Wheels back on after Irene…

Update, update update…
ET wanted to let you and everyone know they have rescheduled the shoreline ride for next saturday the 17th. They  leave from the uconn health center at noon and aim to get to Hammo at 3. ET will put the route up when he gets back from England… get your bikes ready?!

Wheels keep on turning

Hello everyone

First, I would like to thank everyone for their donations/support/good vibes to our coast to coast ride. The fundraising was a success and the ride was fantastic. I enjoyed almost all of it, much like an ultra, and I’m really happy and relieved to be done, also much like an ultra.

We have one final ride planned for the 27th of Aug on which date we will ride 40-ish miles from the UCONN Health Center here in Farmington to Hammonassett beach so we can dip our wheels in the Atlantic (or close enough) and fulfill our coast to coast requirement. We will leave here at noon and plan on arriving at Hammo at 3pm where there will be food and drinks provided. Everyone is welcome; those who want to ride can do so for any distance they’d like and those who would prefer something more stable than two wheels can join us at the beach. We hope it’ll be a nice afternoon of hanging out by the water so if you can make it, we’d love to have you.

As for the route, we haven’t nailed it down yet but once we do I’ll put it up here.

Thanks again for all the help you’ve given us

Coast to Coast for a Cure – live(ish)

Three guys, fifteen states, four thousand miles, forty-seven days!

Below is the route ET and his cohorts took as they cycled across America to raise money for the charity Lea’s Foundation.

The position updates came from his SPOT satellite transmitter he and his companions worked their way east. You can also read the rider’s blog posts here

More information on the adventure and the foundation can be found here.

Keep It Wild, Don’t “Play it Safe”

As Mr. Bimble knows after last weekend, our tiny, densely populated little state still has a lot of opportunities to get fatigued and lost “in the wilderness”. This despite the fact that we do not have as much as a square mile of national park or national forest. [Read more...]
