5/12/2009 Mansfield, OH (3.0 miles) – Down and up Park Avenue “hill”

Published on June 29, 2012 By Mophe

On the drive home to Columbus, I decided to stop in Mansfield for another hour of riding. I guess people don’t really understand these rides for 2-3 hours are like running a half marathon! I made the classic mistake — I rode all the way “down” a hill and then had to ride back “up”. […]

3/24/2009 Whitehall, OH (2.0 miles) – Ride Down Broad Street

Published on June 7, 2012 By admin

I didn’t cover many miles in Gahanna so I decided to go down Hamilton road into Whitehall for another 2-mile ride. The sidewalks were a little bumpy and I lost my balance three times. I was waving to two guys across the street and lost it, so I decided to stage a fall to the […]
