My Published Articles

It may seem that I've been blogging lightly, but in actuality I've been writing and illustrating articles for the local bicycle club, the Potomac Pedalers. The club publishes a monthly newsletter, the Pedal Patter. Beginning with the February issue, I discuss a century a month. I try to choose an upcoming annual event, so that the reader still has time to do the ride when the article is published. For example, the May article (which I will post here shortly) discusses the Lobster Ride & Roll century in Maine in July. There's still plenty of time to set up the trip.

The pedal patter articles are available online, but there is sometimes quite a delay in posting them. I'll try to make each one a blog entry.

So, in my dreams, this all becomes a book. Would you buy such a thing?  I would think that maps like this might be quite useful for those planning to do centuries.(I broke the formatting of the web page in order to publish a more readable map. Again, let me know if your browser doesn't like this.)

As for this specific ride, the Horsey Hundred is still an option for people reading this blog in April or early May. Lexington is a comfortable day's drive from most places in the Mid-Atlantic or Chicago. In fact, people come from long distances to enjoy a long spring weekend in horse country.

My article on the Horsey Hundred was published on page 14 of the March issue of the pedal patter.
