My second week of the Three Speed October 2016 challenge

Hello fine folks! I just wrapped up another week of riding my Raleigh Superbe to qualify for my very own Three Speed October 2016 challenge! How did this week look? Wednesday 19 October: 23.8 miles total, as my Coffeeneuring Ride 3. Thursday 20 October: 11.9 miles total, work commute. Friday 21 October: 15.9 miles total,...

My first week of the Three Speed October 2016 challenge

Hey all! Just finished up my first week of the very challenge I created. It wouldn't be fair if I didn't participate, right? 😉 And for those of you who are all like "But Shawn, didn't this thing start last week?" Well, if you read the rules as carefully as I wrote them (oh, snap!)...

A Wednesday ramble, and the Gentlemen’s Country Bike (14 Sept 2016)

Astute followers of my photostreams (whether flickr, tumblr, or Instagram) may have noticed I've spent a decent amount of time on my lovely Raleigh Superbe the past month or two, a bike I still haven't formally introduced here. (Soon!) The big reason is while I have owned the bike since last September and it's been...

Coffeeneuring 2015, Ride 3: Appropriately, a three speed teaneurring ride. (And with April, too!)

Ah, here we are, the third ride in on the 2015 Coffeeneuring Challenge. Half-way, almost. A hump-day ride for the hump of the challenge.

Second time around, or preppin’ for Pepin

It's a philosophical question to Ponder: If you did an event once, and it was fun, should you do it again? To most people the answer is obviously yes, but once you've done the event once, the magic that you get from The First Time is gone. And after that, are you trying to chase...

A three speed ramble up to Children’s Arboretum, Ricky Point, and St. Johns: 4 March 2015

EDITOR'S NOTE: I've been behind in blogging, so, while this adventure happened before the Leif Erikson ride, I'm getting around to posting it afterward. So sorry. Another week, another adventure. Part of my challenge for my adventures this year is to go to places I have not been to, or places that I haven't been...

Heading out to Pepin…

Hello friends. My life has been spent inside a blender the past few days. Work has been hectic, and I am getting to leave town today (that be Wednesday May 14th.) Yep, I'll be heading out on Amtrak's Empire Builder to Minneapolis-St Paul. The big reason is to partake in the annual Lake Pepin Three...
