I met John Adamson on my way to Black Hawk Park....
Hartman North gravel....Today's post is number 250!
I took a vacation day today and rode my Surly. The temps were in the mid 70s and the skies were mostly blue. The wind was out of the north at about 15-20, so it was tolerable on the trails through the parks.
I stopped at the convenience store on Center Street in North Cedar and grabbed some Bug Juice and a brownie. I'd had my heart set on an Oatmeal Cream Pie but they were out.... :( I ate my brownie and drank part of my juice then headed west on Lone Tree Road to Black Hawk Park. I ran into John Adamson shortly after that and he turned around and rode through the park and back into town with me. His pace on his geared Specialized mtb was a bit faster than I'd been riding on my singlespeed so it made me work just a bit harder, which was good. When we got back into CF he stopped for coffee at Cup o' Joe's and then to chat with Chris Congdon.... I headed through the grass behind the utilities and then over to Pfeiffer Springs Park before heading down the South Riverside Trail until I was able to get onto the gravel through Hartman North. Thanks for the company and conversation, John! It was good riding with you!
All in all a pretty good day and a pretty good ride. Now I need to mow the lawn before it rains again and then take a shower....
Ride safe.
Peace out, yo!

Blue - you are a master of the self photo. I must learn your technique.
Nice. Bug Juice. You are making my kids jealous.
Yeah, what Capt. Bob said!
Good to see you still chuggin' on C57!!! Must've been the Bug Juice!

Vacation days good!
Riding Single Speed good!
Having bug juice sitting on top of your Terry Fly saddle with the "buzz off" logo, classic!

peace out, yo!
Ahhh, the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie- that and Mountain Dew was my energy choice for years!
Sounds like a great vacation day, I could use one of those.
On a side note I was thinking of you on the commute in this morning, there was a headwind of maybe 5-10 mph and it was driving me crazy- I don't know how you deal with those big winds you always have!
have a good one.

To deal with the wind ride behind Jackal.
yeah ed, jackal is good to draft behind. he rides a straight line, he's predictable, and he punches a pretty good hole in the wind.
peace out, yo!
Blue, the TWAF crew is curious about what you run for a gear on the Surly SS.
I hope all is going well.
later,
