Cycling: Wilshire Saddle Test

Posted on April 16, 2016 by ehurst

The map shows where all but one of the images were taken. It was stiff southerly winds, overcast with scudding clouds and occasional breaks of sunlight. Warm enough but the storms are headed this way. I really didn’t need a … Continue reading →

Cycling: Draper Road Test

Posted on April 15, 2016 by ehurst

It came in the mail yesterday, several days early, and I was so glad to see it. On many newer type bicycles, the steering changed. You can’t just raise the “goose-neck” like you could with old bikes. I had to … Continue reading →

I loves me some river chasing. (If you CTRL-click on the map, it should open in a new browser tab and you can refer back and forth to orient the images.) I’m still learning, but today was the first full … Continue reading →

Cycling: New Toy

Posted on April 12, 2016 by ehurst

Arrived today via UPS around 1300 local time. This is probably boring to a lot of folks, but it’s just possible a reader might benefit from my experience some day. The box was just a bit smaller than I expected, … Continue reading →

Cycling: Route 66

Posted on April 10, 2016 by ehurst

I’m really quite happy that the threatened heavy El Niño rains have not materialized in flooding rains. Instead, it has worked with other factors to bring an extended period of cooler temperatures that hit Oklahoma with daytime highs between 50° … Continue reading →

Tracks and Transparency

Posted on April 8, 2016 by ehurst

You have my permission to bail out any time. You can cut and run with a rant or silently. The only thing holding you to this virtual parish is your own heart and mind. If following Christ means you stop … Continue reading →

Not Green

Posted on April 8, 2016 by ehurst

My favorite color is orange. While I’m like most humans with an aesthetic preference for blue (it has to do with the mechanics of vision in our eyes), I would rather wear orange. That’s because when I’m on my bike, … Continue reading →

Gratuitous Cycling Post

Posted on April 7, 2016 by ehurst

I’ve had two long rides since my last cycling post. First, I went out to Draper, but wandered a bit on the way. I decided to run past the north end of Tinker AFB. I noted previously that the US … Continue reading →
