As Alaskan, I believe, remarked ‘comes in any color black you want.’ Two lights in rear…construction-green headdress sun shield…hard to unsee me even after a few drinks…but I’m on empty country roads and near misses are deliberate

I've been off the bike for three weeks for medical reasons now easing. Sweetening the deal was an August morning of seventy degrees...21C. While recuperating I joined the REI co-op to utilize their eBike comprehensive tune. Not everyone has a Jacek. They took it apart and the only thing needing...

A gym my best friend trained at in the 70s…a ’proper’ facility, not like these carpeted, chrome palaces of today with spa-like attitudes…my friend, a National champ as a light-heavy tells a story of one of the lesser members, a pipe fitter, who installed a king-sized hot water heater entirely by...

Revenge is not a concept exclusive to humans. and as the aforementioned Edward Abbey (self-described redneck Thoreau) the most dangerous animal in the woods is always human…as the murders the other day in an Arkansas state park proves.

Kilham in his bear book describes ethics and even counting ability. His discoveries from an un credential researcher were so remarkable a group of Chinese researchers visited him to learn how to better interact with pandas. Black bears however are not old griz as Edward Abbey referred in an...

Among the Bears…Ben Kilham…amazing story including the author’s

People have destroyed the fishing like they have wolves, bears, and everything else they can can shoot or poison. My area is over run with deer who kill way more people, and cause more damage than all the wolves, cougars, bears etc put together In my country. I listen to the old farmers at the...

^ I recall riding my Giant hybrid 10 or so years ago. I was on a slight decline and rode by a young black Lab lounging on his porch. He ran over and then ran alongside of me in the grass. Friendly…playful…showing off. Every time I shifted higher and ran faster he shifted also…after proving his...

I recall collection jugs for IRA in Boston in 80s. A lot of munitions flowed through to the Emerald Isle. From a peace-loving country like mine…imagine that.

It’s the same here though in greener (and less green$) circumstances. I’ll be pedaling uphill on a lane and a half of chip seal and some gun past me into a curve. But the worst are the Sunday morning biddies late for church…they’re worse than the beered up Friday afternoon tradesmen who at least...

^ That ice cream!!!!

The road is my dead end one just as I was setting out for my version of a long ride (21m). As soon as I put my phone away a doe and fawn walked across. Here are a neighbor's cattle. When mine got out this is where they ran. My place is through the break in the distant tree line though by bike...

The weather looking good I went towards the river in search of tomatoes and baked goods. The farmer's market must have shut for the holiday (the 4th) but the vegetable stand five miles further was open. The man in yellow passed me earlier in a Peloton. An Alvis farm truck blew close by us...

I get a vibe from Clockwork Orange The weather today was decidedly better than yesterday's...temp mid-80s again...but humidity way down. I rode 7 miles further (18m) at a significantly lower HR average...and this includes a stint with a big diesel pickup shadowing me. Just a few more rides...

Don't let my crisp appearance fool you...high 80s high humidity. decent 11 mile circuit...
