On a spur-of-the-moment two and a half day camping tour of Litchfield, Berkshire, Columbia, and Dutchess and Putnam Counties. With any luck I'll be home tonight!

One lane bridge south of Madison, WI. 7am and the heat and humidity were creeping up already.

Thanks! We spent a week exploring South Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park in British Columbia. There was a LOT of hike-a-bike, but it was worth it.

@jtbadge and I rode a wet and windy century yesterday in and around the Mississippi and Missouri river confluence. Two bridges, two ferries, and about 110 miles. I didn't get any glamour shots of the nesting eagles near Grafton, IL unfortunately, but a good time was had by all.

Apologies to jtbadge's instagram for a couple of stolen pics.

Mountain bike ride with a neighbor. 300m from the parking lot, I low-sided, and caught my toes in the dirt as I was going down, turning my ankle 90d to the way it's supposed to go. Broken fibula. Out 4-6 weeks. If anyone needs a D2R2 entry, let me know.

W T F!

Sorry to hear that, Christian pal. I was looking forward to our re-union at D2 man...rest and heal fast.

We were threatened by rain in the forecast this morning and our normal group ride got cancelled. My buddy and I were dead bent on getting our ride in no matter what so we pulled another pal and did about 40 miles. We have to go through one section of gravel road and I told my buddy that we might want to take a detour and go around because I don't want to take any risk of going down and hurt myself especially with upcoming D2R2 next week. In the end, when we got to that intersection where the gravel section is supposed to start, apparently they had already put chip seal over it finally, took them like several months to get to it. And the rain held off till we completed our ride which was nice.

A ride in the San Gabriel Valley Foothills

This road leads to the World Famous Rose Bowl. This ain't no Meadowlands


One mile from the World Famous Rose Bowl. Hay, Mr. Trump, this 15m project employs about 35 undocumented workers.


Across from above, not a GT3


I think Dr. Evil lives in this villa


Obligatory, creepy Viper torso shot


Nothing is sacred. And, according to Peter Saville (and Tony Wilson), that would be the point

I recognize that shop at the top of south 14 outside of Albuquerque. I've bought many a coke and snickers bar there!

A short ride in the lovely foothill community of Claremont, California.

A new type of shopping mall, The Packing House:


Inside the Packing House, strangest location for a bike shop:




This is SoCal, after all


Remember when there were Idealists in the government (for better or worse) aka Mid-Century Modern Socialist-Informed Goodness aka Let the Poor Take Care of Themselves aka Gregory Ain Would Be Proud






All pics taken aboard this bika:
