To celebrate Labor Day, we traveled nearly as far East as you can go in the USA, all the way to the coast of Maine: Isle au Haut in Acadia National Park. Our day began early, with a 3 AM alarm clock. In the darkness, we showered, forced down some banana & peanut butter bread, and obsessed over our last packing...

Our final day of the bike trip took us across two states, and ended with mild disappointment. In retrospect, we'll call the Late Summer VT Bikepacking a success, but the Later Summer NH Rail Trail Riding an abject failure. Our final day of riding began around 7, despite our early bedtime. We rose to a crisp 50ish...

Our third day of bikepacking took us from Stowe to Montpelier -- not far, as the crow flies, but with many lovely dirt road diversions and several good eateries along the way. Our penultimate day began with a lazy start, lounging around in our luxurious (for us) indoor sleeping space. But we eventually dragged...

We awoke to a glittering kaleidoscope of dew, spiderwebs, and the intermittent crow of a rooster that simply did not understand the concept no time constraint of 'sunrise'. Camp teardown went smoothly, we enjoyed a quick cereal bar snack, brushed our teeth, refilled our water, and headed South towards our real...

This year, we decided to move our typical fall foliage bike tour up to late summer, to better enjoy some perfect weather, swimming holes, and sun. Because New Hampshire's bicycle infrastructure is woefully inferior to Vermont's (more on that later in this series), we decided to start in the nearest Vermont...

2025: what a year! So much happened, it's hard to keep track of. So here's a big collection of photos from my year. Our year began in Littleton, New Hampshire. Well, actually no -- our year began around the pellet stove at Meg's parents' house in Chittenango, New York. But our home was in Littleton, so at least we...

We are idiots. But maybe we're slowly getting better. Earlier this year, we moved to New York City. I wanted to try working in an office again. Both of us yearned for walkability, bikeability, more restaurants, more culture, easy access to music venues, and public transit. NYC is one of very few places in the USA...

This weekend, we biked about 30 miles around Brooklyn, Queens, and (technically) Manhattan in honor of my 30th birthday. We began with a ride around Governor's Island: statue of liberty from governor's island meg of liberty from governor's island? you might be tricked into thinking you're in brooklyn Stopped for a...

For this year's bike tour, Meg and I rode our ATBs from Littleton, New Hampshire, in a loop around Vermont, and back to New Hampshire. Along the way, we checked out some new spots, and visited some old favourites. We connected it all with a collection of class 4 roads, singletrack, dirt roads, and -- occasional --...
