NEW PARIS, PENNSYLVANIA A relatively short ride, just 21 miles, but so darn pretty. I was on my way home from Somerset to Virginia and wanted to get in a ride. Any ride. My go-to covered bridge ride in Bedford County is an eight bridge loop but I didn’t have time for that. So I […]
A nifty eight covered bridges over just 43 miles in Bedford Co., Pa.
SHELLSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA It was a perfect day for riding – perhaps a little cool at 70 degrees and a cloud cover which would soon burn off. I parked at Shawnee State Park and thought I would ride a clockwise direction. As I exited the park I decided I would ride counter-clockwise, mainly to see most […]
In a ride out of Bedford, Pa., a young couple stripped down naked and jumped into a lake right in front of this surprised cyclist.

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 […]

I was eating breakfast with my parents when Aaron Hoxworth texted me and told me they were already wheels down and headed […]

I drove to Bedford then biked on US 30 to Breezewood. I did this, in part, to see if it was scarier than hell. It wasn’t although […]
I rode from Friedens to Bedford then back to Ligonier shepherding a cancer ride
BREEZEWOOD, PENNSYLVANIA Since last year I have been intrigued by the route the 4K for Cancer Team Portland took from Waynesboro, Pa. to Breezewood. Before this year’s departure I contacted Team Portland and suggested I could help. They believed me. I designed a ride that would keep them off US Rte 30 and got them […]
I volunteered to work the Tour of Pennsylvania as a course marshal
