We had our weekly Pennypack Park ride tonight. Sixteen people turned up. In all we had several new faces and lots of regulars all converging on the best single track inside Philadelphia city boundaries. I arrived about 5:45 after picking up my bike from Guy’s. It had a new cluster and was finely tuned for […]

This weekend has been much better than last weekend. Friday night I went for Mexican food in Chalfont. Saturday morning I met up with Tom from Reading and we rode Salisbury up near Bethleham, PA, which is about an hour north of my place. I was late leaving, and Tom called me to make sure

I’ve cleared out everything from U of O. Everything is now at my parents place, including the main sponsor’s signs. If we are fortunate, perhaps we can use them again next year. After unloading all the gear from the car (5 boxes), I had part of a beer on the patio to cool down. Eventually

This morning I met the tourists at the residence lobby. While there I returned the internet access device that U of O had loaned me. At first, they could not find my ID that I’d left as security. They called me 30 minutes later to say they’d found it. We walked over to the canal
