Photolog 10: More on Draper

Posted on July 11, 2015 by ehurst

Today’s ride was the typical Draper Loop. It’s nothing special, but during the summer, it means facing the headwinds on the outbound leg, and getting a tailwind boost on the way back when I’m tired. I rode out on Hiwasee … Continue reading →

Today we explore. This is essentially the Harrah Loop but we add a couple miles north and see where that takes us. (Reminder: it’s pronounced “hair’-uh”.) This should provide an adequate test of my work on the Diamondback Edgewood bike. … Continue reading →

Today is a rather long trek over two different official bike trails. But it’s about ten miles just getting to the starting line of the first one. If this works out, I’ll ride straight west on SE 29th to the … Continue reading →

Photo Log 7: Midwest City

Posted on June 16, 2015 by ehurst
