,,, Other Rides and Notes
1996 -- 2001
For these years, I rode the Boston to NY AIDS Rides
and Montreal to Portland Ride.
My cousin Paul helped me raise funds and crewed
these rides. I will try and find some old pictures
and attach them here.
1998
Below are pictures of a camping trip I took. Of the
touring rides I have done before 2010, this is the only
ride I have any pictures from.
I went camping at a State Park my Family would camp at
every year when I was a kid. By Family, my parents
and their brother's and sister's families. I think
all totaled there where about 50 of us (maybe more).
So it was more like an invasion. On this trip, I
stayed at the camping spot near the main entrance,
the park was rather full when I arrived. But the
next day it emptied out.
I spent 5 days camping, a couple of days I would ride
and explore the area. Was a nice relaxing time.
One funny thing happened on the way home. I rode by a
house with a young girl, her brother and their mother
enjoying the nice weather in their front yard. I guess
the kids where around 8 to 10 years old. The boy
looked scared when he saw me ride by, but the girl
yelled out to her mother "Wow, what a way to travel!".
I got a chuckle out of that. I wonder if she took up
touring when she got older, I like to think so.
