There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend

Before heading back down to Connecticut for the weekend Ann & I headed out for a ride to Pittsford and back.  There is a great view of Killington Mountain from West Proctor Road. 

Riding with Bruce

 

Ann invited with her Brother Bruce to ride with us Thursday afternoon.  Due to an early childhood accident and not the best reconstructive surgery, it was the 1970s afterall when he had his bike accident, Bruce rides an e-Bike.  He has ridden with us before but has declined more recent invitations due to poor health. Today, however, he was feeling really good and joined us.

Maple Creemee

Ann & I were on vacation for 10 days and severely jet lagged upon our return so we took an extra day off before starting our daily rides again. Our first day back on the bike, we road down to Wallingford and stopped at Kelly's Snack Shack because I had heard they have really good Creemees.

Getting Fat at PHP

 

It's been a month since I was last at Pine Hill Park and after doing work around Ann's house in the morning, making some adjustments to the bike shed I rode out to PHP and the first thing I noticed was the new sign.

Riding after the Storm

 

Unbeknownst to us, as 4th of July celebrations were kicking off and intense wall of thunderstorms, wind and rain ripped through the area. This part of Connecticut seems to be a magnet for intense weather that results in downed trees, blocked roads, and the power being out for days. We didn't lose power in Sandy Hook but large swaths of Newtown did.
