  • 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

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 […]

Almost time!

9th June 2006

It’s almost time! Kristine and I woke up early this morning, drove over the
mountain, picked up some Starbucks, and headed to Brookwood Medical Center.
We’re there now, and Kristine has an IV in and has her labor buddies (me and
the cow) here to help! Check back today for updates as we have wireless
internet here in the room.

Here are some pictures from outside our hospital room. Brookwood is built right
onto the side of Shades Mountain,
so here is a view of Samford. Also, here is a
picture of a mamosa tree.

Lastly, we were able to enjoy a nice romantic sunset last night. Enjoy the
pictures!
