Biking --- 6/23/2018 - 6/30/2018 --- CT, MA, VT

New England tour. Hiking, biking, and cards with Mom and Dad. Then a quick visit with Marissa and Annie's new kiddo. Climbing with Zupes at Farley. Off to Pittsfield where Zupes and I rode the Green Mountain Trails and the Rochester trail. After that we went to Kingdom and rode all day long. Rain the next day meant we got to rest! I drove to Burlington, met up with Carolyn, and we had dinner with Anna. The next day we went climbing at Bolton (Hush, Mamma Thrush and Harvest Moon) and watched movies. My final day of the trip was with Anna and Mel. We went bouldering at Smuggler's Notch (Primate, Biscuit, Pac-Man, Skirt Roof) and swimming in a creek on the way back to Williston.

Phew!

Double black? With an injured wrist? That can't be a good idea. (Category:  Biking)

Double black? With an injured wrist? That can't be a good idea. Or am I trying to even out by injuring the other wrist.    Kingdom Trails -- 6/27/2018

THIS GUY GAVE US TWO FREE PINTS OF BEN AND JERRY'S ICE CREAM!!!! Which is quite possibly the best thing that has happened to me since I got three free pints of Haagen-Dazs in the Tetons.    Bolton, VT -- 6/29/2018

Biscuit was my one success, and I skipped the hard move by being tall. (Category:  Biking)

Biscuit was my one success, and I skipped the hard move by being tall. Though Pac-Man is really hard for tall people (at least I think it is) so it all evens out in the end.    Smugs, VT -- 6/30/2018
