5 hrs in the saddle

once again, set off to do a century, but called it early. 60 miles down. beautiful central NJ.


nice quiet roads

taking a "nature break"

back to base

really loving the new zipp  wheels. they arent the lightest wheels i own by a stretch, but once they spin up, they want to keep going. sweet.

good ride, but no pedaling today

good times on the road.

2-hr spin

just a nice blast, on a nice day.

started out with a century in mind; garmin loaded with route, pockets full of stuff, but just wasnt feeling the big miles today, so a sweet, short ride made up for it.

baby needs a new pair of shoes

perfect weather for a spin

the regular 30 mile loop. perfection tonight.

hot one today

6 hours in the heat. good day.

iced coffee stop!

life would be better; if we biked together.

The CT experiment - (cheap tandem) - weeeeeeee

geek; in the house.

good ride in today, finally. fantastic, simply fantastic.

build details

• geekhouse frame - custom
• enve fork
• microshift shifters
• paul brakes - with moon units
• ultegra crankset
• blackburn Ti cages
• h+son wheels - handbuilt
• saddle - custom cover by recoveredsaddle.com

bike performs perfectly, everything i expected and more. microshift gear is adequate, though lever throw is comically long. long term results TBD. 

overall, very happy. 

just rolling along...

geekhouse

it's in.

sneak peak:

catching up

started out later than planned. after breakfast with the family, headed off to a pre-determined route. it never fails to amaze me all the roads so close to home that i've never been on before.


was a beautiful day, ideal weather really:

you cant NOT take a picture with a tank, right?

some gravel roads thrown in, for fun:

through some abandoned complex. lots of old, deserted, forgotten buildings. anyone know what this place is?? i dont...

and into the high-rent district. some strictly beautiful homes:

and roads for another day, and another bike...

construction, which should be a new summer boating spot:

sunny friday afternoon

cut out of work early and logged some miles up to Bear MT. Good times.


ready for action:

Top of Bear:

who wears a wool jersey in this heat??

elevation profile:

new bike!

speed machine:

and the stuntman himself:

spring sunny days

nice relaxing ride to eagle rock this afternoon. trying to find my legs.

good day for a ride.

nice relaxing day on the bike. sun peeked out for a while, little rain, little wind, quiet roads.
