Not a bad Friday

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.

And this exquisite monster is a Felt IA time trial bike. If you guys want to chip in and buy me a new bike this one lists at $4999.99.

Baseball! And a cell phone shot. You can actually see the baseball.

Not bad at all.

More little circles

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.

Bontragers

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.

More markers

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.

Founders' Oak

This tree is important. Why is this tree important? You will find out here.

Desegregation at Auburn

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.

Philosophical fumble thumbs

Riding uphill, one of the hills that always hurts. And I decided I would whip out my phone to take a picture of something. I just missed it, but I got this one instead, which is probably better.

You don’t often get the warning up ahead. And sometimes the lane ends, improbably, two-thirds of the way up the hill.

The best day to ride hills is the worst day to ride hills. The worst day to ride hills is the best day to ride hills.

Sometimes I think we’re just here for the cat

I rode 30 miles on my bike today. Just enjoying a few big loops around the neighborhood, really.

I should have carried the cat along with me. She sometimes has extra water …

Also, she did this the other night:

She likes cheese flavors.
