If you want to stay with your horse

From the mountains to the coast

Same as last year, I will take the Trek. (not the trike, which weigh twice as much; I can hardly go up any hill.) Lucky that I begin to like my new saddle - an Adamo, which was advertised for men, but I find it works for women too. The Giro still needs sometime to break in, but I'm happy to take the advice of not wearing a 16 year old helmet anymore.

Here's where we will camp and start the ride a week from today. No! it's not some chateau in Europe. This is the Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina.

Very excited to have the chance to ride the new (since 2008) Point Lookout Trail to see the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains.
If you're interested in all the details of this 7 days .... 450 plus miles on open roads, eight overnight towns and 1000+ cyclists, here's Cycle North Carolina fall ride website.

Now he's six and a half

Jacob advanced to level 5 over the summer.
First try on his brand new rollerblades.
He loves the TV show "Wipeout".
He keeps telling me how much he likes his "NEW" Sony DC, also using functions I never know it had.
