Ride Yourself Into A Happy New Year!

Instead of imbibing too much bubbly and spending New Year's Day with a headache, why not take it easy on New Year's Eve and come out to Spoke-n-Sport's 24th Annual New Year's Day Ride? Layer up, grab the winter bike, have a refreshing ride and warm up with chili, DJ Steve Wade, OpenSprints and lots of friends. Cheers!

RECAP:

The ride was another great one... and the best ride of the year so far. There's a nice article in the Argus Leader along with some nice snapshots.

Cheers!

In The (Bike) Lane, Are Ya Listenin'?

I swapped my studded snow tires onto my hybrid bike today so I could attend FAB's annual Christmas version of the Starlight Ride. Eight hardy souls and a jolly old elf made it out. Winter Wonderland at Falls Park, Phillips Avenue, Reindeer Lane and Mr. Bendo were all on the route, topped off with cocoas and mochas at Michelle's. I officially have the Christmas Spirit now.

It's about that time of year to get the studded snow tires on! What better way of starting the new year than with the first ride of the year? I'm planning on it.

Bike Bells Ring, Are You Listenin'?

Sometimes life is so cartoonish that a funny drawing just can't tell the tale like a couple of snapshots can . It was so when I went bike riding with Santa Claus the other night. This was the first time I've ever been behind the scenes with the jolly old elf, and I was amazed at all the people, of all ages, who sent delightful greetings to Santa Claus. They called out from windows, from across the streets, and a few even pulled over in their cars. A number of folks took pictures, too. Thanks, Santa, for a great ride!

In The Frosty Air!

This is a work in progress; I'll post the finished work when it's all approved.

The lettering is based on a font called "Frostbitten Wanker", which has entertained me greatly. Simple minds!
