Cycle Ti Thunder

I went for my longest ride in about 100 days.  It was really fun.  I rode on single track trails, bike paths, dirt roads and paved roads.  I did it all. Blue Springs Road Bike on a Dam, Flint River Blue Springs Road Lake Chewhaw behind dam Flint River fishing spot Flint River fishing spot

 I took a nice slow cycling trip along the Flint River trail this evening. Sometimes I just do not want to deal with traffic.

Lonnie's Cannondale Jekyll 700 Today I wanted to do a short ride on my mountain bike.  When I ride my Cannondale Jekyll around my neighborhood I have to be creative as there are no official off road trails near my house.  I resort to riding next to the paved roads on the gravel shoulders and up and down the drainage ditches in front of houses. I love to go down a hill and when I see a lawn with a big drainage ditch I do a shalom from the road down into the ditch and spin up the side and then quickly turn and loop down back into the ditch and up out of the pipe onto the pavement.  If home owners see me doing this on their watch I make it a point to do it so quickly that they do not have time to react.  I make an effort Drainage road not leave any tread marks on lawns, but most homeowners around here do not care about the drainage ditches, they just cut the grass in it.  this sort of riding is what I call Urban As...
