Posted on July 25, 2015 by ehurst

Today’s journey wasn’t remarkable in terms of touring the countryside. With only one minor variation, it was the new Harrah Loop counterclockwise. The single variation was, after passing the SDA Academy and retirement village on NE 63rd, I turned north … Continue reading →

Cabin Fever Tuesday

Posted on July 21, 2015 by ehurst

Two things came to mind as I mounted my bicycle for today’s ride. One is the miraculous protection of God. Okies can be ornery, but most tend to be friendly. Whether I’ve encountered many of jerks on my rides is … Continue reading →

Photolog 11: New Harrah Loop

Posted on July 14, 2015 by ehurst

I’ve decided to permanently change the Harrah Loop I use. This is part of my effort to make my typical rides longer than 30 miles (48km) by default. In theory, the Harrah Loop now starts near my home at SE … Continue reading →

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 →

Photolog 9: Extended Harrah Loop

Posted on July 2, 2015 by ehurst

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 →

Photo Log 6: Almost Thunderbird

Posted on June 13, 2015 by ehurst

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 →

Posted on June 12, 2015 by ehurst

I don’t pretend to be a photographer or graphics artist; I’m just a guy telling stories and adding a few pictures. I’m hardly a master of GIMP or any other kind of image editing software. I don’t have the interest … Continue reading →

Posted on June 11, 2015 by ehurst

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 →

Posted on June 4, 2015 by ehurst

Today’s journey takes us to Harrah (pronounced hair’-uh), but also the spot in Choctaw where the river has already eaten a house and is now threatening a major thoroughfare. The original story of the house, with pictures, is here from … Continue reading →
