A “Little” Sunday Ride and Run
I had a great ride today with Andy (the bike) and Ansley (the friend). Andy’s maiden voyage was pretty good. I had a small mechanical about Mile 7 – my right tri bar twisted outward, which would have been a pretty uncomfortable remaining 55 miles. Right when I realized I had an issue, I also […]
Me, Andy and 62 (!) Miles?

Don’t Forget the Lube
