Meg and I once again completed our longest self-supported bike tour yet: seven days of dirt roads, singletrack, surprisingly nice Vermont corner stores, and Heady Topper. I'm dividing this journey into seven posts, one for each day. This is day 2. If you somehow missed my post for day 1, check it out here: Day 1...
Meg and I once again completed our longest self-supported bike tour yet: seven days of dirt roads, singletrack, surprisingly nice Vermont corner stores, and Heady Topper. I'm dividing this journey into seven posts, one for each day. Through the power of internet magic, I'm posting all seven links at the top of this...
Meg and I just completed our longest self-supported bike tour yet: three days of dirt roads, singletrack, surprisingly nice Vermont corner stores, and Heady Topper. It was a lot of work, but such an incredible way to see small towns and forests across Vermont. There's so much out there that we've missed every time...
... silly fun. But honestly it is a slightly ridiculous use case for a bicycle. Settling Down Slowly but surely, we're getting used to New Hampshire. It's a big change from life in Denver and NYC, but life up here in the mountains has a lot of appeal when you basically just want to ride bikes all day and...
We moved to New Hampshire! In just a few days, Meg and I completed our longest move yet: Denver, Colorado to Littleton, New Hampshire. It was a long, tough journey. But we had a good time overall, and nothing went wrong. Special thanks to Meg's dad, Craig, for flying across the country to help us pack the truck......
Meg and I are moving to New Hampshire in just a couple of weeks. We decided to say farewell (for now) to Colorado the best way we could imagine: celebrating two birthdays in our favorite mountain town, Leadville two days of the best skiing Colorado can offer (that isn't totally insane for visiting friends from low...
For the last week, Meg and I took a week off to appreciate Colorado on weekdays. It seems like everybody loves doing the same outdoor stuff in the mountains here, so taking a few days off to avoid the weekend crowds makes a massive difference in actually enjoying the state. We had quite the adventure. Day 1:...
Meg and I returned to day touring this weekend with a jam-packed exploration of Fort Collins, Colorado: the land of bike lanes, howling cows, and horse teeth. Why such a long gap since our last post? Well, over the last couple of months, we: attended a wedding drove 25 hours from Buffalo to Denver... without...
This weekend, Meg and I headed out to the Finger Lakes for a biking day trip to New York State's only national forest: Finger Lakes National Forest. In this post, you'll find out about: where to find the best a la carte cucumbers and pickled eggs in New York how hilly it is in the Finger Lakes (hint: there's more...
The last few weeks and weekends have been busy. We: travelled from Colorado to Virginia to visit family subsequently headed up to Central New York to visit even more family visited Northern New York to visit yet more family completed a number of bike rides on the nice, flat, sometimes humid Erie Canal Trail in New...
This week, we took it easy since the whole state is full of smoke from bootleg fires on the west coast. Instead of doing a weekend in the mountains, we just took a small trip on Sunday on some trails in a nearby town. Broomfield Open Space Broomfield contains a ridiculous number of intersecting trails, so we...
This trip took myself, Meg, and two friends on an adventure around Colorado on the week of America's birthday, July 4th. We (mostly) summitted the highest peak in Colorad, paddleboarded, camped quite a lot, and summitted another peak (or set of two peaks) that was honestly more interesting and more impressive than...
