Well, I wrote to "Dear Abby." Where I live, I've never seen nor heard of a cyclist getting ticketed. But I've hardly seen or heard of any drivers getting ticketed in a long time around here,...

Yet another article stirring up the "anti-cyclists"

Feel free to write to her. I sure will!

For multi-use paths to work, people have to share and be respectful of others. Unfortunately, that's asking an awful lot of some people.

I use our trails regularly. Ours are labeled with signs...

Well, this is where I wanted to ride. It's my favorite bike path - it goes down the hill and follows along what's usually beside the river, and goes under the bridge and continues on --

Looks like a fun day trip! There's so much to explore out there - all the history in the towns, the trail history, nature, scenery - A friend from work rode part of the Katy several months ago. ...

Darn, I just missed them! If I could have gotten off work a little early I could have driven a few miles to the route and waved a "Ride Strong" (or something) sign for them.

They're still...

Interesting - It's always surprising to see how much things add up some places. I saw an article a week or so ago about towns that have been hit twice by EF-5 tornadoes and the town of Sedgwick, KS,...

Our neighborhood is like that, too. The houses are 50-60 years old, and each yard on our block had a pair of honey locust trees in the front yard. A lot of them have been cut down and/or replaced,...

Goessel - I'm pretty sure I've been through there before, but I don't remember for sure. I'm familiar with the area. We were just in Hesston weekend before last to play golf - that's only a few...

Yes, Kansas City is hilly! Seems like Olathe is a little flatter than farther into the metro area - ? If you want to get to the flat areas, west isn't the direction to go. You'd have to go pretty...

Our local Humane Society just had its annual fundraiser yesterday, and one of the many booths was for the Pug Rescue group. They had an adorable little Pug and were selling "Pug Kisses" for 50 cents...

Poor guy - the next picture would be PSD (poor squirrel decision). :D:D

Congratulations to both of you - and to the rest of the riders and the crew! Can't wait to hear all about it - after you celebrate, rest and recover, of course!

I was just reading an article, and now I've lost the link, but it was by Danny Chew, who'd done solo RAAM several times. He said that Enduro required that at certain checkpoints, the riders must...

I wouldn't rule out entirely the prospect of riding in fog, as long as it isn't too dense. If visibility as at least a tenth of a mile, it'll work. But my commute can be done almost entirely on...

Seems like I read somewhere that the Enduro didn't go over so well because the riders felt if they were rested, it was more of a stage race than an ultra marathon. Crazy, isn't it?

Keep kickin' butt out there Kacie - you're awsome!

It's amazing, the idea of being on an eight-person team and riding 24-hours a day, that long, that far, and in all those conditions and on all that terrain. It's hard to believe. But the people who...

I get such a kick out of reading the riders' blogs. I think everyone expects Kansas to be an easy state - all nice and flat. The RAAM route goes through mostly flat terrain, but there are still...

My cap has a plastic zipper on the back with a push-button piece that slides across the teeth.

I ended up buying a brimmed outdoor hat yesterday. Definitely not for running, but I've been wanting...

I have a cap which I bought several years ago that I LOVE. Seems like I bought it from either TE or Athleta but neither carries it anymore - ? The tag says Illuminite, and I found it on their...

Awesome! RAAM goes through our neck of the woods, too. We're not too far from the Maize checkpoint so we'll try to get up there so we can make some noise when you come through.

Have a safe...

Here's the full list:

Yes - I golf! DH and I play most every weekend. Started 3 or 4 years ago. And I suck, too. But walking the course is some decent exercise - and the surroundings are pretty - and there's just...

The problem around here is we have some great bike paths but they don't quite connect. There is a 10-mile long path that follows the river northwest to southeast and the only time it intersects with...
