The Week’s Ride

We,, I remember my first 100+ mile week (it was last year over the 4th of July).  I don’t remember how much I rode, but I remember it was over 100 miles in a week.

This week will also be memorable…it was my first 200+ mile week.  Here is the breakdown:

Memorial Day Ride:  63 miles
6 trips to work (@ 9 miles per trip):  54 miles
Office to parents:  11 miles
Extra ride Friday evening:  40 miles
Saturday ride :  77 miles

Total =  245 miles

Today’s Bike Ride

Wallace picked the route today.  It took up from Richmond up into Kind William Co.  The ride was good; however, I wouldn’t recommend it beause there were dogs.  Not just 1 or 2….7.  Wallace and I were chased by 7 dogs today!

Anyway, te map below doesn’t have our 5 or 7 mile detour on it (we got lost).  Definantly the longest ride of the year for me.

Hillbilly: The Real Story Rescheduled

 In this post , I mention an article that was in the Charleston Gazette talking about a new show that was supposed to air on the History Channel last night.  Well, I turn on the TV and Ice Road Truckers is on.  I’m bummed because I think I’ve missed it.  I didn’t find any mention of it on the History Channel website so I decide to send them some feedback–not really expecting an answer.  Well, today, I receive this reply:

Dear Mr. Maxson,

Longest Ride of the Year so far

This ride was rough.  It started off good, but ended up very very hot.  I was thinking we could stop in Coatsville….if you ride this way, there is NOTHING in Coatesville.  Don’t plan on anything until you get back to Ashland.

Missionary Video

Found this on YouTube last night.  I don’t know anything about what these guys believed, but consider their devotion:
