Over the tracks, around a waterfall, and through the woods to eat unhealthy food

So, today I decided to put my new Strava app to the test.  The total ride was only about 25 miles.  Before turning around I found a hole in the wall burger joint where I made new friends and ate what they claimed were the " Best Burgers in Wichita".  I have to say, they were purdy darn tasty.  







Resting after my meal

Stopping to Gawk at Wichita Waterwalk

The evening was fair with not a breeze to rustle my hair.  We rode from the south fast and arrived downtown at last.  We stopped for burgers and beer then headed out without fear. (No brakes might scare some people)... 

Last stop was to gawk at the fountain at Wichita Waterwalk.

Good friends... Good fun... Good ride

Before there was mountain bikes.. There were Klunkers. 

Here are some of the Klunkers I have built.

Charlie Kelly sent me a T-Shirt

Ok... So, I really had to buy it off EBay. 

I am a big fan of T-Shirts as much as I am a fan of Klunking and the early years of mountain biking.

Long story short... Charlie Kelly is one of the pioneers of mountain biking and this is a shirt with a print of one of the first posters for the Repack races.

I am gonna wear the crap outa this thing.





Thank you Charlie Kelly

Called into work at 3am ... On my way boss

Here is what you will need for an early morning run to the office:


Donuts, coffee and filters in tool can, lights, lock, orange juice in water bottle, cash and identification, coffee cup, and a big knife because you never know who or what will come at you.


30 min and 7 miles later and I'm here.  

Well, it is time to get the coffee going.
