Due to schedule challenges from work, winter weather, physical therapy, and probably some other stuff, it’s been about a month since I’ve been able to get out for a bike trials group ride. The tendon injury in my arm is still far from healed, though it’s definitely improving – enough Read more…
We had some rain this week and there’s still some snow on the ground. It even rained Tuesday morning, but it cleared up, resulting in gorgeous afternoon. When I left work, it was sunny and mild, with barely a cloud in sight. By the time I arrived at the UCONN Read more…
My arm still has a ways to go before my tendon injury is healed enough to really ride my bike, so I haven’t really been able to ride since Thanksgiving week. I’ve been going to physical therapy twice a week since the end of December, but I still have to Read more…
My Inspired Arcade street trials bike has the Arcade Riser handlebars and uses brakes from Hope Technology. The silky black bars carry the Inspired logo, while the brake assembly mounted to the bars sports the Hope logo. While I had not really paid much attention to this previously, it caught Read more…

It’s the middle of winter, so the number of people that show up for the weekly group rides is lower than normal. We started with only two, but a couple more guys showed up making it a pretty decent turnout for a mid-January ride. A snowstorm last week dropped 6-10 Read more…
It’s the holiday season, so this week’s group ride was fairly meager, both in terms of turnout and the riding. As Jim said, “it’s definitely December riding.” Ryan said the video title should have been, “you didn’t miss anything.” Nonetheless, it’s always good to hang out with the group. Though Read more…
My arm is still royally hosed, so I can’t ride. Physical therapy starts next week. In the meantime, I’ll be posting the group ride edits. This week’s ride was at a location I’d never see: Parker Memorial Park in Branford, CT – right on the coast. This place has a Read more…
