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, Charleston Part Three
June 8-10 Refreshed from our mid tour beverage break, we walked back to the corner of Broad and Meeting to start tour number two. The afternoon was moving along and fortunately for us, many of the places listed on the second tour had also been on the first, enabling us to significantly shorten the experience. […]
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 […]
Outer Banks and More, Bodie Island Part Two
June 3-7 Not sure of how much we would cover that first full day, we set out before noon heading north towards the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Not far from camp we passed the turn off for the Bodie Island Lighthouse, but elected to hit it another day. The Memorial is almost seventeen miles straight […]
Outer Banks and More, Bodie Island Part One
June 3-7 After sending Carolyn off to Birmingham with a nice breakfast, chores and errands to accomplish Monday morning kept us from hitting the road for Blacksburg until early afternoon. It took us just about four hours to make the drive and we arrived on campus at Virginia Tech to pick up my registration packet […]
Outer Banks and More, Blacksburg
May 30 – June 14 Elements of this trip kept changing as we got closer to taking off, and we would continue to make plans on the fly as we went, much as we did in Europe last year. The impetus for it was a facilities management conference sponsored by ACUI and APPA at Virginia […]
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 […]
