WELLNESS REVOLUTION GRAD RIDES A “HALF-COUNTRY.”

April 20, 2018 By Liz Robert 4 Comments

Doris Grippin was a participant in our 2017 Wellness Revolution program, a program we conduct every year in partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont. The goal of our program is to get more women feeling comfortable and confident riding bikes, so as to live a healthier lifestyle. Well, Doris is now going above and beyond.

After years of minimal vacation rental riding (her husband Dave sold her old college bike), Doris got back into a serious cycling routine after the Wellness Revolution. Doris is headed out next week to ride a “half-country” from Chicago to Santa Monica, CA; 2500 miles in 50 days.

NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE.

February 6, 2018 By Liz Robert Leave a Comment

Bike (and other) Adventures on New Zealand’s South Island Make no mistake, there are very few cycle friendly paved roads on the West Coast of South Island. State highways are mountainous as glaciers dip to 300 feet above sea level. They are all single lane and narrow with no shoulders. Tourists unaccustomed to driving on […]

SHAKE IT.

July 13, 2017 By Liz Robert Leave a Comment

Road Test: GORE-TEX® ShakeDry Well, now that it’s hot and rainy (versus the cold and rainy of this New England spring), I’ve put the new Gore Bike Wear ShakeDry Jacket to the test, both on the bike and walking the dog in torrential rain. First, I admit I am a GORE-TEX® fan; I’m known for […]

OVERTAKEN.

April 28, 2017 By Liz Robert 1 Comment

Smitten with Smith’s Overtake Helmet. I transitioned in recent years from a Giro, to a Catlike, to a Smith Overtake with MIPS. The Smith is by far the lightest of all the helmets I’ve owned to date and can be fit to my head like a glove with the adjuster at the rear. You hardly […]

LOWEPRO SPORT 200 AW II. The simple genius of this pack’s design is noted when with feet on the ground, but not dismounted, you can slide it off your right arm and let it sling down under your left arm to unzip the side camera pocket for an easy grab and click. This is the […]

Bike Shop Hop Along the NY Rail Trail

August 1, 2011 By Liz Robert Leave a Comment

  The NY Rail Trail along the eastern boundary of the state is surprisingly unfamiliar to cyclists, even the locals, perhaps because a Google search serves it up in three distinct sections (see links below). You must cobble together the full map: the Putnam County Trail, the North County Trail and the South County Trail. […]

Rides of San Diego

June 19, 2011 By Liz Robert Leave a Comment

I’d heard San Diego was a cyclist’s city. So after a brief appearance at the Internet Retailer convention, I set out to visit bike shops and explore by bike an urban world unknown to me. I assembled my bike out of the travel box at the hotel, packed only the gear essential for an unsupported […]

Motherhood by Osmosis

May 20, 2011 By Liz Robert 1 Comment

Mother’s Day was May 9, already long ago. Still, I don’t want to miss an opportunity to talk about a mother’s ability to influence a daughter’s life and lifestyle, particularly when it involves drawing a young girl into cycling. Ten years ago, both my teenage daughters fit the mold of rebellion to the parent’s lifestyle. […]

Boundary thinning: exercise for risk-taking.

April 5, 2011 By Liz Robert 4 Comments

“Boundary-thinning” is the term I use for the exercise I engage to stay fit for taking calculated risk. I do live my life on the edge, but not recklessly. I think of  “boundary thinning” as a conscious activity forcing me to an uncomfortable, yet manageable threshold of fear. It keeps my brain alert and geared […]
