Whew… What A Climb!
I thought The Cycling Challenge would get a chuckle from this. Let’s call it… Col de Bonsal:

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 are [...]
Another View From My Egg-cellent Ride…

An Egg-cellent Ride…

My Name Is… Earl?
Meet Earl and Joy! Why didn’t I pedal much this weekend? Obviously… because my work boots wouldn’t fit into the pedals. I was busy with Halloween fun. My wife, Janice… I mean “Joy” and I went to a big costume party at our friends’ house. And guess what? I came home with a Trophy… (yes, I know you’re [...]

Cheat Mountain and “The Lost Boys” Adventure…
What an adventure! It was my first year for the Cheat Mountain Challenge in Snowshoe, West Virginia. It was also my first meeting with Sprocketboy (Leslie) of Travels With A Tin Donkey. That’s him in the solo
