Posted on April 21, 2016 by ehurst

I still hate mudding, but I wanted to do this before it got hot. Biting creatures will own the area very soon. Here’s an aerial view of today’s ride with numbers to indicate the location for each shot I took … Continue reading →

Cycling: Deep Fork and North Coltrane

Posted on April 20, 2016 by ehurst

Overcast and cool most of my ride today. I started with the Katy Trail and headed north. After several days of heavy spring rains, and before the mowers get around to it, this is the Katy Trail looking northward approaching … Continue reading →

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 →

Cycling: River One

Posted on April 14, 2016 by ehurst

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: Baptism

Posted on April 13, 2016 by ehurst

Actually I hate “mudding” but I am glad it’s do-able. Today’s ride seems to call for a map. Click the map to enlarge (CTRL-click for a new browser tab) and please note the lavender digits representing each shot that follows … 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 →

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 →

Cycling: Even Farther North

Posted on April 2, 2016 by ehurst

(As always, click any image to see at a larger size.) Technically I was in Edmond today, but in Greater OKC it maps as NE 164th. This is very much into the Deep Fork watershed because I spent an awful … Continue reading →

Cycling: Short Loop

Posted on March 31, 2016 by ehurst

Today the ride wasn’t remarkable, just up the Katy Trail to NE 63rd, over to Midwest Boulevard and back home. It was more about taking pictures, but I was rather disappointed as about half my shots were just not worth … Continue reading →
