Category: Cross Country Honeymoon
49 days (3,577 Miles) in Rapha
Not typically known as a bicycle touring clothing brand, we took Rapha through the paces on our cross country honeymoon. Granted, I’m already informed (and perhaps a bit biased), as a member of the NYC based racing squad (and having worked at the Rapha Cycle Club in NYC). I know how amazing the clothes are [...]
Grand Finale
Day 58: Pipersville, PA to Brooklyn, NY- 85 miles, Total 3577.6 miles We couldn’t have found a better place to spend our final night. Chris Shaw’s home proved nothing short of an oasis and such a great closure to our sleeping away from home. Thanks again, Chris! Eager to hit the road, we did a [...]
Coming Soon
We’re home, our final day post is coming soon. We’ve been running around to various states to collect our strewn belongings. Please check back, as we plan to move into another phase with the site.
House in the Country
Day 57: Lancaster, PA to Pipersville, PA- 72.29 miles, Total 3492.6 miles With yesterday’s unforeseen rain delay, we decided on an early start. Somehow, we rose to our 6am alarm. Partially excited for Amish country in the sun (versus the deluge) and partially excited to get to Chris Shaw’s house (which he graciously offered up). [...]
Civic Duty
Day 55: Chambersburg, PA to Lancaster, PA- 82.37 miles, Total 3419.6 miles Thanks to our new friends from yesterday’s diner, we knew the lay of the land. One climb faced us today- South Mountain. Though, nothing like it’s predecessors in terms of grade, we should have a nice gradual slope. We made it out pre [...]
The Devil’s in the Hills
Day 54: Bedford, PA to Chambersburg, PA- 63.74 miles, Total 3337.2 miles I’m not going to write about our breakfast, a late start or revisiting certain routes today. Though, I will write about the torture chamber that is Pennsylvania. Up and down and up and down and… Edie and I cursed the state for most [...]
Up, Up and Away
Day 52: New Stanton, PA to Bedford, PA- 78.04 miles, Total 3273.5 miles I realize that most posts start with a mention of breakfast, typically at a hotel and involving waffles. This morning, however, left Edie and I scratching our heads. First, why vomit in the hallway on the way to breakfast? Second, why were [...]
Trifecta
Day 51: St. Clairesville, OH to New Stanton, PA- 87.22 miles, Total 3195.4 miles This morning was a first on the trip. We shared the continental breakfast area with a bunch of pro racers. The same motorcycle racing event this weekend that the Olive Garden guy mentioned. Though, as we found out at dinner last [...]
Who Knew?
Day 50: Zanesville, OH to St. Clairesville, OH- 72.02 miles, Total 3108.1 miles I think we woke up in a Fairfield Inn… it’s all getting very confusing. The terrain, rooms and continental breakfasts are blurring together. I do know we rode on Route 40 again, though it got quite hilly. In fact, surprisingly hilly. So [...]
