Virginia Creeper Trail
September 4-7, 2015 The invite came via email from Chris, the organizer, in early spring. The 10th annual Virginia Creeper Trail Campout and Bike ride was to be scheduled sometime that summer. We’d joined this group a few years back and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Emails traded hands and before too long Labor Day […]
Lake Norman Campout, Part One
August 28-30 Sarah and Hans, our spring camping partners at Pilot Mountain let us know they would be camping at Lake Norman State Park with their two girls, Reagan and Quinn, at the end of August and wondered if we’d like to join them. We jumped on the opportunity so Hans went ahead and reserved […]
Swamp Rabbit Trail
June 25 One of our goals for this year, in addition to taking a number of short (one and two week) trips was to spend more weekends camping and to do day trips during the week. One of the types of bike rides we try to seek out are on the groomed paths and trails […]
Outer Banks and More, Fernandina Beach
June 11-14 It took a bit of time navigating on local two lane roads to reach Interstate 95 for our 3 ½ hour drive south to Fernandina Beach. Once on the highway we made good time until we hit multiple sets of driving rainstorms so fierce we, and many others on the road were forced […]
Outer Banks and More, Charleston Part One
June 8-10 The drive to Charleston turned out to be relatively easy, almost all of it on the interstate as we crossed back over Roanoke Island and traveled west on Highway 64 until it intersected with I-95, taking it south to below Columbia in South Carolina, where you pick up I-26 to head due east […]
Outer Banks and More, Bodie Island Part Four
June 3-7 Saturday morning greeted us bright and clear, with a light, cooling breeze helping to keep the temperature down. After a relaxing morning in camp spent reading and taking care of some chores (we use a Verizon Jet Pack to connect our devices and computers to the internet) we hopped on the bikes to […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Six
April 4-17 After the bit or rain we had earlier in the week we caught a break with the weather and saw mostly sunny skies the rest of our time in Austin. As planned for our last day we again set out on the bikes to find a way to the lake. I’d reviewed a […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Five
April 4-17 We met Roberta and Mark at Mellow Johnny’s as planned and spent a bit more time there perusing the stock, particularly the attractive jersey’s and short combinations (kits) offered. Unfortunately like most good bike clothing, they were a bit more than I wanted to spend at that time. I instead opted for a […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Three
April 4-17 Late in the week we’d connected with Dave again and arranged to meet at their place on Saturday to ride our bikes on the north section of the Salado Creek Greenway. We arrived late in the morning and after unloading the bikes from the car took off to ride the few blocks to […]
