Most memorable bike trip: I had been riding for about 3 months and a couple of friends of mine wanted to ride to Lake George via the Mohawk Trail on Rt. 2. This would be my first real "bike trip" and I was very excited about the ride. When we left our houses it was raining, but that was OK because the weathermen said the skies would clear, and it's not like they're ever wrong. Right? Well, it rained the entire way to Lake George. The next week I bought a quality rain suit.

Most memorable bike trip: When I used to live in Phoenix, AZ, I took a trip up to Las Vegas. I went through several twisting canyons and coasted over the Hoover Dam at 4:30 am- absolutely spectacular!! On the way home I spent most of the ride trying to out-run a rain front and watching the desert lightning displays. I highly recommend a desert run to anyone; one tip- make sure your tires are in perfect condition; the weather and the heat wore mine down to cords!!!

Favorite place to ride: Up through Crawford Notch, Rt. 302 in the White Mountains. Good places to stop for coffee.
