Century for the Cure - Finito
I can't believe it's been almost three weeks since we did this bike ride. First, of course, I want to thank everyone who donated money to the Cancer Institute of New Jersey on our behalf. As a team (to date),...
Who The Flip Thought of This!
Today's ride. Up and Down Sourland Mountain 4 Times! Okay - it was me. What was I thinking! Took a very long time (I held everyone up because I'm real slow on the hills) but other than Montgomery Road (unpaved...
Today's Ride
I went for a bike ride this morning with Chris and our friend Marty. There's nothing out of the ordinary with that fact. I've been riding pretty regularly since my last surgery. What was out of the ordinary for today's...
Le Tour
I have over 40 videos I took today but I wanted to get this one uploaded quickly. Our view of the Tour....
This Morning's Ride
This morning Chris and I went for a bike ride. We rode past Lahaina for a few miles, and then turned up towards the mountains. Rumor had it that after a climb (911 feet), there's a path that runs...
Covered Bridges
I got a lot of comments on last week's Photo Theme, Bridges , as I posted a picture of Emily's Bridge just outside Stowe Vermont. Most wondered as to the origins and locations of covered bridges so I thought I'd...
Pumpkin Patch Century
Pumpkin Patch Century 2008 Share your bike routes @ Bikely.com Last year, when I did my first century, it seemed like such a big deal. I had a training plan that I executed pretty well, butterflies in my stomach...
Why I Ride/Hike
Brad commented a few days ago that our trip with all the hard rides, and sliding down mountains doesn't sound like much of vacation and he wondered why I do it. There are a few reasons, but first let me...
Double Ferry Ride
Last year when we came to Vermont, Chris and I scoured www.bikely.com, looking for potential bike rides. We came across the GMBC Double Ferry ride GMBC Double Ferry Ride Share your bike routes @ Bikely.com And we thought that would...
Biker Kills Husband on Highlands Road
It came pretty darn close to that on our ride yesterday. Humbled again and forced off the bike. Though Chris likes to say, it's because we did two hard rides, two days in a row, so we were tired. Whatev,...
A Fledgling Disaster - Not!
Some of you may remember this entry from our last trip to Vermont, I'll Take a Century any Day. It describes the first ride we did in Vermont. Well, this year, we decided to do it again - sort of...
Hiking, Biking and Bears - Not Really
So what do you do when you wake up at 5:00 in the morning and your husband is snoring cheerfully beside you? Get out of bed, turn on the computer and see if your daughter has updated her blog from...
Vermont Itinerary - Sort of
Stowe Pinnacle View With all the commotion over Becky's departure, I totally haven't focused on my own departure Saturday to Vermont! Chris has really stepped up and done a bunch of planning (in regards to hikes and bike rides)...
Potential Bike Rides
When we head up to Vermont next month, we're hoping to do three or four bike rides over the course of the week. One we know we'll do is a repeat of the first ride from last summer's vacation, the...
Team Riemann
Okay - first let me give props to the people who deserve it by saying, it is so much easier to do a triathlon as a team than it is as an individual. So to all those people who I...
Are We in Vermont?
See that? That's the chart of the hills we climbed when we rode our bikes into the Sourlands of NJ on Saturday. Oh, yeah, a nice 50 mile ride up and down some flippin' big hills! Who knew we...
Bike Training Begins Again ... and Guilt Along With It
So I've been languishing these past few months. Watching the scale slow creep up and my bike gather a bit of dust in the corner of the bedroom (I moved it indoors when the cold, wet weather hit, though yesterday...
Bike Ride From Hell
The next time someone from Vermont tells you that a bike ride has rolling hills, don't believe them! Those hills are mountains to you and me. So yesterday was our 1/2 Century Ride that we were doing through the Mad...
I'll Take a Century Any Day
Yesterday morning Chris and I went for our first Vermont bike ride. We had decided to do the Stowe City Weekend ride first published by the Green Mountain Bike Club. We found the route on bikely.com, which lists maps and...
Packing List Part 1
Yes, it's everybody's favorite time, time where I divulge the intrictate secrets of my packing list! Yes, feel free to skip this entry, but I like having a place where I can reference what I took on previous trips and...
Cool Store in Stowe
Chris found this cool looking store in Stowe: Col d'Lizard. I think we'll have to pop in for a visit. Maybe they can make our custom bike shirts, the ones with the pig on them that say, "I break for...
105.75 in 94
Well, yesterday was the day. I had trained well, since January really, when I did the Cooking Light Personal Coach for Cycling which was supposed to get you ready for a 25-mile ride. Most of the work for this I...
Strangers on some Bikes
Yesterday I met Neil from the Bike Forums for a ride along the D&R Canal Tow Path. It's a great stretch of compacted dirt (so I thought) and shaded trees, that runs along the canal from New Brunswick to Trenton....
Stowe Bike Club
Well, doing a Google search on Vermont Bike Clubs turned up this: Stowe Bike Club. Which is good because I'm hoping it will be a resource for us in planning some biking routes for our trip. We're hoping to do...
Chris Saved a Life Today
Today we woke at 5:40 to do our long ride. We had to be back by 9:45 to drive Becky to school for drama rehearsal, thus the early morning start. Yet again, I meant to bring a camera and forgot...
Why Did The Pedestrian Walk on the Wrong Side of The Road
To get hit by the gal on the bike! Okay - I haven't hit a pedestrian ... yet. But riding on the boulevard on LBI (Long Beach Island) it's only a matter of time. Wasn't everyone taught as a child,...
Ying and Yang
I need to take a camera with me when I ride. Sometimes you see something that just captures you. Sometimes it's the juxtaposition of the things you see....
Yes, I Know It's Been a While
Okay - I admit it, originally I was going to blog all about my weight loss/getting fit experiences. And I admit, I've been incredibly lax about doing this (you see that picture next to procrastination in the dictionary? Well that's...
