Probably not as much as I should but I do try to squeeze in a few every now and then.

Factor has a new gravel bike out and it looks awesome all of the components are customizable as I understand it if you order it. Bike world in Paducah is now a reseller for Factor. It gets into some coin pretty quick also.

I guess I should have quantified that statement with “for me” The little folks may have a different reason. 😂

One of our CRCC members hosted a 63 mile group ride to celebrate her 63rd birthday this week. A couple of the other attendees had birthdays this week so we celebrated them all. I just tagged along to pull the line into the win and support my fellow riders.

It’s a fat boy thing, the bibs don’t roll down like shorts 🤷‍♂️

Started in Cape and went to Horseshoe Lake was fun. From Cape to Trail of Tears was fun. From Vienna to Karnak was fun. The joy I think lies in the adventure not necessarily the destination. Ready to get back out there for some more adventures.

I keep getting a notification saying my file is to large? But it let me copy the bike from the picture. Glen Dixon. SOIL

I want to try a motor cycle helmet next year, has anyone else tried this?

HAHA at my size they are all like skin suits. I just avoid mirrors.

My first helmet Was a Giant, and I glued screen in all of the front holes to prevent bugs and bees from flying in it and it did not stop the air. My son decided that helmet looked better on him than me so he commandeered it. I then bought a Specialized Evolv. Instead of meshing it out in the...

Speed, speed, and speed. is that a skill? I am still a rookie at all things biking, so pretty much everything for me. With climbing at the top of the list.
