Somehow during the last four days, I was not able to find any time for the bike. Today I had a list of errands to do around town, so I jumped on the DB and headed out. I really do love the looks I get when I roll up to the packie (aka package or [...]
Some more shots from today’s ride:
The flower on top is a Bloodroot and the one on the bottom is a Trillium. I looked for a really long time to find a wildflower guidebook that was decent. I have no clue about wildflowers, and turning page after page trying to find a match in most books [...]
I couldn’t have asked for a better day to explore a new loop at Mt. Toby. The trails were dry, except for a few spots were the spring runoff was still active. I also ended up with my usual assortment of nicks and scrapes. There was a little hike-a-bike, but most of the time was [...]
I mentioned it would be about six weeks before the daffodils popped up, and they were right on time. I don’t know how they survive in 88˚ temps, I barely do. Yes, that’s what the thermometer was reading when I left the house for the library. Ok I have to admit, I was a little [...]

So, my parents went out and bought two brand new bikes. It was my dad’s idea, he’s been busy on a stationary all winter at the gym and enjoyed it so much he wanted to get a “real” bike. He hasn’t been on a bike since he was 12, so I really have to hand [...]
Events along the way today while riding my bike:
1.) I was chased by a daschund. I would have taken pictures because I think it was fairly hysterical but that little thing sounded scary and could move!
2.) I accidently spooked a herd of grazing horses. They were wearing head gear covering their eyes-from a distance it [...]
I mentioned in one of my recent ride posts that I would be adding elevation info to my ride stats. According to the LIVESTRONG Philly site, the course is going to involve some climbing. Borrowed directly from their site:
“Overall, the course distances for the Philly Challenge encompass moderate to difficult terrain with steep climbs.”
Karen did [...]
I have seen a lot of signs around Northfield, MA stating “Save the Schell”. I was able to find out bits and pieces of the bridge’s history, but didn’t even know where it was located in town. I found it on my bike ride yesterday. I came across the path in the top photo, and [...]
The General would so not let me have one
An important landmark in Guilford, VT.
Somewhere in Northfield, MA.
Heather, again.
