I led yesterday’s club ride . . .
. . . on the Delaware & Hudson Rail Trail from Granville NY south to Rupert, VT, and it was a beautiful day to start as 14 of us set off from the railroad station in Granville. I was joined by Paceliners DJG21 and Broccolicog–and perhaps others who were in Stealth mode? The old railroad grade slopes up ever so slightly (1-2%) as we went south upstream along the shore of the Indian River, then downstream along White Creek to West Rupert, where we turned around at the New York border. Vermont has invested some funds into their portion of the trail and it’s quite nicely graveled, but the NY portions at Granville and south of Rupert are not so nice. Then we stopped at Sherman’s Store for drinks, food, bathroom, and just general rest stopping before we headed back north on the slight downgrade back to Granville, where some of us then adjourned to the Common Roots Brewery in South Glans Falls for some well-deserved post-ride recovery food and drink. A great day! (Photos with Panasonic Lumix ZS200D and selfie with iPhone 13 Pro.)

Bumblebee Dave,
Thanks for great pictures of great rides. Although my wife and I have been in Virginia for over 30 years and north-central PA before that, I grew up in a little town at the northern tip of the Adirondack Park: Keeseville, NY - right on Lake Champlain. My wife grew up across the lake in, and near, Burlington, VT. We got married in Burlington in 1980. Wow, almost 44 years ago! When I was a kid of maybe 9 or 10 years old, my dad was a union carpenter and had a construction job near North Creek. He went down for a week at a time and came home on weekends. I went with him for a week during the summer, and I can vaguely remember the creek, and crawdads. Since I am now 71, that would have been a little over 60 years ago - wow! I will be posting here again in about a month. 4 weeks ago, I fell in the middle of the night, while going to the bathroom still mostly asleep from an OTC sleep supplement, and broke 6 ribs - 2 of the 6 were broken in 2 places for 8 fractures. In the back, left, rib # 4,5,6,7,8,9 were all broken in a line, then 5, and 6 were broken again around front. Pure torture for the 1st week, but getting better now. Needless to say, I don't take that supplement any more. Thanks for the great posts! (another) Dave Last edited by dcama5; Today at 04:15 PM. |

Today I took out the newly built up Sancineto for a 30 mile shakedown ride while taking pictures throughout the valley. Great morning on a wonderful feeling bike.

James, I hope the riding is good in the Cache Valley. Our daughter left Logan for Houston, so no more visits for me. She was doing a 2-year post-doc research position at Utah State in Logan but is now on faculty at UH. I loved Logan when I visited. Thanks for the great pics of perfectly set up bikes, all too small for me, but oh well! I have never heard of Sancineto, but you have it built up perfectly. Thanks for the great photo shoots and ride pics, Dave Last edited by dcama5; Today at 04:30 PM. |

Summer creeps slowly to northern Michigan.
A nice fifty miler today in 66 degree warmth. I've included a map to help you with our definition of up north. This does not include the YouPee. That's different. |

Spent some time in the Travers City area before cancer. Also was at my nephews wedding on Mackinaw Island. Great area. Love it.
