Carlito's Way

  Oct 20, 2024

Ann & I rode to Woodbury expecting Ovens of France to be open but it was not so we headed across the street to Carlito's for an early lunch.

First e-Bike Commute

  Oct 18, 2024

I picked the perfect morning for my first commute to work on the Wabash. Since Ann was coming down this weekend I decided to ride on a Friday.  It was chilly but there wasn't a cloud in the sky and I took the most direct route to the office to see how fast it would be, which took me along the Saugatuck Reservoir and down into the Fred Zone. I didn't see any other cyclists so technically it was a Ghost Ride but since I was on an e-Bike, does it really count?

Evening E-Bike Ride and the Comet

 Oct 16, 2024

Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, also known as the Great Comet of 2024 and formally designated as C/2023 A3, is a non-periodic comet from the Oort cloud discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory in China on 9 January 2023 and independently found by ATLAS South Africa on 22 February 2023. The comet passed perihelion at a distance of 0.39 AU (58 million km; 36 million mi) on 27 September 2024, when it became visible to the naked eye. Tsuchinshan–ATLAS peaked at its brightest magnitude on 9 October, shortly after passing the Sun, with an apparent magnitude of −4.9 per reported observations at the Comet Observation Database (COBS), making it the brightest comet observed in the Northern Hemisphere since Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997.

Rutland Fall Foliage Ride

 Oct 13, 2024

Ann & I headed south today on a quasi recovery ride after yesterday's ride out to South Hero Island. Fall foliage was in full swing this weekend. In the picture above you can see Pico Mountain on the left and Killington Mountain on the right. This is Ann's first road ride in Rutland and my second.  I wanted to explore the roads south of Rutland towards Clarendon and Wallingford.

Last day of 2024 for the Killington Downhill Mountain Biking Season and it was cold!
