Wife & I hit the local rail-trail yesterday for a 25 mile out & back. Fort Hill to Rockwood - Great Allegheny Passage. Tune-up for riding sweep next Sat. for a Salvation Army benefit.
Tandems are cool. We saw another tandem w/train & a triple w/train. Glad my kid (love her dearly) is out of the house!

MTB ride on the Kingdom Trails in East Burke, VT. The trails on the mtn are now open so I parked at The Pub Outback in East Burke Village. Rode the road to the base lodge (378' vert). From there assended single track to the top of the high speed quad and traversed to the mid lodge (541' vert) then assended some more single track to the top of Owls Peak (325' vert). Decended mostly single track back to the base lodge and road back to the Pub. Total vert climbed = 1244' over 3.75 miles. Overall solid conditions (not too wet, not too dry). The decent was the opposite to the numbers above.

Holy chit! The miles and veritical some of you guys are already logging are great, hats off to you!

HA! I finally took out my bike and rode around yesterday! This is the first time its been used this year for anything other than calibration/checking to see if it survived storage!

Biked around Mine falls In Nashua for about an hour. Lots of people out, what a nice park. Found a nice bike route to the supermarket too (yay!)

Felt really good to ride again! Nashua is a bit easier to bike around than at first glance it may seem!

MarcHowes- you a roadie or mtn biker?

MarcHowes · May 30, 2007, 11:44 AM

I have a mountain bike, it sounds like a swarm of bees on the pavement

90% of the time I bike on pavement, usually rail trails or biking back to my car after a hiking traverse.

My bike handles poorly on trails (like root/rock filled trails) so I don't venture onto those much

seems half the time I do the front gear cogs get slammed/bent! grrr!

I only ask cause once and a while I make it down your way for road biking

MarcHowes · May 31, 2007, 8:09 AM

Ya saw you were up in Manchvegas and figured as much

28 miles 16.2 mph with about 2500' of climbing on the road today. Absolutely perfect morning for a ride here in Westchester County.

i prefer the term manch-angeles, I think it has a much better ring to it.

Did another 26milers yesterday. I normally meet up with GSW however cause of my late start I dont know if I can handle the 40+ mile group ride yet
