Breaking news said a bridge in wilderness park and I kept refreshing for an update. It was one of the big bridges known as the EP because Eric of monkey wrench helped build it. The big one on the south and basically the end of the mixed trail on the west side of 14th street. Sucks it was that one, but that was pretty much the end and turn around spot. I maybe crossed it 4 times. Sucks for people who start their ride from that south parking lot though.

Monkey Wrench is moving to 19th and Q street. The space looks awesome.

I should of been doing what Zobert there is doing, but instead I got up at 6AM and rode the 50 mile trail trek course. That is us 1/2 way done in Cortland below. Kit got in the zone big time back from Cortland and I did my best to draft him blocking the headwind. 20 miles of just hauling back to town. None of us won a bike, but we ate fruit, granola, BBQ sammiches, and all sorts of stuff they provided along the way. Pretty sure i will do it again next year.

Not that I am depressed or anything, just need some sweet sweet dirt under my tires.

Brian made a nice tall bike

Sunday around 5ish people meet at Recycled on 27th and South, for the rat bike ride.
You don’t have to have a rat bike.

Sat Aaron and I wanted to hit wilderness, but that rain put us on the fine paved trails around the city. Hit cycle works to check out their mega sale. Took the mopac to the 84th trailhead and decided to hit the trail to see how it was. Muddy. A couple who was jogging were headed back and were dirty from the trail. The guy said “it gets worse”. So we took the nice sidewalk path south on 84th. Saw some insurance complex that had a trail around it and it looked like fun. Rode a fast lap. Continued out towards the Old Cheney walmart and turned back. That was when the trail ends and you see the above pic. Turned around and the wind kicked our butts. Good 25 miles though.

Sunday we all met up at the Teachers fountain across from the sunken gardens and headed to Rocket Fizz and back tracked to Pepe’s in Havelock. Was a fun ride but the wind kicked our butts again. Hit a lot of paved trails and rolled through the new Antelope creek paths. That section of town is going to be awesome.

Today was the first time I have ever gone on a ride with my brother Mike. He is an avid biker who rides an awesome road bike. He is the kind of guy who wakes up and does stuff before he goes to work, like a quick 20 mile ride. Freak He is a roadie and I am a singletrack kind of guy, but he is looking at a MTB and I really look forward to assisting his transition to dirt. We are so hitting Platte this year dude. Get ready to hurt while in your granny gear

So glad to be back out on the bike. My goal is 2000 miles this year. Only 1583 on the moots currently. Lots of opportunities to get out on rides. There are the Tuesday nacho rides out to Eagle, Eagle also has $1 pints and 1/2 price wings in Thursdays. Plus if we can keep up the weekend rides with the folks who went today and others that might join that would be awesome.

KW over at Good Problem has a great idea. Bummed about not being able to ride and hook up with the crew, so here is what we are going to do.

The first-ever WWASH get-together is next Monday — the winter solstice — December 21, and it’s nothing more (and nothing less) than a chance to say hi to friends, eat some eats, and drink some drinks.

But why?

Because it’s much easier to say hi to people when they’re here as opposed to when they’re not.

Come by for five minutes or five hours. Kids, adults, and all the rest are welcome.

Over the weekend a bike was stolen from a ladies house and the alerts spread. C_C_Rider saw it out in the wild and locked his bike to it to get it back. That is pretty awesome.
