England is a sometimes silly and often very pointy place

Posted on April 22, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Some history: back when there was not steel and glass and pointy metals to construct buildings, Britons actually had to rely on stone and mortar. So it was the height of elegance to refine this process to its absolute peak and create a Pointy thing (or a whole series of them) out of stone to show that you can afford to do just that.

Discovering the great in Great Britain

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Great Britain. United Kingdom. Whatever you call it, this is a fascinating place. Perhaps it helps that my ancestors are from England (the Stewart side) and Scotland (the Cudworth side) but there has not been a minute in my visit … Continue reading →

With an appreciation for the English countryside

Posted on April 19, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

I don’t know what I expected, but it was everything I hoped for and more. The first sweep of spring was evident in the patchwork landscape. As we sunk lower toward the earth, English rowhouses and hedgerows became evident. All the literature of youth came to play in my mind. A.A. Milne’s Winnie-The-Pooh and Christopher Robin for whom I was partially named. Continue reading →

Is anybody out there a runner or cyclist?

Posted on April 15, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

All these little encounters and twists of fate are evidence the world of running and cycling never sits still. People enjoy these pursuits because of the encounters they engender. That goes for the crazy soul who writes this blog. I don’t hide too many of my thoughts and some people might say that’s a risk to me personal brand in some way. But I’d rather be considered honest and a bit crazy than quiet and controlling. It’s better to be crazy than psychopathically obsessed over self-image. Continue reading →

A solo cyclist’s survival guide to springtime winds

Posted on April 14, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

It’s not generally practical to ride your bike in a group every time you go out. That means there will be days when you’re going solo or with just one buddy on the road. That can be tough for everyone … Continue reading →

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

One of the difficult decisions those of us who love both nature and exercise must make each spring day is whether to use the early morning hours to wander in the woods and fields or to run and ride and get … Continue reading →

Is it time to open negotiations on Iranathon, Triranathon and the Tour of Iranathon?

Posted on April 10, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Conservatives hate the deal that President Barack Obama put together with Iran to prevent that nation from growing its nuclear arms capability. There seems to be some difficulty with terminology going on in these negotiations. I see guys with nuclear arms … Continue reading →

Ready for liftoff

Posted on April 9, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

Well this is an interesting day. My scrambled eggs were ordered from a local restaurant because my eggs expired sometime back in 2013. Well, it’s not that bad. But what’s the difference after a certain point? Eggs and other expired … Continue reading →

The ontogeny and evolution of a cyclist must be repeated every year

Posted on April 8, 2015 by Christopher Cudworth

It’s been 10 years since I started cycling seriously. The first couple years almost don’t count. They were ridden on a steel frame Trek 400 bike that had not a prayer of going anywhere fast. That bike was like an … Continue reading →
