Making Waves

Another clip from the Alaska Randonneurs Homer 200K brevet ride.

Tranfiguration of Our Lord Russian Orthodox Church Ninilchik, Alaska

I was down in Homer this past weekend doing a 200K brevet ride with the Alaska Randonneurs. This church was our northernmost control. From here we turned to go back to Homer.
Below is a short and compressed video clip of near the beginning of the ride, where we were going out the Homer spit.  Enjoy...

The June 15th Annual Anchorage 100K Ride

This ride is an event put on by the Alaska Randonneurs.  It's a 100K (62.3mile) circuit of anchorage on mostly bike trails, but some roads too.  A fun ride.  This highly compressed video goes from the start to a short way past the first control.  Set it for HD and enjoy...

Just A Rider In The Rain

This was taken at the (4a.m.) start of the Alaska Randonneurs 5/31/14, Anchorage/Seward/Anchorage ride.  I did the 200K to Seward and took the train back.  IT was very wet and windy leaving Anchorage, as you can see.  Enjoy!

Don't Forget D-Day

Let's not forget D-Day



 On this day, 6/6/2014, please take a few moments of silence to remember those who served and were at Normandy on D-Day.

I saw this at American Digest, it's from the Diplomad's site. Fitting for this day.

I can no longer call him inept and incompetent. He is malevolent. He is out to destroy the spirit that built and sustained the country, and was evident on the beaches and along the hedgerows of Normandy seventy years ago. He detests our military and makes no effort to hide that. His recent speech at West Point, of course, is either an example of how little this little man understands his role as Commander-in-Chief, or is the product of an ideology that hates the cadets and their values--I go with the second interpretation.

It appears spring is threatening to show up, which saying so, in April in Alaska is always tempting fate.  However, the weather has been good enough to get a good start on bicycling.

Yesterday, the Alaska Randonneurs held their second ride of the season.  I did a 100K and though a little windy in places, it wasn't too chilly.  Below is the route.

Down Hill

I tried to upload this directly to this web-site, but was unsuccessful.  So here you go.
Made with a GoPro Hero 3, Black edition. It was mounted on my handlebars.  Anyway, enjoy.
