Oak Floor restoration.

Having the oak floors refinished in my home. I figure these trees were from the 1700s or prior. I like the wood work of the older homes

Sunday Century Ride.

Well was a beautiful day and I had off work so I saddled up and rode another century on the dirt. That makes it 41 for the year. I would like to hit 52 for the year. I lost 8 weeks this winter when I worked straight through and didn't get a day off. My knee went out in June and I lost 3 weeks of riding time, and my appendix freaked out on me and I lost another 3 weeks. Came home starving and ate a lot of junkie food from HallowWeenie left overs. Tomorrow getting all the hardwood floors sanded and varnished. LQQK out for the mess.

Windy trail riding

The wind last night blew lots of trees down.

I thought about trying to carry my bike across the half finished bridge, but decided not to, and cut through a corn field and over a barb wire fence.

Another bridge getting rebuilt. The original bridge was washed out from the flood of June 08
Rode 62 miles today, enjoyed getting out in the country. Fought the wind all the way to Dyersville, but on the way home, I flew with 20 mph at my back. Hope tomorrow brings the same.

Headed out, cause I have to.

The girls say good morning

And I say gotta go.

Chitty chitty Bang Bang

Dang Nabbit, I am starting to feel like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Does not the Chitty Chitty Bangers know I am planning a full weekend of cycling? I will began hydration restoration brought to you by Bud Ice.

Late Afternoon ride

Oh NO. Daylight savings time is going away for the season. Doesn't leave daylight to ride after work. I will take some half day vacation days to catch some riding time. Tonight I got out for an hours ride along the Mississippi river and Eagle Point Park.

Me and grandson Cole

Matching hats.

Rainy day

Waiting for the rain to stop, wanted to ride some. Rain slowed down, streets were wet and full of leaves, slicker then snotty noodles. So rode the Xcross on pavement, more tire on the road.

Out in the country.

See that hole that my front tire is in? This is on a path I like to ride. The hole would come up on you by surprise, everything looks so much the same it was hard to judge where it was at. So I put this warning system in. So maybe it might prevent somebody from getting hurt.

LQQKs like an anaconda crawling across the road.

Creatures

I'm glad these things are not carnivores, they finally moved and let me through.
