Country Riding

There is an arrowed bike route that is a good mix of suburban and rural riding. I don’t do the whole route and track my mileage with my Garmin Tour GPS unit. I had been riding for around 45 minutes when I looked at the display and it read 2 miles. I had forgotten to press start so the device only recorded my MPH. Those lost miles were the bane of this ride. Every once in a while during the ride, those miles haunted me.

I decide that when I get home, I’ll use my car to record the miles that I lost and upload them to Strava where I’m recording my stats. Then I thought that the average speed would be out of whack for me. Then I thought that I would just drive slow. Right, that would go over with the drivers behind me on this endeavor. Then I though, who cares. So I didn’t go. I did however, shoot some video between the hauntings.

A Simple Day

1-dscn1944

The storm passed, the sun began making it’s way through the clouds and the sky began to turn blue. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and it was time for a bike ride. The road bike got a tune up from Scottee’s Bike Shop in Westport. It was my second visit and I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of workmanship, the friendliness of the wrenches and the reasonable prices.

Most of the regular road bike riders were done for the day. There was one unusual group that I ran into yesterday and today they passed me just at the right time. A couple more roadies on this route but basically it was me,some horses and a fruit stand.

There Is No One To Play With

Everyone is back to school or working on weekdays. It’s just me and my camera riding here and there.No one around for biking or tennis during the day. Continue reading “There Is No One To Play With” →

Summer Riding on the South Coast of MA.

Stormy weather will keep all of us off our bikes for a few days. It gives me a chance to work on my editing education.

Racing The Storm

We will be feeling the effects of Hurricane Hermine for ta bit here on Cape Cod. The forecast is for high winds and rain for the next two days. Nick and I took advantage of this sunny Labor Day Sunday to do a 40 mile ride. We thought of going further, to the Cape Cod canal, but we both agreed to turn back at the 20 mile mark.

Today felt very melancholy and the ride matched the feeling. We took our time, averaging 12 MPH over the 40 miles, stopping every so often to take in the atmosphere and capture the moments.
