Pilot Mountain Campout
April 30 – May 3 One of our goals for the year was to try to do more local camping. We’d discussed doing so with Sarah and Hans and finally an opportunity presented it self, the first weekend of May at Pilot Mountain, a North Carolina State Park. Located about 90 minutes north of Charlotte […]
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 […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Two

ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas
April 4-17 I’d been contemplating attending the annual ACUI Conference in San Antonio since last fall, and after some deliberation and talking with my former boss Jim, decided to give it a go, particularly since neither Joanna or I had spent any time in Texas. We both viewed it as an opportunity to introduce ourselves […]
Europe 2014 – A Summary – Part One
We’ve been back in the States now for a little over a month and have settled into a nice routine that may or may not be the one we pursue in the future. We’re currently on the road, driving to the west coast for the holidays, a trip that will last about six weeks. Throughout […]
Europe 2014 – Amalfi Coast – Like Cinque Terre, But Different
Timeline: October 19th – 20th With just one day to see the area surrounding the Amalfi Coast, we opted to follow the recommendation of the Steve’s guide and use the bus and ferries to ride up and down the coast between Sorrento and Amalfi. We left camp mid morning and walked a mile or so […]
Europe 2014 – Pompeii – Ancient Ruins and Fast Food Joints
Timeline: October 19th – 20th We cleared out of Camping Village Roma early as we had a nearly three-hour drive ahead of us to get to Pompeii and our tour there. The journey went smoothly, driving on the toll roads at a cost of 15 Euros, and we arrived per the GPS in a crowded […]
