Camper Longflap and Surly CrossCheck, fixed, with recent additions of 2 rings up front and a dingle cog on the rear.
The Camper Long Flap after a run to the CSA pick up, drop off posters for the Cycle Celebrate Champlain, grocery store, dinner, bike shop, and mail. Room for more.
Modified from last year - a bit of dirt and some new roads.
Sleep, then 200 miles through the ADKs from BTV to New Hartford, NY. The wife and little one will be waiting.
A bit less climbing than last year - according to the machine - but we'll see how the real world compares.
Finally finished the poster!
A view to Camel's Hump and Mt. Mansfield.
The 300k ride I started organizing this spring has morphed into a century, 200k, and 300k. Check out the information page I just finished for the Cycle and Celebrate Champlain ride – a unique event that circles the northern part of our great lake. If you are local – come on out and ride – if you read this from out of town – come to the Champlain Valley and enjoy some fine and scenic cycling!
Preliminary 300k route...
Heading for the Roscoe Bridge.
Three of the usual suspects got some mixed riding in this Sunday. An absolutely stunning day after weeks of rain and gray – blue skies, mild temps, and the dirt is in fine condition. I logged ~52 with a ride to the start. Patrick bailed 30 miles in as his IT and knee are still giving him trouble from his recent 600k. Part of our route is on the upcoming Celebrate Champlain rides – a century, 200k and 300k that I am organizing for the Quad festivities here in Burlington.
