Hi. My name is Kyle. This is my blog. But I won't be the only one posting here. This blog is called 'The Spoke Easy' [credit to my very clever wife for the great name idea] and will primarily cover organized bike rides, and training rides leading up to the 4th annual Tour de Kota, and RAGBRAI. There will be photos posted, stories posted and thoughts posted.

Don't be surprised if the content deviates from time to time, as I do have interests other than biking. You have been warned.

Tour de Kota begins June 8th, so there is very little time left for training! My friend Mark Wagner (Wags) and I will be riding the 7 day ride which winds around eastern South Dakota this year.

I'll be attempting a training ride of about 55 miles this weekend and will post some photographs of the people and sites I find along the way. Stay tuned...
