There were always things being brought to my attention of things: rides, charities, and events that we didn't choose to go to or support because we didn't know about it. Next I wondered how many of these charity rides and events didn't get supported because others didn't know about them. As I added more and more events, and more and more people to the email, many of the “just under 100” email address didn't receive it because it was getting marked as spam and being rejected. Now it is reaching several hundred people thanks to the internet. My goal is to post everything I can that occurs in the Clarksville, TN area but I still don't get everything listed-especially if I don't find out about it until a few days before hand. Sometimes locations and times change due to conflicts, the weather, and I also make mistakes so before you take those vacation days, verify it yourself. There is also a lot of things that go on close by in Kentucky but I don't know about it. Drop me an email containing the information about your event I will try to put it on the list. Just tell me about it and/or send a flyer to [email protected] . I try my best to update weekly, (no promises as sometimes I get lazy). You can also find the latest version online: http://www.willrodgers.info/linked/clarksville_bike_events.pdf If you have a flyer and you are in the Clarksville, TN area, flyer's are posted in here for free.

You know what they say about Tennesee, if you want the weather to change wait ten minutes. Well we are going to have one day that is 80 degrees and two days later the night may be near freezing. Frosts are coming and the leaves will be changing, then falling this month. This time of year serves as a reminder that a drop in tire inflation pressures corresponds with the falling thermometer readings. You can lose 2-3 pounds of air pressure for every 10 degrees of temperature change. We know we should check them each time we ride but do we really pull out the gauge and get a reading or do we kick them to see if they have air? Please don't hit those slick leaves with low tires. Also, tire gauges...if you use a fifty cent gauge, replace it every six months. Even the fancy ones don't last forever. Did you know that once a tire gauge has been dropped, it should be replaced? Keeping a gauge in a hot environment also means the seal inside it will dry rot quicker. So, if your tires are showing signs of improper inflation yet you keep the pressure checked...may be time for a new gauge. 19 SPONSORS: WILL RODGERS ENGINEERING Where there's a WILL, There's a Way http://www.willrodgers.info CLARKSVILLE, TN's own CMA Prayerborne Eagles We're there when you need us.

I mean really push it? I can remember back in the 80's, I had a 1974 CB 750 Honda. It was such an awsome and dependable machine. Once I ran out of gas about three miles from a gas station and I knew I could push it. Full of confidence, I actually made it the better part of a mile when I passed a house where I was offered some lawn mower gas in a jug, I started up the bike and rode the two miles to the station where I filled up. Now the road I was on was almost perfectly level and I was young and in good shape. Moving forward to the 2010's, the 1976 CB 750 I currently own is an expert at quitting every other time I ride it. In fact, I was humiliated to find out that I have been picked up on the side of the road so many times my name has been placed on a scavenger hunt list. Well I broke down again. I had all the confidence in the world I could push it home as I was just a little over a mile from home and, all I had to do is make it over the hill that is 50 yards away and I can coast a full mile to home. I only made it 15 yards. I think I will get a large patch for my jacket that says “SCAVENGER HUNT GRAND PRIZE”.
