This is what we found on Curve St. in Carlisle: It was huge.

Wow.. that's a snapping turtle isn't it... those guys bite

[Crankin]

Yeah, that's why we did not attempt to pick it up and move it back to the grass.

My favorite is me in the tree, was the route to a perfect campsite, over one tree and under another, piece of cake

Luv the tree


Crankin, thinking I can outride a turtle, snapping or not BUT I don’t know about a charging bull

There is a bike path that's mostly on the beach here. I use it in the mornings at times to wake up on and sometimes to have an early breakfast with a friend in Manhattan Beach. Sometimes to de-stress after work. This ride is 12 miles south on the beach path to some residential climbing in Palos Verdes. 40 to 50+ miles depending on how much climbing I want to do

This year's adventure was a supported tour (as in, my husband drove our stuff from place to place, then rode out to meet us on the trail) in upstate New York. We started in Fairport and rode along the Erie Canal to Brockport on day 1; then took a combination of counrty roads, bike paths and the Erie Canal to Grand Island on day 2; on day 3, we rode to Niagara Falls and did all the touristy things; day 4 took us up into Canada to St. Catherine's along the Welland Canal; day 5 was back to the US over the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge for a stop at Ft. Niagara; and then along Lake Ontario to Hamlin Beach State Park on day 6; day 7 was suppose to be ride back to Fairport, but it was pouring, so we wimped out :-( and took to sag wagon back to the cars.
