Riding down the road…

The Map

…didn’t always mean riding in a car. Lisa knows that I love maps and she came across this one earlier today. It’s a circa 1901 map of California Roads for Cyclers.  It was obviously paid for through advertising by various bike shops, suppliers and builders, plus at least one hotel in San Jose. Can you [...]

Cool Cycling is Back!

Poker

How do you know cycling is cool again? It’s the posters of course. This weekend the Scott-Tucker-Scott Spring Classic will be rolling out of Scott, Arkansas on an undisclosed route that will pass through Tucker, Arkansas at some point and eventually get back to Scott. It’s old school riding, some of the route is paved, [...]

Run Fast, Pedal Hard, Run Again Doin’ the Du

He thought the invitation said "Formal"

In preparation for participating in a duathlon, most people train by following a strict training regimen like the one prescribed by Beginner Triathlete. For some athletes running and cycling are already a big part of their normal workout sessions so for an event like the Riverside Classic Sprint Duathlon, it’s just another tough morning workout. [...]

Olympic Feats

Try to get past the logo...just try.

I grew up in a family that watched the Olympics religiously every four years. I even remember one year watching the Summer Olympics on a black and white television set in the driveway getting a signal from an antenna while I painted the garage door. Yes, I’m that old folks and yes, television was available [...]

The Cycling Advocacy Hub

Bicycle Advocacy of Central Arkansas

One of my favorite sayings is “It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness,” and while I hardly believe that all is dark within the cycling community in central Arkansas, I do believe we have some areas that could use a little light. That’s why I got involved with Bicycle Advocacy of Central [...]

How to Watch the Tour de France

Le Tour de France

This is not our normal post. We are normally advocating getting outside in Arkansas. We still are. We know it’s hot and you may be tempted to stay in and may find yourself in front of the television. We just have an idea on a good way to spend that time. Enjoy. This is the layman’s guide [...]

Rocktown Trackdown

Runners and cyclists working together, it's a beautiful world.

Results! Sundays are the perfect days to sleep in and enjoy the paper with a cup of coffee, maybe a few cups of coffee. We could  even catch up on all the shows we DVRd during the week that we haven’t had time to watch. Right? Of course not! We’ve been covering a lot of [...]

Revisiting an Old Friend

The welcoming site of trail.

Entrance to Yucca to Center to Port-A-Potty to Outer Loop to Airport Loop to 10 Bridges and out. I know, it makes no sense unless you ride mountain bikes at Camp Robinson. The trails at Camp Robinson in North Little Rock have had their share of hardships. Being on an active military base has both [...]

Into the Dark, Dark Woods

It's a scary place but like one of Scooby-Dos friends, I was up for the challenge.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day starting out with temperatures in the 60′s. At lunch time I found an excuse to run home and grab my bike and some gear for an after work ride. I thought it would be great fun to try out the bike cam with a couple of powerful bike lights [...]
