Rides, Ideas, Solutions and Funnies


Ari's Cockpit. 2W Blaze, Cateye Microwireless, Dinotte light and Mountain Feedbag. No, my knees do not hit the bag. It is completely out of the way.

Mountain Feedbag.com.

Winter Trees trying to come back to life



The GWT is snow and Ice Free. It is firm. Come out of your Cocoon and ride it.



Dam by Campton Hills Lake

Long Horn Steer. Corner of Burlington and Silver Glen



Buddhist Temple in Hampshire, IL.


The mirror aids in Mutant riding. Ride on the busy road and when cars are a coming you ditch dive out of the way. No cars coming you get to ride Straight Shot style.

Hellmuts's dream home in Belvedere




Monuments for the one's that fought for our freedom. Yeah, thank a vet sometime!



Strange swinging bridge in Belvedere



What the hell time is it??




I am so confused. Hellmut was an hour late to the ride.






Got up really early on Sunday and started the ride at 4 am old time and 5 am new time. By 7 am we were mutating around Belvedere and to be honest there wasn't much going on. We made it to the Bucks and had some much needed heavy coffee. We had worked up a good effort staying into the headwind for almost 3 hours. We cheated all the way back home with a tailwind. Good ride, getting used to riding early, early. Got in about 5.5 hours on the crossbikes. Today got in about 5 hours. Rode up and around Burlington. Did some shoulder work, rode the GWT for about 15 miles, hit the rollers hard. Came home tired. Had Vegetarian Sloppy Joes and some wine. Mountain Feed bag is a welcome addition to my bike. Hey, Made in 'Merica. So is my Dinotte Light. Very happy with it. Also came up with a new term. We welcome the absentee voter. This is the typical guy that tells you what bike to ride, for how long and on what type of surface. He has the innate ability to never show up on any rides that include hardship and suffering. He is the guy that will come in the middle of the winter to "weigh" his bike since he is hard at work on the WWW.Infernet.com looking for deals on closeout carbon parts made in Paraguay, so when the weather gets better he can come to the rides and spank you. Absentee voter we will be waiting for you.

I hope everyone is enjoying the lack of snow and ice as much as I am. I also welcome daylight savings. There is hope.

best,

Ari
