It’s okay to follow patterns. Some think you get in a rut if you do the same things in the same pattern regularly. However, sometimes being a “regular “ at certain places is healthy. Lately I’ve become a creature of habit. That is, I’ve started to frequent some of the same establishments on the same […]
As part of a group of 4 cyclists on our road bikes, we headed out for a lap of White Rock Lake. Things were going well until I fell off the pace about 3 miles into the ride. My girlfriend at the time texted asking where I was. I let her know I’d catch up

Like putting an old horse out to pasture, my Felt road bike has been on its last ride. With me, at least. Goodbye, Old Paint. You were a good steed. Carried me through a lot of experiences, an important relationship, and taught me the value of safety. That last bit probably brought you to your

The third expedition to map out The Loop Dallas. This leg K2 and I started at Trinity Groves and took the Skyline to the Santa Fe Trestle. The idea was to connect up with the Trinity Forest leg we had done earlier. Along the way we enjoyed a stop for lunch (and beer) at Manhattan

The second in our connect-the-dots of the Dallas Loop Trail series. We started at the Ridgewood end of the trail and headed into the city. Across the UCT (University Crossing Trail) to Glencoe Park near SMU and on to the Katy Trail. It really bridges the gap between the suburban and the urban–going from the

Our first discovery ride of The Loop Dallas. K2 (Kristi Kerr) found me at a holiday party. She knows me to be a cyclist and she wanted to explore the all of The Loop Dallas. In sections, mind you. On e-bikes. With stops. Here’s the first segment we navigated: The Trinity Forest and AT&T Trails.

When I heard about The Loop Dallas it conjured up thoughts of the Huckleberry Loop in Tucson. Then when K2 approached me at a holiday party that clinched it. I guess I’m going on a series of bike rides with a naturalist to discover this new ring of the city. OK I’m in. “Let’s start
