Walk+Bike+Roll Randolph
Being a huge supporter of multimodal transportation, quickly upon moving to Vermont I became involved in our town’s organization on the subject. The group is still in its infancy, but we’re now online! This post is mostly to announce my participation and the fact I created the site. Yay! I’m by no means leading the group due to a lack of available time and…

Mia and Daddy do NC
Perhaps the day I left my job, an idea dawned on me. I can travel! There’s a $49 direct fare from New Haven, CT, to Wilmington, NC (where my family is), via Avelo that it turns out is awesome.

It retains enough of the old design (general color, minimalism, font style) while bringing in some excitement (look at those featured photos…

New Web Host!

Ultimately they came down about 30%, but not even close. So I spent a couple of hours…

Ride: Circus Ride
A local route steeped in history. I was without a bike or much fitness after moving last year so this was the first opportunity I had at it. It was a tough one, but it was a glorious one. 100% redeemed my Overland ride. The flooding from the past year had washed pretty much all dirt off these ancient roads and we had more…
