Near Florahome to Gainnesville, FL Daily Mileage: 45 Miles Total Mileage: 110 Miles I had a good night sleep minus the traffic by the road near me. Something I will need to get used to. I followed the bike path for awhile until a town called Putnam Hall, where I hung a left and followed […]

ST: Travel Day

Days are long when you wake up at 2:00 AM, fly to Jacksonville, get a rental car and drive to St. Augustine, pick up your boxed bike at the bike shop, drive to the hotel, spend the next 2 hours putting it back together, go to the post office and then go grocery shopping… But

ST: One Week

Leave a Comment / Southern Tier Bike Route / zanaridg@gmail.com

The weather is cold here in Massachusetts at the end of December. And the light has been sucked out of the day. Has been for a few months now. The dark comes around 4:30  in the afternoon and remains until 7:00 the next morning. You have to learn to like it. It’s not something that

ST: Boxing the Bike and First Michigan Snow Photos

Leave a Comment / Southern Tier Bike Route / zanaridg@gmail.com

I spent the majority of the day yesterday taking my bicycle apart and trying to fit it in a bike box. It is mostly a frustrating activity to do, and one that isn’t particularly enjoyable or enlightening. It isn’t an exact science yet you need to have some idea about how it works. Luckily there

Carolyn’s post-trail reflections and what’s new

1 Comment / Pacific Crest Trail, Yoga / Carolyn Zanarini

It has been nearly three months since we got off the Pacific Crest Trail. I can’t believe it was that long ago.  I can’t believe we spent five months in the woods.  I can’t believe I hiked 2,300 miles in one season.  I can’t believe what an amazing experience it was.  It was the most

ST: One Month

Leave a Comment / Southern Tier Bike Route / zanaridg@gmail.com

I’m getting excited. And nervous. And anxious. But mostly excited. 2017 is going to be BIG. And with the Holidays now in full swing and my ugly Christmas sweater just waiting to be worn, it’s less than a month until the big ball drops and I fly from a cold winter snow-scape to beaches lined
