Tinmouth Roubaix

Nov 27, 2024

I headed back to Rutland, early on Wednesday, because we had two cars at Ann's hotel and I wanted to ride some more dirt roads in Rutland. I had a half day at work so I rode up to Quarterline Road again and this time decided to ride the dirt roads south of here in a place called Tinmouth, pronounced Tin-mith.

Landmark Trails at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center

Since it was the week of Thanksgiving it was a work from home week so I brought Special-Ed with me to Leb and at lunch time on Monday went for a mountain bike ride.

Police Academy Roubaix

 Nov 24, 2024

It was fortunate for Ann & I to be late to the slopes this morning because there was an electrical issue at the top of North Ridge and the mountain was closed so we headed back to Rutland and I hopped on the bike to ride some dirt roads out in Pittsford.

Après Ski - 3 Buick Roubaix

Nov 16, 2024

Ann had a meeting with her accountant Saturday afternoon so I headed out on the bike to ride some gravel between Rutland and Castleton Vermont. I had been looking at all the gravel roads in the area and have been planning some rides. This one in particular was going to be climby.

Opening Day at the Beast

Ace is the Place Roubaix

 Nov 11, 2024

I needed something at the Hardware Store and since I only got a file mile ride in earlier today I took the Surly out on an errand. There was fresh popcorn, too, so that made it all the better.

Mt Philo in the Rain

 Nov 11, 2024

Ann & I drove her daughter back to UVM on Veteran's Day and brought our bikes.  We were hoping the rain would have subsided by the time we started our ride but we had no such luck. All the hills and mountains in this area fascinate me and Mt Philo stands out in particular when we drive by.

 Nov 9, 2024

Ann and I rode with her Daughters from Switchback Brewing to Pingala Vegan Restaurant in North Burlington. The girls rode their mountain bikes while and I were on our gravel bikes.

Metric Round Trip Commute

Nov 5, 2024 

New cockpit set up on the Wabash.  I put one of my Cannondale Casey Handlebar Bags on the front of the bike and went to a fork mounted headlight to replace the Magic Shine light that didn't live up to it's specs.  

Castleton Roubaix

 Nov 3, 2024

Ann & I headed over to Castleton this morning and rode down the rail trail and after the the School rode South Street to Staso Road, which turns to dirt a lot earlier than what RWGPS shows. 

Sherburne Trails

 November 2, 2024

Ann & I tried some more single track today, this time at the Sherburne Trail system in Killington. It's not as buff as Pine Hill Park but the trails have been built with an eye for sustainability. They, like PHP, have followed the same script using the IMBA Trail Building Book as their guide.
