hot summer days

damned hot day on the road, but a good day.

climbing reward!

and then, a challenge to my longstanding assumption that if a north jersey road is on the map, it has to be at least kind of passable on road tires

home made bridges on home made trails...

so much for those road tires...

this is when the fame pump shines, as i got slaughtered by mosquitoes.

hello moto

and on the boring front: new insoles for my aching feet.

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!
