    Michigan Day 2

    7. august 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Lisa and I spent the day relaxing at the lake. I got out for a nice 45 mile bike ride on the road. Otherwise we were taking the pontoon boat for a ride, fishing, or just relaxing around the lake. Another piece for sunset ride on the water. We didn’t hear anything from the boys at the river, so we assume all is well!Les mer

    Preparing for Michigan & Evening Ride

    5. august 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Most of the day was spent getting ready for our trip to Michigan. We bought a lot of groceries for Sebastian and his three friends that will be staying at the river without parents! They planned their menu, and plan to prepare all their food at the river over the fire or the barbecue. This will be the boys first real long road trip together. We are glad they are going to follow us on the nearly 7 Hour drive. In the evening we took a ride with Pat, and hit some of our favorite gravel roads to the east and south of Iowa City. We ended up with beers at our house, another fun summer day!Les mer

    Another Awesome Sunset Ride!

    Yesterday’s sunset ride was so great, I planned another one. I didn’t think it could get any better, but tonight we were graced with a full moon rising too. We are having a fun time this summer exploring gravel roads of Iowa, and making the best of not traveling to Europe!Les mer

    To start the month of August, I planned a sunset ride for Lisa and I.

    I wrote 100 miles of gravel over to Marshalltown. It would’ve been my dad’s 85th birthday. We surprise my mom by arranging a tree planting at the college he taught at for nearly 50 years. The day was super hot, and this made for a tough ride.Les mer

    Another CYST Recovery Day

    21. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    The day was spent working on the window and tinkering around the house. We finished the inside trim on the window and later in the day I rode Zwift. The route was the Champs-Élysées in Pairs. It was interesting to ride it In a virtual world verse riding it in real life in the summer of 2018. Duh, real is way better. We miss touring in Europe! 😢Les mer

    Lazy Day at Home / Windmills

    20. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    I relaxed at home and caught up with my online class I’m teaching and on the window installation. In the evening I did a Zwift ride to keep me riding streak going. Lisa did some work and taught yoga. She also did the courageous work of going to the hardware store to get supplies for the window installation. I decided since I don’t have many photos of the day I would post some windmill photos I’ve been saving.Les mer

    CYST Day 7 (MTB Iowa City)

    19. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Pat, Joe, and I rode to the Coralville trails and explored the new flow trail too. It was a nice casual day to end a week of riding. The total mileage for the week ended around 280 miles. We had a great amount of fun and did the best we could with the current pandemic state of the country. Joe head back to Pella and Adam to Michigan. Sebastian came over in the afternoon and we had a relaxing evening of chicken tacos (one of Sebastian’s favorites) and watched “The Office.” After dinner we went for a drive to watch the sunset and picked up some ice cream on the way back to the house.Les mer

    CYST Day 6 (West Liberty Gravel)

    18. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Another super hot day of gravel riding. We planned a 35 mile gravel loop to the Southeast. Adam had two more flat tires and we gave him some grieve for not having them near any shade. We stopped at an old cemetery near West Liberty for a break. An 85 year old man showed up with his daughter and he was full of stories for us. In West Liberty we had Casey’s pizza in the Park and then ventured back to Iowa City through the blazing heat. Again we relaxed at our house in the evening.Les mer

    Friends, brunch, & another Res. Loop

    12. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    I got in a quick Res. Loop before Braden and Regina came over for brunch. Adam (Lisa’s brother) arrived later in the day and we did a bbq with Sebastian.

    Friday Gravel

    10. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Lisa and I headed out in the later afternoon for a gravel ride. Lisa was feeling tired from 2 hours of exercise early in the day, decided to go home after about three miles. I continued to the Northeast and looped back around to stop at Ken’s new house. It was another sunny ride through the lusciously green soybean and corn fields. Sebastian helped prep. For our new window installation earlier in the day. Lisa is standing near our front yard flowers. 🌸Les mer

    A rainy day & birds I don’t like.

    9. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    It was supposed to rain all day, so I opted for a virtual ride later in the day. I spent the day working on bikes. Sebastian had cross country practice, mowed the backyard, and worked at the eye clinic for 4 hrs. I got my old CX bike ready for Joe, my college roommate, to ride this week on our annual Iowa ride together. Lisa worked and started a new certification class for teaching exercise classes at the university. I also decided to include today birds I don’t like so much, They probably aren’t that bad and serve their purpose in the world, but I’m not a fan. I have been pecked in the helmet by numerous Red winged Black Birds! The others birds are Crow, Grackle, and Turkey Vulture (buzzard). The Bluejay almost made the list, but it’s so pretty.Les mer

    Morning ride & an outdoor shower

    8. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Another hot day expected, so I got out early for a loop over the reservoir. The temperature was already in the mid. 80’s when I was done riding. Like most rides in the summer, I ended with a cool outdoor shower and a 2nd breakfast. 😀 lisa and I built the shower about 5 years ago. I stumbled across this letter from a gravel race I used to do, and the windows will be replaced this weekend with money we saved from our canceled trip this summer.Les mer

    Melting into the Road

    6. juli 2020, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Another hot day! Not the hottest I’ve ridden in, but close. The online course I teach started today. I worked on our house a bit getting prepared for some new windows . At the hottest part of the day Lisa and I rode toward Sharon Center. On the way into town we stopped for a cold drink on a bench in Oak Grove Park. In 20 years of being in Iowa City, I have ridden by the park around 1000 times, but this was my first time stopping. 🙂Les mer
