Sam Rides Again

Back on the Path

First Ride

FINALLY! The weather has warmed up enough that I can creep from hibernation and go biking again. And, what’s an inaugural ride without a GoPro to shoot all of the photos I can’t be bothered to stop and take myself? In retrospect, it was probably counter-intuitive to convert all of photos of the glorious, spring ride into black and white, but I feel like I had to do something to set them apart from all of the other biking pictures I post.

I’ve set a personal goal to bike 1,000 miles this year, and today’s 20 mile trek was my first step.I just hope I can keep up the momentum,

It’s Really, Really, Really, Really Cold

In case the title wasn’t enough to give it away, Ohio is being Ohio, and temperatures have dropped from the 50s to the negative double digits in about 3 days. I’d prefer to hibernate until I can bike again, but I know I can’t neglect the site anymore. Not to guilt my followers, but I ventured forth through the frozen wasteland just to bring all of you photos.

Outrunning Winter 5

I completely forgot that I had photos from a a fall ride gathering dust on a memory card, seemingly lost forever to the light of day. That is until the next time I used the GoPro and I realized that half of my card was already occupied.

Waning Autumn

With the temperatures dipping below 30 degrees and the first flurries beginning to fall,  Karen talked me into leaving the bike at home today. I still needed to get out though, and walking’s slower pace gave me more of a chance to appreciate the waning autumn.

Tracing Revisited

It’s been a while since I played with the tracing effect with my work, I got the itch to go back and use the technique on some of my more recent work.

Outrunning Winter 4

Since I’ve been uploading GoPro images from my bike trips so often, I’ve started to look for alternate routes to keep things from getting too stale. I didn’t have much time to explore, but I did manage to explore a new way to and from where I work. First, I went through some back roads behind the country club and then I found a new vantage point for one of the Twin Lakes behind a local tavern. On the way back, I found a middle route between the short and long ways home.

GoPro Down The Towpath

I forgot to charge my GoPro for my bike ride yesterday. But, I managed to snag a few stills before the battery died.
