It was great because you could add extra loops here and there and get it well over 30 miles if you liked. We started in Delaware (GREAT roads), looped through Maryland (ok roads) and then spent a bit of time in PA (HORRIBLE roads) before swooping back into Delaware. Right at the state line sign the roads immediately became heavenly again. Smooth, massive shoulder with bike symbols in it. Ah, those were the days. I've since biked in those three states plus California, the District of Columbia, and Virginia. This summer I'm adding Minnesota to the list. (Running states list is a WHOLE nother matter). Delaware still has the best roads.SingingJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02185417043318788330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850016502233066661.post-50918294119416419462012-07-09T16:34:50.347-04:002012-07-09T16:34:50.347-04:00Kurt - never met (we'll maybe at the OWS or La...Kurt - never met (we'll maybe at the OWS or Lake Ts) but there are some great side roads that lead up to Southwich/Agawam if you're ever up this way again. I'm in Simsbury and I primarily stick to East Granby/Suffield using Rt. 187, 75 or 190. Or head a little more west to via 189 or 20 to Granville, MA. Good luck..waiting to hear about B2B as I'm considering that for next year. <br />Maggie<br />(maggie.lawry@comcast.net)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850016502233066661.post-78403502993763520072012-07-07T15:19:42.105-04:002012-07-07T15:19:42.105-04:00Okay I promise.

I have raced in 11 states and just run in 2 more states and 1 province. No new ones this year.ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850016502233066661.post-81953708636695883902012-07-07T14:49:38.231-04:002012-07-07T14:49:38.231-04:00Summer Olympics swimming is my big favorite.
Bike...Summer Olympics swimming is my big favorite.<br /><br />Biked in hmmm I 've got to think. Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Mass, New York, and I think that's it. I took my bike to Conn. last summer but rode in Rhode Island. I may have to start keeping track of this. <br />I will bike again tomorrow and run. Next week I will do an open water swim. There. I'm committed now.ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.com
