Egg-topia…
In my last post, you saw my first attempt at the: “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge.” I look at it as an unsuccesful attempt rather than a failed attempt because the eggs I was supposed to pick up and get home uncracked were sold out. As you may remember, Tom, my challenger and cycling [...]
Shell Shocked!
A few posts back, I mentioned “Fresh Organic Eggs” being sold on one of the routes I ride often. Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED! It just so happens that a new cycling blogger buddy in England, “Easy Tom” rides past a farm that offers up [...]
Whew… What A Climb!
I thought The Cycling Challenge would get a chuckle from this. Let’s call it… Col de Bonsal: For a little history from my part of the world… the RR tracks you see are part of the old New Hope Valley Railway. P.S. — The update on the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge” will [...]
Preparing for the “Across The Pond, Chicken vs. Duck Egg, Cyclosportive Challenge”
You may have read my posts at the beginning of the week about the “Fresh Organic Eggs” Stand I pass on one of my routes. Well, I had mentioned it would be a good challenge for me to sometime try to make it home with a dozen… UNCRACKED! ENTER: The worldwide web, another cycling enthusiast and the fact that there [...]
Chasing Our Shadows…
It’s hard not to keep talking about the great weather we’ve had here in Central North Carolina. Then, I read your blogs and hear about the cold and snow already falling. Trust me, I feel very fortunate. With good sun and the temperatures in the upper 50′s on Tuesday… we were good to go with a base layer and arm [...]
Another View From My Egg-cellent Ride…
In my last post, I showed you a sign I pass on one of my routes. It reads… ‘Fresh Organic Eggs.’ A friend was asking me where were the eggs? What do you mean in a house/hut? Well, I realized you can see it (the little house) in this other picture I took. It’s the county line… I’m [...]
An Egg-cellent Ride…
I know… with all that cheese… I should make an omelette. I just couldn’t resist. It was a beautiful weekend here in Central North Carolina. I got out for rides on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Both days were sunny and the temp in the 60′s. I pedal past this sign frequently on one of my favorite routes. [...]
What’s In Your Cycling DVD Library?
As cyclists, we’ve seen a lot of them but how many do we own? I’m talking about cycling movies. In my last post, I was talking about ‘Breaking Away’ and its great soundtrack. Most of you have seen it but a couple have not. A few months back, I watched ’The Flying Scotsman’ with some cycling buddies… it [...]
Breaking Away In Detail…
I’m sure most of you have seen the great cycling movie “Breaking Away” … Here’s the trailer: So, a couple of days ago, I was searching for the soundtrack and after clicking a couple of links on Google… I found an 8 year old blog post that detailed all things “Breaking Away.” I not only found some of the music [...]
