4 Rochester

A couple weeks ago I rented a car and drove up to Portsmouth, NH for the 8th annual New Hampshire Film Festival. My thesis film Glarg and Fritz was accepted and I was invited to come take part in the festivities. And of course I brought a bike and my camera. Portsmouth, as seen [...]

A few of a us guys who met on the ride in August wanted to get together and cruise again while the weather was still nice. We got together for an impromptu ride on a Saturday night a few weeks ago. Here are some pics, as always more and full size versions on my flickr [...]

Wow, I just realized I had forgotten to post this. Sorry RocBike readers, I’ve been holding out on you! This happened in the end of August, to commemorate the annual Bike Swap Meet, held at the New England Muscle Bike Museum (I was unable to attend so I don’t have pics of that). Here are...

A follow-up to this: “Half of my birthday bike ride” I ended up in Rochester for my birthday last Thursday, and met up with some of the old cruisin posse and a couple of other good friends for a birthday cruise to dinner at John’s Tex Mex, my favorite place for vegetarian tacos. Karl...

my plan for my birthday was to ride my age in miles, but that is actually getting broken up over two days. I ended up getting 13 miles in wednesday on the Farmington Canal Trail, near Hamden, CT. Luckily a buddy from work called me up to go for a ride in the [...]

After an extra week of waiting while my DLG kits were shipped back to california because of a mix up at the fed ex office, they were kind enough to overnight them to me. I installed them in about 5 minutes before work, on my recently acquired and refurbished late 60’s Sears Spyder 5-speed [......

Riding the same route to work every can become dull, I like to spice it up every once in a while with a alternative route. From my apartment, there are really only a couple of roads that go to my company campus, but I have found a couple of off-road options that are pretty [...]

So I work from 4PM to 12:30AM. I usually roll into my apartment around 1AM. I have been having a hard time actually getting to bed before sunrise most mornings. So sometimes I head out at sunrise for a “midnight snack”. Last week I did just that, riding to stop-and-shop for [...]
