Trail Ride at Village Creek State Park

Sunday, June 30th at 3 p.m. there will be a guided trail ride at Village Creek State Park. Meet at the Visitor Center parking lot.

If you need a bike or your bike is out of commission we have three rental bikes that are available first come first serve.

If we were to start a weekly ride at the park what day, Saturday or Sunday, and time, morning or afternoon, would work the best for everyone? I know everyone will not make it every week, I myself won't make every week, but once it gets established it could be self sustaining and provide an opportunity to ride with friends every week regardless of who is leading it.

You can either leave a comment with your suggestion or e-mail me at adam.leslie@arkansas.gov


See you in the park,

Adam

Gearhead Triathlon, Jonesboro

JR Thomas, Thomas McCutcheon, Jake Haralson,
Bryce Dodson, me and Jackie

 Sunday, June 16, 2013

Happy Father's Day Ya'll!  I have to brag that Jackie and I rolled out and got on the road by 6:15 this morning and had a generous amount of time to get our stuff situated at the Gearhead Tri at Craighead Forrest Park.  The place wasn't packed at 7 am when we were getting our stuff laid out in the transition area.  We've waited until the last minute for Chloe's tri's and several Mighty Mites.  Today I simply thought I didn't want that stress and waste of energy by arriving late since it'll be the only tri we're doing this year.  It worked perfectly and it was an easy triathlon for me, easy like Sunday morning, I kid you not.  I'll still swim all summer with Kara and ride bikes too...I'll let ya'll know when the next ride is!

This race was a 500 yard swim, 10 mile bike and 3 mile run. Here are our results:

Jake Haralson 1:22:15
Bryce Dodson 1:24:15
Thomas McCutcheon 1:30:43
Jackie 1:32:32
me 1:33:28
JR Thomas 1:37:39

I cannot tell you all the TRILL I had when I figured out that
the Aquapac I bought 2 years ago could fit my Dexcom
sensor and pump in it.  It was a huge beast I had to stuff down my
tri shorts but it was so worth it knowing where I am in regards
to blood sugar during a long race.

Birdeye's next triathlete...August!

Bike to Carroll Cloar, Saturday, June 29, 2013

Sunday, June 9, 2013

Eight of the BBC rode out to Village Creek this morning, it was a windy, but beautiful day.  The Killough's and Blanton's got in a heavy downpour on their ride home but they toughed it out as us Smith's rode in our dry cars! :)

Wynne native Joe Dooley sent this to me this morning and I thought you'd like to see it.  Not sure we'll make the ride but here's a link to it at the Brooks Museum:

Kara and I, along with husbands, are riding bikes to the Wynne Presbyterian Church service at Village Creek State Park Pavillion 3 on Sunday for potluck brunch and informal service to meet our new pastor Rev. Mike McCracken and his family.  Plans are to meet at the Crowley's Ridge Country at 8:30 am, and make the 10 mile ride to the park.  Anyone is invited that would like to ride out there.  We're sending our brunch items with family, fyi.  There's a 40% chance of rain, if it looks iffy, call me 870-362-5679 and I'll let you know if we're changing plans!  -Keeli
