Oh yeah. Oh yeah. 3 weeks in a row. Boom. I’m on a roll. Or, I’m just doing what I’m supposed to. That’s probably it. For the one or two people that enjoy hearing about my brushes with death while hiking the wilds of Southern Oregon, I apologize. No hike last week. Just good […]

Who Wants To Climb?
Whaddya know? Two weeks in a row! I told y’all last week I was re-committing myself to reporting on my adventures more faithfully. I may not always have much to say, but I’m not afraid to say a lot about nothing! Lucky for you guys, I had another somewhat adventurous week. And, even if you […]
I Still Ride My Bike
Yeah, yeah. I skipped another week of writing last week. I’ve already been scolded by a couple people so I’m going to redouble my efforts to be more dedicated. It’s not that I didn’t ride. I just found myself with very little time to sit down and contemplate the two-wheeled goodness I had experienced. […]
Four For The 4th
After giving my highly questionable storytelling skills a break last week, I’m back. You guys didn’t really think you could get rid of me THAT easy, did you? Too many good rides took place over the 4th of July weekend to not share the happiness! While I really don’t work all that hard […]
Freedom Of Choice
I’m not going to bore you guys with all the regular stuff like, “Hey, I rode 17 miles on Tuesday” (I did). Or, “It was really dumping rain during the race Thursday and I was sliding all over so I bailed because I could” (It was, and yeah, I did). Instead, I’m gonna get right […]
Breaking The Obenchain
After last week’s big mileage, I was looking to keep it going and maybe, accidentally, get back on track for reaching my goal for miles this year. Yeah. That didn’t happen. But, what did happen was something that it seems I haven’t done in quite a while. An adventure. First though, I put […]
Better Late Than Never
Another week, another batch of excuses for being late with the recap. I’ll save you all the whining. Most of the last couple days have simply been spent recovering from Sunday’s race. I’ll get to that soon enough. But, first I need to try and remember if I did anything exciting last week. I […]
8 Days A Week
Whew! Clearly, nicer weather and staying close to home over a holiday weekend means I get to ride more. The biggest problem with that is I barely have enough time to get a blog entry done. Since it’s already Tuesday afternoon while I’m writing this and I have a week + to talk about, I’m […]
Going Off The Rails Of The Swasey Train
Things started off pretty good last week. Choosing a road ride over a mtb race at nearly the last minute on Tuesday, I found myself in a group of 9 riders when I had thought there would only be 4 of us! Awesome! While I had planned on just Jacob, Destry, Jeff, and I, it was […]
Group It Up
Shnikes! Every Sunday, in preparation for my bloggage, I look back through all the photos I’ve taken from the previous week. It wasn’t until I was in the middle of the process this week that I realized all four rides I had done were group rides. Having spent most of 2015 training for, or participating […]
Just Another Day
STXC!!! Huh? What’s that? For those that don’t know, it stands for Short Track Cross Country and for the first time in several years, we have a local series again. The STXC series put on 3 or 4 years ago was my first attempt at racing a bike. I had just started riding and my […]
Wildcat Fever
I think I may have figured something out last week. Call it an epiphany. I dunno. Maybe call it what it is instead. Check it out. I’ve finally decided to listen to ALL the people that have said the same thing to me over the last few years: “you ride too much. you need to […]
