Last Tuesday



Another gravel grinder in the Thumb. I had a bit of a lot of trouble with wind noise in the audio and will either try to attach some sort of wind filter to the camera body, or just put an audio track over it in the future. Or maybe do both.

Experimental Video

I'm weary of posting the same old bike in a landscape photo so here are a few videos.




They're just snippets and eventually I'll to learn how to tweak the audio as I fiddle with the video software.

Indian Summer Gravel Ride




















Got out for one more gravel ride in the Thumb as temps hit the low 60's. The snow will fly soon and we probably won't see weather like this for another five months, so this post is a lil' something to help get me through the cold winter...

Corn Ride


















Three counties, five hours, much gravel, and only three cars.

Tour de Thumb


Took an out-and-back 65-mile ride in Michigan's "Thumb" region today.

A former resident once told me, "It's a place where the 30's lasted until the 60's, a great place and time to grow up. Now it's a bedroom village - the business district is a ghost town."

Ah, yes, I love those ghost towns most of all. They are like little time machines to me and I'm fascinated by the remnants of that bygone era.


I have a feeling there's more to discover...
