Posted on August 18, 2015 by ehurst

Nothing remarkable except that for late August it was refreshingly cool and cloudy today. I rode out on Henney to SE 59th just for the fun of climbing one long hill west-bound where the road humps over I-40. I headed … Continue reading →

Cycling: Casino Loop

Posted on July 28, 2015 by ehurst

Today I pushed the envelope again. The planned route was 35 miles and took me out around the Firelake Grand Casino. I started from Henney, down to SE 44th, where I once again crossed that rare wooden bridge still standing. … Continue reading →

Riding for Justice

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 →

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 →
