I’m Mack505 and I approve of this message.
Good morning from Medic 4! It has BEEN a WEEK. We have been riding a roller coaster of personal highs and lows, and it’s not over yet. This morning it’s dark, damp and foggy. It’s also 55° and was the perfect day for a bike ride to work. I’m finding that the ~1/2 hour of… Continue reading It’s been a week
We lost Cricket this week. Dementia, kidney failure, and plain old age finally caught up with her. At 18+ she was ancient in dog years yet still remained spry until almost the end. I didn't want a dog, but Mrs Mack505 talked me into one back in 2007. Cricket was a rescue from a high-kill… Continue reading Cricket
Tilly spots a bug on the ceiling. Sammie is not impressed.
Back in May I promised a DGR update. Better late than never I guess. Kiddo and I attended The Big One in NYC. Over 800 bikes & riders showed up. We lined up at Grand Central Terminal for a 2 hour ride escorted by NYPD which covered three boroughs and two bridges, ending with a… Continue reading DGR 2022 update

It's impossible to navigate from post to post, and you cannot access posts beyond the first page without searching for them. I'll be looking for a better one soon. (edited: I've changed it. Will see if… Continue reading Updates 10/22
I rode Mrs March505’s Super73 ebike to the summit of Mt Holyoke today. It was great. I felt like I was cheating when I passed a pair of ‘real’ cyclists on the way up. They were friendly and cheerful though. Oh, and I desperately need a shave. Sorry. Vacation mode.
I haven’t photographed much recreationally lately, but this view struck my artistic eye today. Shot on my iPhone; the best camera is the one you have available.
I used to have a green duck umbrella. It was cute and fun and I have no idea where I got it. Many years ago I left it on a carousel in Old Orchard Beach, and I was disappointed. I found a yellow one somewhere. It died an early death at the hands of a… Continue reading Umbrella
https://youtu.be/3tLfal1E52Q Beth and I will be riding in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride again next week. We’re doing something big & different this year in celebration of her pending graduation. Details later. 🙂 We would appreciate a buck or two for Men’s Health Research and Mental Health Support if you can spare it. Here’s the link:… Continue reading DGR 2022
I am a child of the 80’s. Like so many of us, I came of age at the local mall. Liberty Tree Mall was the coolest of the cool. It was anchored at one end by a local discount retailer called Ann & Hope, and at the other by local electronics legend Lechemere. It had… Continue reading Liberty Tree
