1st Saturday Slower Ride Group
|
| |
There are a lot of strong riders with LSR that have worked their way
to being able to go out and conquer all sorts of distance in great
times. There are some of us that are just getting started or just
like to cruise at a slower pace. Next year on the first Saturday of
the month I'm going to try and be available for a slower ride group.... more »

The Happy-Go-Lucky Randonneur - John P.
|
| |
LSR,
The more I think about this the more I need to congratulate my long time FWBA riding buddy John Pogue on completing his first 300K and officially coming over to the Dark Side.
Even though the weather was crappy, John was in the highest of spirits for the entire ride. He showed up without a rain jacket and tights and I loaned him some extras from my rando bag (don't leave home without it - even if home is 5 miles away). We even wrapped our socks in plastic bags to stay warm in the cold wet mist. I told him that it would get cold that night and being tired you will feel even colder, so pack extra. I made it my personal mission to make sure he completes this ride.... more »

Yesterday had a very close call on the tandem. A car pulled out in
front of us. I slammed on the brakes but didn't have room enough to
stop without t-boning the car. Made a quick right turn and somehow
avoided hitting the car. "Pucker factor" was a 12 on a scale of
1-10. Car left without stopping. Maybe it was the obscenities I was... more »

City of Manor Ban on Bicycles
|
| |
We all as cyclists make decisions as to what is safe and what is not safe. If I decide to ride the service road of the Dallas North Tollway at 2am then it is only resonable for me to expect that I am greatly increasing the odds that I will get hit by a car. If I participate in a club ride that has a section of bad road, but chose to ride because I like the route, then I have taken that responsibilty upon myself.... more »

He did it, he said he would and HE DID IT!!!!! Pat left Louisiana a mere mortal AND HE RETURNS A K-HOUND!!!!
Yep, yesterday's 300k cinched the deal for the Mardi-Gras King. He could have eeeeasily stayed home and knocked out a couple of perms, but instead he drove the 9hrs to Fort Worth, America and started the rainy, drizzly, icky LSR 300k yesterday AND HE'S STILL SMILING! :)... more »
