Deep Ellum Outdoor Market & Farmers Market
Yesterday I rode to two different outdoor markets: The Deep Ellum Outdoor Market, which showcases local artisans’ goods (and where I ran into Colin of Switching Gears Cyclery), and the Farmer’s Market, where I went to sample and choose some tasty produce. Choosing to go by bike to these markets was great, because I got to notice lots of little details along the way, like an apartment building decorated with roosting crows (You know, “Put a bird on it”)! Cycling to these destinations also forced me to be extra selective of the fruits and vegetables I chose to purchase, since I had to carry them home with me on my bike.
Rolling around Knox and Lakewood
A day off means a riding day for me. I rolled around Knox-Henderson , lower Greenville and my neighborhood, Lakewood. Snapped a few photos, hope you enjoy the view from my saddle today : )
Ride of Silence re-cap
Another great ride, with a real good purpose. We’re so used to riding fast, or like me quasi-fast, and chatting up a storm with our cycling buddies about current events that it’s refreshing to ride with others at a slower pace and to have the time to reflect on other cyclists that have passed on. As the ride came to a close we rode into a parking lot with the sounds of a bag pipe playing. This for me was the perfect final touch. It was awesome to hang out with some of our friends from Bicycle Friendly Knox-Henderson and Bicycle Friendly Deep Ellum .
Bike to Work PSA from Memphis
wonderfully made ..
50 minutes at White Rock Lake
Armed with a camera and an idea to trail walk, which I was sadly informed later was actually “Hiking”, I ended up taking pictures of folks just riding around White Rock Lake. Some people riding looking a bit intense as they rode, I guess thats what happens when your jamming to Justin Bieber on the iPod; but most looked like they were having fun. The real question is,” Why the hell wasn’t I riding!?”
Friends at Switching Gears Cyclery
I rode to Switching Gears yesterday, to see Andee and Colin’s bike shop. The shop is in front of Fair Park at Exposition and Parry. I got to try out the All-City Nature Boy, and man could it haul and hop curves like nothing; and those drop outs are so freaking awesome. I ended up picking up a Pace Cycling Cap that feels amazing on my noggin, and did I mention, it’s made in the USA! If you’re in the area you should swing by and say hello.
Backstage of The Night Shift
Our friends at We Are 1976 let us use their parking spot in the back to use our alley cat; still cant believe Channel 5 came out to cover it.
The Spoke Card: Mikey did an amazing job with it, and the reflectors….. the only thing I can say is that its a beautiful addition!
The First Manifest: We tried to give it that time card look.
The Second Manifest: We made a second manifest so that everyone could kinda finish together, but only the first four folks were able to do this because they were just too fast.
AND THE WINNER IS: This is what we used to track times and positions in the race. BRANDON killed it by finishing the race in One Hour and Seven Minutes. Micah, Fernando, and Dallas were just behind him!
*THANKS AGAIN for racing and too everyone that came out!!
