AAron at AAKT: December 2013
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Breaking Trail to Close 2013. It's the final day of the year, and I really want to go for one last 2013 ride. The weather is not cooperating. It's 20 degrees, 20mph wind, snowy, and a "feels like" of 6. I pile on my warmest layers, adding an extra upper layer and a balaclava. Wow, I haven't busted out the full face coverage in a while. At the least I'm going to Mohican for a short loop. The snow is providing some excellent traction. Maybe he's off trail? I stop to take a pictu...

AAron at AAKT: November 2013
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 30, 2013. The turkey and stuffing are well digested and this afternoon was time to get out for a ride. On my last, and first ride, with the Black Mountain Cycles bike I thought the handlebars were a touch high. Today I lowered the handlebars 15mm before heading out. I also strapped a super blinky to the seatpost. Not a crash, just testing the ice. There were several hunters parked down in the wildlife area. I passed by a father and son headed for the woods. "Have a good hunt! I still r...

Thursday, October 31, 2013. A robot and mini mouse hauled in some candy. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Came home from work and headed to chase a sunset. Well, not really chase as I was riding east towards Moreland hill. I figured that would be a good destination to reach as the sun was going down and maybe get another good sunset picture from this point of high ground. Amish buggy heading west under a setting sun. Sunday, October 20, 2013. Half a Library Roll. This afternoon Ryan and I met in Fredericksbu...

Friday, April 3, 2015. NAHBS 2015 - part 4. Here's a final post from my visit to the 2015 North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Once again, it was my first time to attend this event after following it in media for the past five years or so. I was excited, overwhelmed, and inspired by the display of all things bike. Now the final batch of pictures. I lined up to head down an outer aisle and found. This tough looking 29er from Savvy Cycles. With thoughts of wood framed bikes brewing in my head. Following a...

AAron at AAKT: Mixed Surface Overcast Wandering
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2015/04/mixed-surface-overcast-wandering.html
Saturday, April 25, 2015. Mixed Surface Overcast Wandering. Overcast days are my favorite to get out for a ride. There's nothing like an early spring, chilly, and sun-less Saturday morning to keep many inside while I'm out on the road. This morning was such a morning and I rolled out the driveway unsure of where I was headed. This way looks promising! Eventually I made it to Shreve Lake. It really didn't look any different than the last time I swung by, which is to say it looks rather strange. In...OMBC ...

AAron at AAKT: April 2014
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. Easter weekend and we have a full schedule. Fortunately I planned ahead and had my bike and gear ready to go for a trip to Mohican between a soccer game and birthday party. There were a good number of cars in the parking lot. I'm guessing there were more than a few Mohican 100 racers out on training rides. The weather was just perfect, 55 degrees and sunny, as I rolled out. Feeling good in the pine forest. It was a much better ride than my last one at Mohican and I really enjoye...

AAron at AAKT: August 2013
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 31, 2013. Ryan and I made it up to the Cuyahoga Valley for another Manatoc Experience. It was a fun event to be hanging out and riding with so many other mountain bikers. We did a couple laps of the course and a couple demo rides of Trek bikes. A fun time. Overlooking the expo area. Getting ready to demo ride. After a long wait for a guy in tube socks and 80's helmet to bring. Back this bike in my size, I gave up. Maybe next time. Monday, August 19, 2013. Sunday, August 18, 2013.

AAron at AAKT: January 2014
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 16, 2014. After church we ate lunch and I set out to meet Ryan on the road. I realized I had left about 15 minutes earlier than we planned, so I made a little detour to get in some off pavement riding. The light was working well for this picture! We met on Messner Road and headed south to Fredericksburg. It was in the upper 30's and frequently overcast but it still felt cold. Nice row tunnels. Green stuff growing inside. Wow, that's a trash filled jam at a bridge. Back tracking on Valley.

AAron at AAKT: OMBC Race Photo
http://aaron-at-aakt.blogspot.com/2015/04/ombc-race-photo.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. During the race Saturday I remember seeing a photographer in the first rock on the state park loop. As I rode by I thought a couple things:. 1 I wonder if and where I may find his pictures online after the race? 2 I wonder how stupid of a face I could have been making as I passed by him and heard the camera snapping. Fortunately, I easily found Butch Phillips Photography. Web site. Even more fortunately, I didn't look too odd in the picture he posted of me. :-).
