Knitting Clio is back from vacation
Just returned from an awesome bike trip from Prague to Budapest with Czech Active tours — this was one of the best organized trips I’ve done. The tour leaders are very friendly and laid back. I’d recommend this to anyone who likes to ride and enjoy nice scenery and good food.
Before the trip, we spent [...]
MS Ride 2009
Here I am with the rest of Team Bauer at yesterday’s BKM/Steelcase Ride for MS Society of CT. We finished the 50 mile ride in good time — about 3 1/2 hours. The weather was perfect: sunny, warm but not too hot.
I’ve been told that it’s not too late to donate. So, if you’re so [...]
Not quite the Seacoast Century
This past Saturday, I made my annual attempt at the Tri-state Seacoast Century sponsored by the Granite State Wheelmen. The ride starts in Hampton Beach, but because my parents’ summer house is right on the course as it goes through York, ME, I start there and do the course in reverse. This meant riding by [...]

Here, we got to meet Ruby the Sow, whom we [...]

First up is the New York Times review of The Lives They Left Behind, a book version of an exhibit on the Willard [...]

Getting ‘Girled’
July 6, 2007 on 12:50 pm | In Racing | This will be one of the only posts you’ll ever see in ‘She Rides’ from a guy.
‘Getting girled’ is the latest in bike racing jargon from the man-pack. Admittedly, I know little of [...]
Tri-state Seacoast Century
Here are Bridget, Tom, Nancy, and I are the start (sort of) of the Tri-State Seacoast Century last weekend. Since my parents’ house is right on the Maine end of the course, we decided to start there and then work our way south. It was a great day — a bit chilly and [...]

The local radio station, WRCH, posted some pictures of the ride including Team Bauer (see below). We rode for Sheila and Dave (center) who have MS. The station was also supposed to have a podcast of interviews they did before the race, but I can’t seem to find it on the website.
