Riding the rivers…
Autumn… cycling the upstate NY river valleys with foliage painting the rolling hills! Saturday provided the perfect opportunity to pedal 25 miles with friends and family on the annual Rotary River Ride from Bainbridge, NY. While we weren’t traveling too fast, we were really enjoying our surroundings… taking in the fall foliage and enjoying the warmth of an early autumn day.
Little Thaddeus negotiated the ride just fine in his little trailer behind Mom & Dad’s tandem. A special thanks to the Bainbridge Rotary for fine 25, 50 & 100 mile routes for the ride, along with some great homemade eats under the pavilion at General Clinton Park at ride’s end.








What a great family vacation we’ve had! So many memories for the nine of us here in Southern California this past eight days: crisp sunrises with the snow capped mountains in the distance; LA and the Getty; great food like the Crab
Cooker, Thai and Islamic-Chinese; decorating the NAMM float, the Band Fest and the Rose Parade; Disneyland on New Years Eve Day… whew! Too much to even capture in a short post.
ce again. The transition won’t be too difficult, because the weather here is cooling back down into the 50′s and 60′s (from the 70′s most of the week) and the fog has rolled in most mornings and night.
he Lula Washingon Dance Company in LA, the Crystal Cathedral, the Rose Parade (of course) and lots more.
Ok dad… LOVE your support but I won’t even be ready for tryouts until November and considering that the girls on the Gotham Girls team are totally amazing I wouldn’t want anyone to think I was at that level yet! Someday for sure… e.
