What have you been riding lately?

[Bike from the Dead]

Took my OCC Stingray XL out for a short ride around the cul-de-sac after doing some house-cleaning today. We're supposed to be getting more showers and thunderstorms starting tomorrow, so I wanted to get at least 1 ride in this week before then.

And yes, I'm still sitting on socks and mop heads, and I'm still riding with no brakes.

Another Protest Ride on the Cobblestone Rat...

Today I tried a new flagpole (fishing rod) to bring the flag as high up as possible and thought I had made a good job with it, but then there was this other guy who had also a "small" flag. But see for yourself...

I doubted it at first, but as the flag was able to pivot, the bike rode pretty stable.

Here's a little video a friend made:

You my friend are a Hero as well in my book

Thank you, that's very humbling! My Dad used to brag about me being a highly decorated war herogiggle:)& actually turned down being put in for one of the highest medals available for being one of maybe 100 Air Force personnel on the ground in Iraq during Desert Storm for "Base Denial" operations as part of our Explosive Demolition/Quarry Operation team. We blew up one of their air bases by hand so it could not be used. It was a lot of fun! I am no hero. Just a guy trying to do what's right while paying my dues for the freedoms we enjoy & protect those unable. We were just doing what we were trained and paid to do. At a very high level. Thanks for being a good friend!

I had a chance to take my Redline to Berthoud Bike Park for the first time for testing yesterday! It took a while to find the sweet spot here & need to step up my skills to get the most benefit from this bike. I look forward to more sessions here to really get a good feel for how it handles & keep it under control. It's begging me to do stuff I need to get more comfortable doing.

Then in the evening I rode my Felt Bandit for the first Bike Night of the 20th season with over 200 others! The theme was "Back in Black".

Forgot to take a pic of the bike during the ride so here's a blurry one going past the bank.....

Today BO17 bike got a run to the shops. I forgot just how nice this bike is to ride. Steel is real

About 30 miles loop including a dead end trail (new construction).
late 1980s Diamond Back Axis. Classic early vintage mountain bike. But too short of a frame and a way too long top tube and stem. First and last ride before it goes on the block. I might have doubled it's lifetime miles today.

Just came back from a beautiful night ride through Berlin. Tonight was again the last Friday of the month, so time for critical mass. I rode the CobblestoneRat for about 30 km give or take in the crowd and another 28 to get there and back. We were probably around 1500-2000 riders...

Waiting for green to enter the Grosser Stern to ride a few circles...

This is how it looks when a few hundred cyclists circle the victory column...

It was fun!

32 km pavement lap around the city on Duck Norris

Swamps and wilderness to the west, farmlands and golf course to the north, industry to the east, and the big river to the south. The usual traffic jams:

The last group had babies. That's trouble

Maiden shakedown ride on FOOLIGAN. Fun solid 2 hour ride
