Finding Radiance

Yes, I think I can make a new verb called ‘bageling.’ That is the act of going to and having a bagel!  As per usual on Wednesday mornings.  Yesterday’s rain made it a very foggy morning for riding. I don’t love riding in the fog becuase I don’t trust drivers very much (which is a [...]

Happy Bagel Day!  I ended up not posting yesterday because it would have just been boring food. I have decided if I don’t have anything to say other than what I eat, I don’t have to post. John is feeling better, but still has an icky cough.  He was up for riding to breakfast to [...]

Katie had mentioned in a comment about what was proper etiquette for multiuse trails and paths.  This is separate from riding/walking in the streets.  Too many times, people get on a path and just do whatever they want, not realizing there are rules you should follow to prevent inconveniencing others or worse, causing an accident.  [...]

Finished!  My summer goal complete.  No peloton, no lead out train, just me in my own private break away doing 100 miles. Let’s ride, shall we?  I was up early to get an early start on the ride.  I did my standard fuel of banana custard oats with jam and coconut butter. What a pretty [...]

51 miles – sure doesn’t look like 75 does it? The day started pretty well.  I made some sourdough buckwheat pancakes to start the day.  Yes – piled high!  Went for the extra pancake to fuel up for a lot of miles. Topped with sauteed apples. Why yes, it was tasty! I was ready for [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!  We had another very full weekend. Saturday was bike day for John and I.  We went to a completely different place this time.  Basically straight north.  I always talk about Lake George, but we also are close to Lake Champlain and the Champlain canal, which is the route we went along: We [...]

Saturday was just a stunner of a day.  Even though it was 30 degrees and frost when we got up, we knew the high was going to get up into the upper 50s.  That is biking weather, people!  We unhooked the bikes from the trainers and got them down the stairs. It was time for [...]

Lovely sunny morning to bike to bagels.  Too bad we didn’t quite make it!  We took a chance at not having a tire changing kit and wouldn’t you know it, John got a nail stuck in his tire and it went flat.  He hasn’t even had his bike for 24 hours!  This was about 3.5 [...]

Biking is such a great activity that burns calories, gets you fit, and takes you places! I think there are 2 main reasons that people don’t continue with biking once they start.  One is that they buy the wrong bike, and the other is seat comfort. When you are looking to buy a bike, ask [...]

This post is going to be filled with stuff, so be forewarned! We woke up and decided to bike to Panera this morning.  Doesn’t it seem like my butt is planted on the bike permanently? Blueberry bagel.  Yum! John wanted to get a shot of me noshing, so here it is. Nomf!! We took it [...]
