Rides

I really enjoy riding my bike, and I’ve been doing it for a few years. These are all the posts that have something to do with riding my bike. Hope you enjoy reading about my little adventures!

Ride | 54 miles around town

I planned and then I rode. And it was pretty much exactly what I was expecting.   The first 10 (or so) miles were ridiculous. Crazy roads and crazier drivers. I always had a little bit of room but the cars were zipping by until I got to the other side of the Southwest Freeway. […]

Slow down… and enjoy the ride!

For the second time, I rode as a ride marshall for the Cystic Fibrosis Cycle For Life. ย Taken right from their website: ย “This unique event empowers participants to take action and demonstrate their fight in finding a cure for cystic fibrosis in a tangible, emotional and powerful way.” ย I remember riding this route for the

Ride #14 up Wykoff! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?

Today was a short ride, but it was a tough one! ย Toby is getting very comfortable in the Toby-Trailer, of course–who wouldn’t love being hauled around in a chariot? ย Yesterday, we went up Pleasant’s Valley Rd, which is a pretty busy road and I wanted to see how T would react — he was fine.

Training for a fun weekend!

Today was the first time I rode with Toby on a pretty scary road.  Pleasant’s Valley Road is no joke.  Cars come zipping down and there is practically no shoulder for most of the way.  So, today was a big day as I took Toby down the leg that we’ll be riding on our big
