There was a reason we hadn't yet discovered the Delaware and Hudson
The start of the 50-miler for Roll Over Cancer. Great cause, and a great way to earn a brew. In my case, a Cheeky Monkey.

I ride mountain, road and gravel bikes in the rugged country surrounding my home in Roanoke, Va. Photography, video editing, writing, and social media are sources of enjoyment for me, so this blog is really a guilty pleasure. According to Strava (and most group rides!) I'm an intermediate cyclist. My bikes include a 1996 Waterford steel road bike. Off road, it's a Cannondale Trigger 3. My Gravel bike is a Fuji Jari. Like most of you, I'm always dreaming about the next bike to join the stable. So many bikes, so little time.
