SOUTH BETHANY, DELAWARE Rather than one ride, this does not lend itself so well to one post. Instead, we get one post for a week of rides. We arrived at South Bethany, Delaware, to stay in the home of Pete and Lisa Schmidt. They had donated a week of their beautiful home to CureFest and […]
CLAYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA Exploring. I enjoy riding new roads and sometimes just will map out a new ride and go exploring. Starting in Sproul, Pa., which I guess is a suburb of Claysburg (this is humor, folks), I mapped out a route over Blue Knob, down to Newry, then over Locke Mountain, through Martinsburg, then back […]
PURCELLVILLE, VIRGINIA Andrew’s car was in the shop and wanted to borrow mine to go to Purcellville. I told him I’d drive him there with a bike and he could choose to bike or drive home. He chose poorly. What a beautiful summer day. I took the W&OD, a route I am well familiar with. […]
ALTOONA, PENNSYLVANIA It was June, 2008, when I first rode “The Wall” in Altoona. I knew it was special then and in 2009, it became my “escape from cancer” place to ride. I have ridden it in spring, summer, and winter – but not fall. Interesting. We had been planning for Jacob’s Hero Ride, a […]
BEDFORD, PENNSYLVANIA It was bittersweet day as we had been planning for Jacob’s Hero Ride across Pennsylvania for children’s cancer research and to honor Jacob Grecco. Although that didn’t work out, I was able to bring a couple riders on the team, Chey Hillsgrove and Chelsea Johnson, to Pennsylvania for some riding. I promised them […]
LEESBURG, VIRGINIA I don’t (normally) ride for speed but it’s nice to go fast. And it’s a nice metric to measure oneself against Father Time. I haven’t had any real fast rides this year and I’m not counting rides where I jump in a pace line. This is just me against the “clock.” Yesterday I […]
IDAHO SPRINGS, COLORADO This was my last day to ride in Colorado before flying back home tomorrow. I drove to Boulder and picked up Ki Young Kim. We followed the suggested GPS route to Idaho Springs until we reached US 6. I told Ki Young I wanted to follow that road. We did and it […]
LOVELAND, COLORADO It was a beautiful morning as I rolled out. I parked in Loveland and decided to head up US 34 towards Estes Park. I knew the Texas 4000 was there and headed to Fort Collins but knew nothing else. If I ran into them I would say hello. US 34 is not a […]
CAÑON CITY It was a beautiful morning as I rolled out of Cañon City. I really couldn’t wait to get out of the room I stayed in last night. I went and ate at the McDonalds up the street – the same as I had done two years ago with my roommate, Scott Olson, when […]
