During Spring 2015, a group of friends and I will be touring the entire east coast from Key West, Florida to Bar Harbor, Maine, approximately 2,500 miles in total, following the Atlantic Coast route created by the Adventure Cycling Association. This will be a self contained fully loaded bike tour which means I'll be carrying around 45 lbs. or so. I'm looking forward to experiencing the east coast like never before. With this blog, I plan to post pictures as we progress using the BlogPress APP on my mobile phone. Let's see how it goes and wish me luck. On a bike tour such as this, our daily challenges and not necessarily in this order, will be our physical condition, food, shelter, traffic, navigation, and weather. The above picture was taken during my Southern Tier crossing of the U.S. in spring of 2008. Bike touring requires a specific mind set and a passion.

Visiting Williamsburg

A visit of Williamsburg is a walk back into the revolutionary history of early colonial America with live reenactment of events during the fight for independence and of life at the time with wonderful character portrayals. Even a non-history enthusiast, like myself, found the reenactments insightful, compelling, and memorable; and the recreation of colonial Williamsburg, one of the major centers of revolutionary activity, to be captivating and architecturally interesting. We had a full day out and about beginning at 8:30am and concluded our activities around 9:00pm after a String Trio Concert of baroque compositions performed at the historic Bruton Parish Church. Colonial Williamsburg is a must visit if you are ever in the area.
