From a flight of waterproof blackbirds to boiled wool bicycle slippers, there’s a lot to love in footwear this fall if you’re a cyclist/outdoor adventurer/boot lover.

THE EIGHTH WONDER.
Tippet Rise. The power, beauty and the riding at this creative place are all breathtaking. Open to the public last year, Tippet Rise is “an Art Center that celebrates the concept that art, music, architecture and nature are inextricably linked to the human experience, each making the others more powerful.” Nestled at the base of […]

FINAL STAGE. FINAL HOURS.
Tour Deals End Tonight. Saddest day of the year for some of us at Terry. What looked like a ho-hum Tour de France turned into a fabulous spectacle of controversy, breakaways, new faces, new routes, French joie and of course, the landscape, human and otherwise. Today marks the end of our ProDEALS of the Tour, […]
MAISON TAMBOITE? MAIS OUI.
In the Heart of Paris… For 100 years, Maison Tamboite has been devoted to making exclusive French bicycles, ridden and coveted by the likes of Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf. Though the brand took a pause in the 80’s during the bicycle tsunami from Asia, it is back thanks to the descendants of the original […]
COMES WITH BAGGAGE.
WARNING: may make you quit your job. Created in celebration of Blackburn’s 40th anniversary, Comes With Baggage is 18 minutes of asking yourself “why am I not riding across the country right now?” Meant to capture the history of bicycle travel, it transcends to tempt you to ditch everything and get on the road. It’s […]

SHAKE IT.
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 […]
COMING FULL CIRCLE.
A Bicycling Ephiphany. 35 miles, 2 ferry rides across Lake Champlain, a peloton of eight wonderful women and a five course, wine-paired dinner at the historic Basin Harbor Club are but a few highlights from Sojourn’s 2017 Vermont Women’s Weekend Tour. As a customer service rep at Terry I share my passion for cycling daily […]

RUE DU TOUR.
ALL SIGNS POINT ↑. This year’s tour route includes many of the iconic climbs that we all know, love and aspire to, along with a couple of beastly outliers that will be crazy to watch. In particular, today’s Mont du Chat is severely challenging: an average grade of 10.5% for 8.7km. We […]
KINGS AND QUEENS.
In the mountains, dots rule. Polka dot kits, accessories and utter nonsense permeate the cycling-centric month of July. We found some real delights this year… Circa Ceramica – handmade in Chicago Kask KOM helmet UV Buff/Headband Twinsix Socks Oom fit and flare Olivia Dress And of course, an […]
FLO’S COPENHAGEN WHEEL.
My neighbor, Flo, feels like she has a whole new lease on life thanks to an ingenious addition to her bicycle: the MIT-designed Copenhagen Wheel. Flo is not a hardcore cyclist, but is a smart cookie who works for NASA and has a ‘sky’s the limit’ approach to just about everything. She read about MIT’s […]

Each Thursday during the Tour, we’ll be introducing something very special, available only on our website in limited quantities. We’ve kicked things off with our best group but they’re selling quickly so our apologies if your size is not available…
ALONG THE RHINE.
Yesterday’s Tour prologue in Dusseldorf had us dreaming about riding along the Rhine River and disappearing among the many vineyards. Leave it to the Europeans to have a 1233km Rhine Cycle Route that runs from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea of Rotterdam, crossing through Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Much of the […]

BALANCING ACT.
How to get the kids rolling. Training wheels are a thing of the past. The new thinking in getting kids comfortable on bikes is to get them started on a pedal- and drivetrain-free balance bike to help learn the basics. Kids sit low enough and learn to balance and steer with both feet on the […]
A MIDSUMMER CYCLIST’S DREAM?
If a friend invites you to a Solstice Ride this week, be very careful what you wear. It sounds like a wonderful idea to celebrate the longest day of the year with a group ride, but in some places, a Solstice Ride has a particular dress code: none. Most famous of these celebrations, the […]
