The Dave Roll Waterloo Christmas Light Ride on 29th of November

Yes, we are starting a Waterloo Christmas ride. It is not intended to do anything other than be a reason to ride a bike a short distance and be around others. The length is a whopping 3 miles. To sum that is more miles than they have rode for the previous 10 years. That is the person I want there. If you want to bang out miles and demonstrate your cycling skills, there is a ride in Cedar Falls on the 5th of December for that. I believe they are meeting up 6pm and leaving from Overmen Park.

When: 29 November 2023 @ 6pm

Where: Kingsley Elementary School parking lot. On the street parking is fine, look for No Parking sides.

Route: Link Here on Strava App

Ending: Lighthouse Lounge, bring a bike lock. Parking is extremely limited, Also it is a Cash Only Bar.

See what happens this year, and may be this grows, who knows. I started the Cedar Falls one, and it has taken off. I am not aware of a Waterloo one. If one exists, my bad, not competing, just not aware.

- Cheers and Season's Greetings.

A glimpse behind the podcast

If you know you know Guitar Ted and I have been doing a lot of Podcasting in the last year. I can hear the improvements already. I have my issues, and I tend to over speak Mark way more than I should. In my defense, some pauses seem to be extraordinarily long and feels like dead air. So I interject. Then I listen back and I hear no pause In the moment it seems like a life time has passed. We chat over text messages about topics or subjects we are interested in or exploring. That is how we develop our subjects for a show. I have asked for and I really want to do a interview with a specific person that may be controversial. But I am also ignorant to a lot of things, so maybe the time is never right for that interview, who knows? I do enjoy some of the feed back from the shows. The ones I love is "not enough time spent on a topic". I enjoy those comments. I really want to...

Gravel HoF Inductee Ride for Mark

Guitar Ted, I think 2021 July Saturday ride. So if you are reading from outside of the glorious Cedar Valley you may not understand how close I live to Guitar Ted. I am less than a 5 minute bike ride away from his front porch. So it is fairly easy for me to coordinate a ride from time to time with him. Oddly enough I think I am the only person outside of Tony in the area that askes Mark to ride. I think a lot of people have a built up image of the "Gravel God" and his opinions on their rides. In reality, I think he is just happy to share some gravel ribbon with others. Often I have found he is more interested in the same things I am. I think we both enjoy, bridges, old churches, and cemeteries. And yes, we both have a thing for barns. I wont dive in to barns, but occasionally you see some Iowa State developed round barns that are gorgeous, and occasionally I see a Western New York style barn that gets...
