Sorry Ladies

After a whole lot of advertising the Tuesday Night Ladies Ride, I ended up bowing out last night and sent George out to lead the ride. I’m in the midst of another rash attack on my hands.

hello exhaustion

what day is it?

PMBAR 2010

Pisgah has been on my list of places that I want to ride for a long time. But with the shop and the job, we’ve never worked out the timing to go down there and do it. So when Emily asked if I had any interest in being her teammate for PMBAR, it seemed like [...]

Still on the road

PMBAR report to come soon.
