Pictures of your latest ride - Page 428

This past weekend my wife and I took a short vacation to Providence, Rhode Island. I had the pleasure of briefly riding around the historic district going past the Roger Williams National Park (appropriately, since it is in Rhode Island, the nation's smallest national park) and then up to Benefit Street originally settled by Roger Williams and his crew (for the benefit of all). The picture below is The Beast in front of the Stephen Hopkins house built in 1743 (though not apparently in its original location). The Rhode Island School of Design is on Benefit St and Brown University is a bit up the hill from it.

My Muni skills aren't great but I often like to do what I call urban Muni on my 2.5 mile commute. I roughen and tech it up as much as I can w/ many UPDs for just under a hour each way. Up/down curbs and driveways, zig zag through cracks and such, skinnies (curbs, painted lines and cracks) etc.

I'm headed that way this fall and looking for asphalt (not taking my MUni) bike paths between Westerly, RI (1 night stay) and Hartford CT (2 nights). So far I see 6.8 miles at William C. O'Neill and 40+ miles in the Airline State Park. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

From this saturday, July 28th, 2012. I rode in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure ride in Hillsboro Oregon. Over 1,200 bikers, and me. I helped organize the event. I rode 56 miles, had a great time, and hung out with some wonderful people. Here I am at the finish line.

For those of you not familiar with the Welsh weather - the only sunshine we normally get in Wales is liquid sunshine!

My family took a trip into Wales in 2004 (we were staying in Cheltenham). We went one day to an old priory and had lunch at a picnic table. Soon after a torrential rainstorm started. As we were pulling out another family had settled around the picnic table and were having their lunch in the downpour. We were amused and impressed by their tenacity.

As to where it was, I believe it was around the Wye and there is an RAF base nearby and at one point several fighter jets did a low practice fly over and scared us half to death. It was the loudest thing I'd ever heard. A new born foal literally fell over from fright.

I'm having some trouble retrieving photos from last night. . . Thankfully it's insured, but it will still be an expensive ride once I pay the deductible.

Do not attempt this at home - only on trails. No unicyclists were (seriously) harmed.

My old Droid Ares looked just like that; like it took a bullet to protect me! I was riding along at a nice clip in high gear on a rough 4x4 road when next thing I knew I was flying through the air with the greatest of ease. Went into a dive roll and I emerged unharmed. Unfortunately my phone took the brunt of the fall in my pack. But the damage was cosmetic only and still worked quite fine for almost another year before I finally replaced it (once my contract was up).

Mine won't turn on, and heated up to the point where I was seriously concerned about it catching on fire. This one's toast.
