Hey guys welcome back to the blog. Today we had something crazy planned for you guys so basically let me give you some back story. We met in Bryant Park in NYC at 8 am. We then caught a train from Grand Central Station that took us all the way to New Haven, Connecticut. We […]
We got up early for a ferry ride to Boston that rocked us all to sleep. In Boston, we walked to historic Quincy Market to watch a street performance, glad to be back in civilization but missing the quiet of the woods already. We went out for Chinese food and walked to Boston Commons for […]
This morning we were grateful for toasters and not having to pack up camp, giving us a much needed relaxin start to the day. Fueled by bagels, we headed off on a wonderful dune hike. We climbed, slid, jumped and rolled to the sea, eventually emerging with sand in every orifice. We ate sandwiches in […]
Provincetown at last!! We are officially finished with tour biking!! We all whooped and cheered as we passed the “now entering Provincetown” sign, pausing to congratulate one another. We had some ice cream and wandered around the town, looking into shops and galleries while our clothes were getting cleaned. Back at the campsite we were […]
We got up early, jumped in the pond, and set off speeding south to Chatham on a 16 mile wooded bike path, grateful to have our gear stored at the campground. We kayaked into a blustery wind on the edge of the ocean and got a seafood feast for kings. A warm rain kicked in […]
We rose soon after the sun today, allowing for maximal time in the beautiful weather. We’d finished most of our 33 mile day by noon, when we pulled up to a public beach for lunch. There we were blessed by the cashier giving Spike (Zubin) three extra ice cream sandwiches. From the beach we stopped […]
Today we woke up at Forge Pond Campground, and biked 40 miles onto Cape Cod! Along the way we each wrote a rap verse about our biker/boy scout selves (the joke has persisted long since the boy scout campground). Once we reached our campsite at Shawm Crowell, we split into teams of two to eat […]
Our good luck with the weather caught up with us today as we huddled in a single hotel room to watch a movie and wait out a down pour. By 2pm, checkout time, there was no let up, despite the forecast, so we rolled on into the bitter cold biting drizzle. A mixed day of […]
After a luxurious hotel breakfast, we walked over to the RISD art museum and spent a few hours in awe. Then we explored a used book store. We got ice cream and played capture the flag in massive, beautiful Roger Williams Park, switching bikes on the ride home to ‘walk (bike) some miles in our […]
The sun was a perfect red orb rising through the haze over the Connecticut River as we swiftly packed our gear and glided down the final miles till Providence through country hills, strip malls, and, finally the city. We got directions from some nice urbanites who were inspired by our journey. The Hampton Inn, our […]
