Not many pictures today; bummer. It should have been simple enough. I was going to ride west on SE 29th into Midwest City, around Tinker AFB and down to the bicycle entrance to Draper Lake. The whole trip would be … Continue reading

Photo Log 6: Almost Thunderbird

We’ll mark this up as “good training” again because I couldn’t get to the destination. This route is more about mental discipline than physical. It’s tough enough, but aside from a jog at the start and end, it’s one long … Continue reading

Photo Log 5: Brutal Loop

No pain, no gain. Today we cross over into Cleveland County to the south and visit the nastiest hills in my area. The baddest climbs are on Hiwasee Road south of where I reside, but we have to take a … Continue reading
