Instead, I had something better planned. I’ve heard about and not participated for many years in the Tour de Donut. Its an annual event held during … Continue reading “State 47 – Illinois”

6/1/2021 I’m not sure what internal bias I have, but this is another state where we ended up riding next to the boarder of another state. By my count about 25% of rides ended up that way.

If you’re wondering what I’m sitting on, it isn’t any type of a grave. Its the … Continue reading “Waterfall for Easter – 4/4/2021”
Its been a full year of the COVID-19 pandemic for us. In March of last year was when I moved out of my work office and started working from home. Things are not too bad, but sometimes you just have to get out. Here is one such outing. And finally they “Released the Snyder Cut”. … Continue reading “March – 2021”
Danelle and I signed up for a race called the Bourbeuse Bluebell. Its a 18.2 mile race on the Bourbeuse river. We planned the trip with our friends, Melissa, Johnathan, and Bernie. The three of them had paddled this section of the river about 3 weeks earlier and Bernie flipped his boat. They wanted to … Continue reading “Bourbeuse River Training Run – 3/21/2021”
