You have to wonder if anyone pointed the building out to her and told her the story.DukePiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718611936927124375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761035034264273752.post-51547970476631349252009-05-14T17:03:00.000-04:002009-05-14T17:03:00.000-04:00I hear 'ya... that kind of weekend ride is my favo...I hear 'ya... that kind of weekend ride is my favorite too.

The shop actually looks quite quiet--maybe it's time they switch over to some frame building.co2cyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535288272326787933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761035034264273752.post-84850943078413022442009-05-05T00:06:00.000-04:002009-05-05T00:06:00.000-04:00I figured you'd know of it.

I was surprised how many times I'd biked around there and never headed up that little climb behind the Farmer's Market to find it.<br /><br />I couldn't really tell just looking around if it was still in operation or not. From the N&O article, it sounds like it was at least 3 years ago.

I think Chris also incorporated as a part of his sprint/cooldown workout that I joined him on a couple of times.<br /><br />I'd like to say that the Oprah building's owner's death surprises me, but that place was just begging for a murder. Definitely one of the creepier places in D-town.<br /><br />Long live slow rides!DukePiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718611936927124375noreply@blogger.com
