9 Mile

Winnie at the end of her run
Broke the dog

I just took Winnie for a run down 9 mile single track. It is actually only about 8km but leads to 9 mile road. Winnie managed 6.47km before collapsing (I hung my Garmin off her collar). I put her in the ute and took her home for a dunk in the pool. She was a bit over-heated.

Poor Winnie, I think I’ll keep her runs below 3km from now on.

On another note, I want to build a slideshow thing for the site using just HTML and CSS.

Bicycles I have loved

During the early 90s I read a biographical account by a young man who journeyed around the world on his bicycle. Like all my favourite books I gave it away at some point and have regretted it ever since. I cannot remember the name of the …

Not Ep02 A Two Wheeled Ute

tagged with: bicycle listening

ERRATA:

I got the audio files mixed up. I actually reposted the the first episode. The second recording, as it turned out, was made in March last year. I recorded it on my Purism phone but the audio quality is terrible which is a shame because I remember having a …

A Short Ride to Nowhere

tagged with: bicycle broken hill

I went for a bicycle ride this morning. Our town is in lockdown accordingly we may exercise within a 5km radius of our homes. I did not know where to ride. Without a thought I headed north-west to the graveyard. On the way I pedalled along the street where all …

Ep01 A Two Wheeled Ute

tagged with: 🚲ute bicycle listening

I have recently begun a coffee lent, which means I start the day with a headache. It took a bit of effort to motivate myself to go for a bicycle ride yesterday. The extreme heat of summer has eased off which means I can go outside without getting crispy. Taking …

Precious time off work. Ev out for a ride with me

Working at SCU back in 2007-8 was a quiet gig. I had plenty of time to mull over things. I would cycle to work in the morning and have my day’s work mostly done by smoko. In the …

Porkellis Mines

After I learned to ride a bicycle my horizon expanded. I was soon pedalling all the way to the bus stop without stopping to touch the ground. Riding my bike was as close as I could get to flying. At school I had learned that the Mongolian horsemen lived in …

A bicycle ride back in 2006 with my boys

The brain-cinema has been showing bicycles for most of my life. In my former desk jockey days I would while away the ennui geeking out over bicycle ephemera such as Cycle Chic (Thank you Copenhagenize); Rohloff Hubs; the writings of Sheldon …

Ride Number #1

tagged with: bicycle

I used to occaisonally run along the grassy lane after school. I ran to create warmth against the winter sleet and rain. I ran to avoid the drudgery of walking. I was in a hurry to get home to be warm, to eat and to watch television. As soon as …

Bicycle Lights

tagged with: note_to_self bicycle

Every 6 months or so I find myself at the bicycle shop buying another set of blinking LED bicycle lights. The last pair having inevitably fallen apart; fallen off or ceased to work. It always costs 10 bucks more than I expect. They always have new and irritatingly imperfect ways …

Emrys and I are mending a puncture… Well we did that, and moved some flooring downstairs. He has his uses. I was just showing him how this blog worked.
