    What are you doing for New Year?

    Tonight, and tomorrow, what's your plans? I'll be in bed before the clock strikes 12 LOL. I've not stayed up that late for years. Leading a hike tomorrow for Day 1! How about you all?

    Last Ride of 2024

    Distance: 40.6 miles Elevation Gain: 758' Avg. Speed: 10.7 MPH Location: Vienna to Stonefort and back (Tunnel Hill State Trail) It was cool start, but it warmed up nicely just not enough to start peeling my thermal layers off aside from a wind breaker.

    Cycling Christmas?

    What did you get for cycling Christmas? I got a new thermal cycling jacket. It's a cheaper one from Baleaf but it's warm and fits me just the way I wanted it to so I'm happy :) How about you all?

    Is Expensive Cycling Apparel Really Worth It, or Is It Just Hype?

    I recently got these bib tights: https://theblackbibs.com/products/the-black-tights-ultimate And this jersey: https://theblackbibs.com/collections/mens-tops/products/winter-jersey-gray I've ridden on Tunnel Hill Trail (in the shade, so it was cold the whole time) during the low 40s, and they...

    Should E-Bikes Be Allowed on Southern Illinois Trails? Why or Why Not?

    I think it's important to keep them affordable, though. I just think there needs to be rules in place. And maybe trails need to threaten to restrict eBikes if rules can't be followed. Some people think you can use an eMountain Bike on Shawnee MTB trails. The truth is they are prohibited from...

    Dog Defense

    I try to squirt the dogs in the face with water as well or stop and talk to them. I'm not sure if I would have been nice to the owner if I saw him beating on his dog, even if the thing just bit me.

    Should E-Bikes Be Allowed on Southern Illinois Trails? Why or Why Not?

    I've had a few eBikers play chicken with me on Tunnel Hill Trail. They look at me with the "why didn't you move out of the way" face. I mean I was going on one side, and they wanted to stay beside the one they were riding with. I won the chicken race this time LOL
