A quick selfie before a ride around town …
We went out riding with one of her graduate students. I suppose he’s a former grad student now, having graduated and all that. He’s from Florida and he was not prepared for anything where his bike, which he’s dusting off and riding again after a good long while, pointed up. And we don’t have real hills here. But we had fun! And that’s the purpose of the bike. One of the points. I’m presently using it for at least three of its modern purposes.
It is blurry, but that’s what happens when you’re being passed while going uphill:
Chased her around this afternoon, finally gave in and enjoyed the countryside:
This is what happens when you sit up and stop chasing:
From this afternoon’s 34-mile ride in Columbus, Georgia. That’s Alabama on the left shore, by the way.
And that marks 80 miles for the week so far.
This guy knows how to pick a motorcycle helmet.
At James Brothers, our local bike shop. This beautiful machine is a Felt AR3. List price is $3499.

Baseball! And a cell phone shot. You can actually see the baseball.
Not bad at all.
As of today, these #Bontrager shoes and #Look cleats have pedaled through 550 miles (885 km) of gear shifts and curves and climbs. Most of the time they feel good. Sometimes they hurt. Some of the time they make my feet feel as if they are going in perfect circles. And in those moments it seems I might figure all of this out.
I don’t have any of this figured out.
Here is a video I shot and edited the other day, and didn’t show you.
Great weather to be outdoors. You have to take advantage of it when it happens.
The county’s historic markers are still out there. I’m still out there, pedaling around to see them and take pictures, just because they are there and I can do it. There are just six or seven more, after today’s pair.
This tree is important. Why is this tree important? You will find out here.
There are two buildings here. This one is where the historic event happen. The second is the building named after one of the players in this part of the story. Click here to find out all about it.
