Indian Summer eRoubaix

Nov 4, 2026

As luck would have it, I found myself stuck at home all day on Wednesday, even though the high reached a gorgeous 75 degrees. We were having our chimney repaired, which meant I had to stay put to keep the dog at bay with workers constantly coming in and out. The moment they finished, I grabbed all my lights—knowing that with Daylight Saving Time officially over, this was going to be a true night ride—and jumped on the Wabash around 4:30 PM for my weekly e-bike escape.

PHP a la nuit

 

Yesterday, a mountain bike ride hosted by Rutland City Bikes popped up in my Strava feed for 5:30 PM at Pine Hill Park. I RSVP'd, but what I found funny was that when I swung by the shop earlier in the day to pick up my back wheel for the CAADx, I asked JT about the ride and he was completely clueless. His exact words were, "I don't social media anymore."

RC Ilumenati's Wings & Rings Ride SOMP

 Apr 21, 2025

We had a powerhouse crew assemble for this week’s Wings and Rings ride out of Fairfield. The roster included Scotty D, Abrehammer, Tadej, John K, Mat O, Johnny B, and yours truly, aka Snacks. Between a demanding workload and recent job stress, this was only my second time rolling out with the Ilumenati lately. As someone living the single life, I’m always eager to jump on any opportunity to eat out, grab some beers, and enjoy great company—it beats dining solo any day.
