Exactly The Same . Just Different
Play the music while your reading if you wish.
I have a few bike blogging friends who have been riding in the snow for a couple of weeks. I read their stories and shake my head thinking, I’m too old for that and really don’t feel like riding in snow. I tell people that I might if it snowed, but didn’t really mean it.

We Have A Team For The 5 Boroughs
I have a pretty big network of bike riding friends, both locally, in Southern New England, and not so local, like Seattle, WA, Portland OR , Toronto and Panama City, Panama. Locally, I’m trying my darndest to get the locals to expand their sense of adventure and do something different besides the same old rides, weekend after weekend, year after year. One of those adventures is the NYC Five Boroughs Bike Tour. Continue reading “We Have A Team For The 5 Boroughs”

People from around the world post their bike adventures that ranged from the week long ride along the Erie Canal to the multi year bike ride around the world. Crazy guy had a build in audience that gave the riders the motivation to keep their journal up to date to satisfy their fans. It’s where I caught the bug by following the journal of a 25 year old NYC kid riding his bike across America solo.
