Riding With A Prince On The East Bay Bike Path

Our old pal Steve Prince called this ride. Four of us showed on a day with mild temperatures, sunshine and just a wisp of a wind.

Cafe Ride on the East Bay Bike Path.

Borealis Coffee Co.

When: Saturday March, 20

Time: 9:45 for a 10:00 AM wheels up

Where: Meet at EBBP parking lot behind University Orthopedic (1 Kettle Point Ave. Providence

The new meeting place, eliminates that last big climb to the parking lot across from the golf course. Consider the location a reprise for those out of condition riders.

The ride will be around 20 miles at a casual pace. 10 MPH more of less. We will detour off the path into Colt State Park, which is our turn around point. A stop at Borealis Coffee Co. close to the end of the ride for those who want to linger a while. It’s roughly a half mile from the end.

Because it’s a straight shot bike path, those who want to ride faster are welcome to do so.

Falmouth To Wood’s Hole MA.

The Shining Sea Bikeway a 10 mile rail to trail conversion on scenic Cape Cod. Because of the mild weather, I expected more traffic of bike and walkers that I encountered. I do have to say however, that every time I was about to cross paths with someone, we would both don our masks. It’s so nice to live in an area where everyone respects the science, and to know that the light at the end of the tunnel is becoming very bright. We are going to be over this pandemic soon, as long as we keep doing the right things.

Austin Driveway Series Bike Racing+

  • Riding with the pros
  • At the Stoop

Brandon, #3 son is captain of Tilt racing in Austin, TX. When I plan a visit, I always make it a point to go during the Driveway Series racing season. Often, I meet up with some of the pro racers at Mello Johnny’s bike and coffee shop downtown. After a cup and a chat, we ride to the race. It’s always a hoot to see how these guys and gals transform from fun happy go lucky bike riders to cutthroat, intense racing machines. Then on the ride back, stop at a local convenience store, buy a lot of beer and and become happy go lucky again.
