Welp, I made it to Phoenix. This place keeps changing, but it still means a lot to me. I almost forgot how bad the drivers here are, but sure enough I had a black Toyota remind me. It turns out that by using the bike lane instead of the actual lane, I put myself in a [...]
Sioux Falls, SD
I arrived in Sioux Falls Thursday after staying in Pipestone the night before. It was a decent 50 mile ride which made for a pretty intense ride. I ended up leaving Pipestone around 11:30am and tried making it around 6pm, but ended up being a bit late. I have a place to stay here thanks [...]
Just a note on bike tourers
I have a new respect for people who do full out bike tours. They often take roads that aren’t paved and pull 60lbs of weight up hills. People who tour often have some serious willpower. I also finally am realizing why so many cyclists who do tours use mountain bikes. Having a high bottom bracket [...]
Granite Falls
I am now in Granite Falls, MN. AT&T has no signal here, and it is just small enough of a town where there are no coffee shops with wi-fi access. They do have a public library though, which is where I am now. They limit the internet to four hours a day though, which is [...]
First Day to Phoenix
Some awesome photos, but I really am dragging from all of my gear. I will upload the photos tomorrow,, because the coffee shop I am at is closing in 20 minutes. I got some neat ones of a storm approaching and some good ones of the trail and the “trail” that was not for bikes. [...]
Crap Day
Ex showed up unannounced to get her stuff and she didn’t even pick up her plant that she has guilt tripped me into watering for the past month. Went for a ride, got a flat, broke a tire lever, broke my pump (at 50psi no less). To top it off the work server turned off [...]
Friday Night Photos
Critical Mass was last night, and since I am trying to be a little bit more of an asshole I figured I should ride. The group broke off a couple times: once for a house show, once for fear of the highway. It was sad to lose so many people, but it ended well. We [...]
Changes
I haven’t updated in a while, but I should be keeping track of my life more. Meghan (now ex) cheated on me June 13th. The date is easy to recall, because it happened the night we got back from seeing The Mountain Goats in Iowa. I found out a week or so later, was pretty [...]
Sunday Bicycle Ride
The project is in a running state so I decided to take a ride. I basically got lost coming out of Fort Snelling area, but thanks to some helpful people got back on the right track. I got in a few good photos while riding around too which was nice. I also picked up some [...]
This is better
Finally, a nice clean layout. I will probably start updating again on the 18th (Next Sunday) after my project finally released. I will still have work to do on it, statistics and user management stuff, but it will be running which is what is needed. This entry is just to get me motivated for this [...]
