Two weeks ago I rode with about 40 other cyclists to honor the memory of Peter Teeuwen in Chesapeake, Virginia. Among the riders were Peter's brother, Gerald and his son John. His daughter, Christina, was at the Grassfield Ruritan Club building with others preparing the potluck meal the cyclists attending had brought this day. We set off dow...

Local Outer Banks journal of surfing lore, history, and interviews. Also local road cycling and racing. Sunday, September 6, 2009. Hurricane Bill and Our Crickets. Light flashes sparked off the back of my glasses lenses. What I thought must be lightning, were scores of tourists on condominium balconies firing their cameras at nature colliding. The rain began. I walked slowly to my car hoping tomorrow would bring the surf conditions that thrill me. It surely did. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Road Cyclis...

Another winter collision is about to occur between a coastal low pressure system crawling northward up the coast and arctic air sweeping in from the northwest tomorrow night. We may get snow or sleet or rain. Who knows? We are sure to get wind though- -and, as usual, plenty of it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View From the Ridge. Dave Mo...

Local Outer Banks journal of surfing lore, history, and interviews. Also local road cycling and racing. Saturday, January 31, 2009. I'm listening to Sarah Vaughn sing "If Love is Good to Me". Just back through the door from walking my dog. Thirty-four degrees, saw my frosty breath and such an immense, deep, black night sky spattered with stars and silence. The wind died. The wood stove is so warm on my right side. It is fully chest-out winter now. Friday, January 23, 2009. I believe so, with new people a...

Local Outer Banks journal of surfing lore, history, and interviews. Also local road cycling and racing. Friday, January 8, 2010. A Ride In Memorium- -Peter Teeuwen. I began racing five years ago starting with a few time trials. They were the Peter Teeuwen Time Trials, three each summer. I raced two that year. You race on a 23 mile course shaped like a lollipop with square corners against the clock and your own mind and endurance. I loved it. Time to change your occupation on your profile?

A sad passing of our water buddy, Greg Bennett, marked last week. The last time I saw him was surfing at Barnes Street in Nags Head summer before last with many locals and their children in the water. He was the happiest of us all, savoring his day with waves to ride. We all will miss you Greg. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View From the Ridge.

Our club is fielding more riders than ever with eight, two of which are female. Last year there were only four of us. It's always a morale lift to see teammates in the field competing in the race's various divisions. It's also special to see a rider wearing your team's jersey in the peloton racing with you. I'll let you know how it goes. Blog Gap and th...

http://kyscoast.blogspot.com/2009/12/december-atlantic.html
Local Outer Banks journal of surfing lore, history, and interviews. Also local road cycling and racing. Monday, December 7, 2009. I tapped a few nice rights on my old (1982) 7'2" Sunset single fin- -so fine. I hadn't felt this kind of ride in 26 years. The current was ripping from south to north at 7 or 8 knots. It felt like a conveyor belt grinding up the coast, riding it from sandbar to bar until the next set came through. All aboard! Thanks for reading. Get waves.on whatever you like to ride. I love y...

KYScoast: The Winter Cycling 25---What I Wore Today

Local Outer Banks journal of surfing lore, history, and interviews. Also local road cycling and racing. Friday, January 1, 2010. The Winter Cycling 25- -What I Wore Today. I continued this sort of obsessive look into just how far I was into this sport I really do love. But from time to time I do need a self audit. It will be about 9 degrees colder tomorrow with a northwest wind blowing 25 to 35 mph. I love this sport. Happy New Year y'all. Happy New year and heres to a prosperous 2010 with tons of miles!
