A Band of Brothers

kolokoy101

A Band of Mischief Brothers. They seldom see one another.  And when do they do, they tend to become loud. They are full of BS talks.  They talk in a language none of those around them understand.  Others would not approve of some of the actions they do.  They couldn’t care less. They do events together.  And before the event, trash talks build up – either to stir some friendly conversation, or to intimidate and instill fear.  Those who know, know this is plain BS.  Those who get fooled, well… Today, they rode HoH – Hell of Hunterdon – a … Continue reading A Band of Brothers

Bear Mountain Trails, Part 2

kolokoy101

Saturday, May 28, 2016. 2 birds in 1 stone, my Saturday plan.  Or should I say, 2 bears in 1 day – Bear Mountain that is. Since the first BM Trails exploration, I’ve been craving for another trail experience.  But at the same time, I  needed to spend some time on the saddle for a triathlon training.  So, I decided to do both – bike up Bear Mountain to Perkins Tower, and then switch gears and hike the trails afterwards. Saturday morning.  I parked at the RD/TT trail head on 9W, and started the ride before 8AM.  This part of … Continue reading Bear Mountain Trails, Part 2

Late Post. Central Jersey 200k – First Official Rando

kolokoy101

Sept 19, 2015 – On this day, Kit, a friend and a fellow endurance athlete, and I embarked on our first official randonneuring event. This is the NJ Randonneurs Central Jersey 200k. We are not new to riding long distances and spending hours on the saddle, but randonneuring is different. It is a self-supported long distance ride, relying on the cue sheet given at the start (and a gpx/tcx map route if you happen to have a gadget like garmin where you can upload and follow the route). To get more information about randonneuring, visit these wonderful sites, RUSA and … Continue reading Late Post. Central Jersey 200k – First Official Rando

Cranbury 200k+ Unofficial Rando

kolokoy101

Sept 27, 2015 – I did an unofficial Cranbury 200k solo ride. The route map and cue sheet are available from the NJ Rando home page. Downloaded the map from RideWithGPS, Cranbury 200k, and uploaded the course to my tandem gadgets, Garmin Edge 305 and Garmin Forerunner 310xt. Both, by the current lineup of the Garmin products, are old and outdated. But they still work, and at the end of the day, they did their job and got me home safely. I have the 305 on breadcrumb trail display and the 310xt on compass direction display. Photos below taken about 10 … Continue reading Cranbury 200k+ Unofficial Rando
