  • Riding from Birmingham to the Chief Ladiga Trail

    This is mostly just a place to document some of the options. But I would like to also state that people who don’t ride 20,000 miles on a bicycle every year don’t have a good perspective on the hierarchy of dangers in cycling. For example, riding a two-lane county road with a speed limit of […]

  • A tale of weather, Sir Arthur Eddington, counties, and Pike’s Peak

    TLDR Adventure 1 – Thanksgiving – I attempted a 550 mile out/back-ish (tight loop) from Birmingham to Panama City Beach and back to record my own GPS data for Washington and Bay counties in Florida. The ride was going to be split into 265 miles there and 285 miles back for back-to-back Eddington 256 rides. […]

  • Paris-Brest-Paris 2023

    TLDR – It was tough I had imagined this as being a slightly faster, slightly longer version of my normal multi-day adventures around the South. What I hadn’t counted on was how exhilarating it would actually be to do the ride and how I would overextend myself early in all the excitement. They had great […]

  • The Road to Paris

    I had intended to document my training and everything leading up to my Paris Brest Paris (PBP) adventure a bit more, but life has gotten so busy. I’m going to use this post as a “reverse order” summary of the journey leading up to PBP. TLDR Paris Brest Paris is only held once every four […]

  • 2023 Skyway Epic

    Another year, another skyway. This is the life. This was my 11th year racing the skyway. It would be one of the few races I’ve ever had the opportunity to do every single edition … except for getting hit by a car and spending the week of the race in the hospital in 2014. This […]

The family of Speed

23rd March 2009

From last weekend’s bike race in Guntersville. Both kids rode and rode and rode while we cheered Brian on to his 2nd place finish.

My little speed princess!

Josiah likes to say "speed!" when he's riding. He's so funny to watch!

So concentrated!

Look at that serious face!

One of my all-time favorite photos...

Brian attacking the break ahead of the field early in the race.

Wonder where Josiah gets his concentrated look from?

Brian leading the break as it's been trimmed down to just three.

The rest of the field, a couple minutes behind Brian's lead breakaway.

Brian's teammate, Sammy, winning the field sprint for 3rd place.

   I should add that we normally make the kids wear their helmets, but I forgot to pack them when loading up the car for the race!
