T.K. 6.5 mi replied to in it to win it 8.0 mi's discussion 'I rode today. Did you?'"I question this. The ride this morning was mostly refreshing, except for random horrible stenches here and there (might be because of my southside, industrial-heavy, route). I have this growing suspicion that riding through a puddle in the…"

T.K. 6.5 mi replied to in it to win it 8.0 mi's discussion 'I rode today. Did you?'"Haha! Ive seen a ton of these folks over the last two weeks.

T.K. 6.5 mi commented on Serge Lubomudrov's group 'Running Riders'"Greetings all! I am signed up to do the Rock N Roll Half and have begun training. It would be awesome to find someone else nearby that would like to share the burden of motivation during a few weekday 6:30 am runs. I live in Noble Square…"
