Sad donuts

I slid out of the group ride to head for home; couldn’t keep up and was feeling like a bother. So as to not spoil the fun for the rest of the group, I honorably bowed out and took my own little ride through White Clay Creek to get back…

Apple Cider Donut ride

I joined the White Clay Creek group on a donut ride this morning. Felt optimistic despite having practically zero time on the bike this year. 63 miles is not my furthest ride, and the speed seemed accessible. I definitely felt the challenge as we set off, and began willing myself…

The Forbidden Forest - Hagrid’s helpers!

I used AI, and lots of ingenuity and crafting, to turn White Clay Creek into an immersive experience for my kids. We set of into the woods, where Hagrid contacted us and told us that he needed our help to find a lost Demiguise. His trail through the woods had…

Joined a 25 mile ride in support of athletics accessibility by PCAS. Great group of people and really well organized. Road with Jamie from White Clay Creek, was great getting to know her.

Port Deposit loop

Wanted to go on some new roads, and enjoy some new scenery. This ride did not disappoint, but almost killed me. Lots of hills, some of which are beasts. I’ll surely feel it tomorrow. There’s nothing like absorbing some local history on the way either.

Newark, Fair Hill, Rock Church and Milburn loop

First “big” ride out for the year, and maybe not what I anticipated. I forgot how painful Fair Hill gravel is, and the Big Elk Creek access is arguably worse. And what ride would be complete without an idiot making a right turn on red trying to kill you, be…

New stem and new computer test

I bought a new stem recently, and beyond trialing in on the rollers, I haven’t been able to get out on a ride to give it a fair test. Observations, much better fit than the previous stem. Dropped from the stock Cervelo 90mm stem to an 80mm stem. My arms,…

White Banks Trail

Took a two mile hike on the White Banks Trail in Elk Creek State Park. The trail is well kept but parking isn’t ideal. There is a small on road pull off point we used, but it can only hold 4 cars max, so if it’s a popular spot for…

New stem day

Needed a new stem since I was too stretched out on the bike. Garrisons is a great shop, put a couple stems on to find a good length for me and made a couple small alterations to the hood position also. Took a short spin around a local walking path…

Was going to get on the rollers for 20-30 minutes and then thought, why not just go out. It’s wet, but warm enough. Casual ride, recovery from workout previous day.
