TBP 06-30-2008
- After a long weekend involving lots and lots of fun with the rest of my team in Omaha, NE, and some far less fun work unclogging and replacing the downstairs toilet, I’m back and ready to really kick it up a notch this week. Over on my commute routes page, I’ve […]
- Another for the Annals of Commuter Racing 06-26-2008
- It’s been well documented that whenever two or more commuters meet on the road, it is necessary that they race. It’s unspoken, and rarely even acknowledged, but accepted without question. I hear that runners have the same rules. This morning was supposed to be […]
- A Race for Honor 06-25-2008
- This morning, our hero finds himself racing against manicured lawns everywhere. Turning east on 91st, he notices what appears to be a street cleaner in the distance. He up shifts and increases his tempo just a bit to try and catch up. Unfortunately, stop signs and passing […]
- Deep Pockets Dig Deep 06-25-2008
- In a stunning upset last night, Deep Pockets, formerly in 6th place out of 10, defeats the 1st place team 8-Ball Junk-eez 3 and a half rounds to 1 and a half rounds. When asked how she felt about the outcome, one team member replied simply “Hell YEAH!!!” It […]
- Switching Bikes Due to Weather, Pinched Nerves and Freeweights 06-24-2008
- I woke up a little late this morning. I drove in yesterday to drop the car off and bring clothes in for the week, and since driving in affords me a little more sleep, I gave it to myself. Unfortunately, I forgot to reclaim it this morning, and so I slept late. Not that […]
- More Logistical Bike Commute Changes and a Busy Week 06-23-2008
- I don’t think I’m a fan of making extra trips to work in order to carry clothes back and forth, thus enabling me to ride an otherwise non-commute-ready bike. This week I’m going to try driving in on Monday, and driving home on Thursday. Why Thursday, I […]
- More Garage Peddling 06-22-2008
- This weekend marks the second weekend in a row we’ve held a garage sale. I’m going to count it as a nearly complete success. Most of the large items we wanted to peddle away have been, and those that remain will very likely go on Craig’s List or eBay […]
- A Ride in the Dark 06-22-2008
- Friday night I participated in my first June Moon ride. It was fantastic. I met Noah (who has some great, as always, pics from the ride up on his site) and Chris at their apartment complex, from where we made our way down to the Wendy’s parking lot at K10 and Woodland. […]
- June Moon Madness 06-20-2008
- Tonight I join the ranks of the June Full Moon Madness riders. We’re meeting up at Wendy’s on K10 at 21:00, where we’ll start our meandering out to DeSoto and back. All in all, from my house, it’ll total a bit over 51 miles, and should go until […]
