Afternoon Downhill in the rain

 August 19, 2024


Ann & I headed up to Killington to take a few downhill laps. It was a lot cooler in the mountains compared to Rutland so it was an easy decision to make for a summer afternoon activity.

Boy and the Boot

After D2R2, I drove up to Rutland to see Ann and didn't ride on the Sunday after because I was still sore from Saturday. I took Monday off from work and went for a morning ride south of Rutland .

Tha, tha, that's all folks

Kind of ironic that I would find an image of Porky Pig on the day of my son's graduation from The Rochester Institute of Technology. Earlier that morning, before the ceremonies, I headed out on a ride to sample some of the Rail Trails around Henrietta, NY from the Air BnB I was staying at.

Surly Cross Check make over

August 11, 2024 


After about a month of tinkering I finished my rebuild of my second Surly Cross Check.  I went from 9 to 10 speeds and a 36t rear cassette with a Shimano Tiagra drive train and a Wolftooth Road Link.

Missing Link

Ann & I rode down the Northern Rail Trail in New Hampshire to Danbury, NH.  A few years ago, I had ridden to Danbury from Concord but turned around due to the weather. Today's ride closes the loop on this rail trail.
