Bloomin’ Metric Cycling Date

Activity date: May 19, 2024

I convinced Ann to ride the Bloomin’ Metric with me. This would be Ann’s longest ride to date with me and the first time in14 years I am not riding with my father. 

6th Cycling Date

 Original Date: March 31st, 2024

On a crisp spring Sunday, Ann and I took a drive up into Litchfield County to ride around Lake Waramaug. A much flatter ride than our first gravel ride that included some hills. We are still together!

President’s Day at PHP

Snow Dog, PHP’s grooming machine got an upgrade - it now pulls the driver on a metal sled which is heavier and compacts the groom even more. That was evident today. Just about everything I rode on was perfect. 

Be my Fat Valentine

 

It has been over a month since I last rode at Pine Hill. Last weekend, I brought my son up to Killington to go skiing for three days and I could have went Monday because he was too sore to ski after 14 runs on Sunday. Went equipment shopping instead and I bought him a new pair of boots and rented skis for the rest of the season. Ann was riding on the trainer today so I headed out to Pine Hill.

Fat Bike on the MINI

 

My fat bike is almost as big as the car!

I decided to try the Thule ProRide Fat Bike Adapter for my car, again. Back in ‘19, when I first got the MINI, I put Fat Amy up on the roof racks in the very same manner. I got rid of the roof racks in favor of the MINI Cooper bicycle holder, however, I could never get Fat Amy never to fit/hold onto the rack well. Also, I don’t like using the rack in the winter time due to all the salt spray that accumulates on the back of the car.
