On Your Left Cycling

I was trying to make a short video of me putting my new road bike through it's paces, BUT instead I had a day of random mechanical "surprises" and a walk of shame toget home!

Taking a ride on a Giant OCR 3 - This is my first time riding a drop-bar road bike in a *very* long time- watch me deal with the awkwardness of getting used to it on this short ride!

I call the Peters Brook Greenway bike path the "Cursed" bike path because every time I try to shoot a video there something goes wrong- either the path is flooded, or a battery goes dead in one of my cameras, etc... after several attempts, I've finally gotten through this short route that is a handy way to travel between two adjacent towns without having to cross the major, high traffic road that runs between them.

Using my bike to run an errand- dropping off some tax docs with my accountant on the other side of town. Unfortunately, he said that doesn't mean I can claim my cycling gear as a deduction.

Follow me as I explore a short offroad trail that I've never ridden before in Neshanic Station. When I recorded this I actually had no idea what this trail was called, and found a map after the fact that had a name, so I'm running with it! This trail is much rougher than the well tailored Canal Path I've shown in past videos.

A Ride on Canal Road, a popular spot for many riders in my area due to it's long, mostly level running length, low traffic levels, and easy access to the D&R Canal trail/path. This stretch was a major part of the RCDCU Bike-A-Thon charity event to help the fight against cancer- I found out about them by seeing their route markers around some of the best areas to ride , and finally looked them up at https://rcdcubike.com/ - keep an eye on them for when they start running their event again after things open up again- it's a worthy cause.

A Ride down a more rural area on Woodfern road through a lot of open farmland with hardly any cars, or many other people around.

Now that we have spring weather and the trail is clear of snow and ice, I'm doing another run down a familiar section of the Delaware and Raritan Canal towpath. Since there were a lot of other people on the path today, I used it as an opportunity to say a few words about proper cycling trail etiquette - especially when it comes to pedestrians.

Getting in a quick ride before the latest snow storm picks up too much and the road conditions get too nasty - also shows me learning a lesson about using camera equipment in a snowstorm! Find me on Ride With GPS at https://ridewithgps.com/users/2497420/

Find me on Ride With GPS at https://ridewithgps.com/users/2497420/ We had some technical difficulties this time around- I neglected to charge one of my cameras, so I'm just owning up to the mistake and uploading the video anyway! Will have to revisit this ride segment again at a later date!

Riding along Millstone River Road in winter conditions. This time, I finally got the clock on my camera set correctly. Find me on Ride With GPS at https://ridewithgps.com/users/2497420/

A winter ride along Weston Canal Road. Once again, the clock on my camera is off, and I didn't notice until I finished up- but only by 12 hours this time Find me on Ride With GPS at https://ridewithgps.com/users/2497420/

First ride after the biggest snowstorm in a year now that the roads are clear. Please forgive the obviously incorrect time stamps on the action camera view - looks like the date/time settings reset themselves at some point and I didn't notice until after I got home.

A Ride down Roycefield Road with a few good sized hills. First ride since I got my Dual Sport 2 back from the shop- shifting is now very smooth. I have different tires now- the new tires are Bontrager LT2 Comp 700x38 - slightly narrower than my old tires, but with a little more aggressive tread- they seem to do well on the road, and I think they'll perform pretty well on the trails too.

A Ride down Sunnymeade Road and beyond to one of the local canal trail entrances.

A ride on a segment of Weston Road that's a challenging hill climb- for a beginner at least. Find me on Ride With GPS at https://ridewithgps.com/users/2497420/

A Ride on the paved bike path through one of the more popular local parks in my area. Find me on Ride With GPS at https://ridewithgps.com/users/2497420/

A ride through an easy local off-road trail hidden behind a local park. It's a short, flat course and a good place for beginner Mountain Bike riders to start developing their skills, or for a hybrid or gravel bike rider to get some off-road experiences.
