Cycling 2012 - Mile 1100 - Escena del accidente mortal

New rule - it's getting a little too difficult to strategically land on an exact mile multiple of 100, and have it be something photo-worthy. Now I'm gonna use photos from a multiple of 100 ride, not the exact mile. These photos, which were available at both 1085 miles and 1098 miles are the death spot of the unfortunate Mr. Cornelio Hernandez, who was driving containers of delicious NJ peaches downhill where he lost control, hit the bridge at Oldman's Creek and was crushed to death. His co-workers and possibly family have shown great care -

For the record, and to lift the mood here's exactly at mile 1100:

Cycling 2012 - Mile 500

Milestone - literally - on the side of the road in the rushes. I was going to go down Pennsville-Auburn Road but lately there's been a lot of bad ..... mojo on that road, and while I have a scientific mind, I just wanted to let the moribund vibe get washed away with the rain.

So down King's Highway I went - it was beautiful going but the return was so windy that it was like walking back.

Mile 700 - Christmas Day 2011

Two sides of Harrisonville Lake:

Rough side, looking at the spillway through the road bridge arch atop hurricane-washed roots.

Pretty side of the lake from the bridge, with a fallen sycamore making its own mirror image.

Probably last o' the year owing to the fact that I am up to breaking a spoke every 20-40 miles, and either need to replace or re-lace my rear wheel. Probably replace, owing to some questionable wear on the hub.

HOORAY!!!!

Mile 600

Mile 600 Moravian Church 1789 11/15/2011

Mile 400

Oldman's Creek - the border of Salem and Gloucester counties New Jersey - Center of the Known Universe.

I had a huge delay in rideability owing to a spoke that broke on the cogset side, and I commenced taking it apart, not knowing what i was doing and ended up with ball bearings all over the place and parts I had never seen before. I had to buy a chain whip and a cassette tool and after half a can of degreaser, a tube of grease and truing of the spoke I got it all back together.

I used to hate the late Sheldon Brown, but now I love him, as well as the Park Tool company, both who hepled me through all the cofusing lingo and BS associated with this set of repairs.. Ha-HA I didn't hafta buy a wheel OR give a huge check to a repair shop!

So maybe not 1,000 miles this year, maybe only 600 - cheer me on readers- all 6 of you!
