Century Riders
100 miles done! What a glorious day. Things got started on Friday with a bib pick up at the middle school in Hanover where the event is staged. Pick up started at noon and the temp was about 92 degrees. There were quite a lot of people there already and I’m glad that I went […]

prouty 2012 begins
This year it’s on and poppin’! Ain’t no stoppin’… Us from rockin’… Okay, we’re done with the 50 mile waltz in the park. 2012 marks the year of the 100 miler, oh yes. Some say it can’t be done, and those people are wrong. Time to get serious and focused. I believe that Amy is […]

prouty 2010 video
A man by the name of Michael Sacca put together a few videos of the 2010 Prouty. He followed us out on one of our team practice rides and I pop up once or twice. In hindsight, I think it’s because I was riding next to a guy who was doing the 200 mile variant. […]

Pedal Onward – 32 more miles to go
The rain held off on Sunday, breezy, flashes of sun. Somehow we always manage to ride INTO the wind, no matter what direction we seem to be going. Completed an almost 19 mile stretch along both sides of the Connecticuit River in NH and VT. A couple of big hills to challenge the leg muscles […]

Pedal Onward- Only 42 More Miles to Go
Monday marked our inaugural bike ride of the season. Just a short loop around Lake Morey. Just enough to get the butt muscles a bit sore and back in the saddle again. Here are some pics from that ride. It felt great to get back on the road again. And only 42 more miles to […]

tune up
Even though there’s still 18″ of snow in the yard and our roads are a heaving mess I dragged the road bikes into the shop for a little tune before the season starts. Just a reminder that Amy and I are doing The Prouty again this year to raise money for cancer research and support. […]

Prouty 2011
Amy and I are registered for the 2011 Prouty! Let’s put the unpleasantness of past behind us, where it belongs. I’m going to attempt to keep my verbal abuse towards potential doners to a minimum this year. Make no mistake though, I am as motivated as I was last year and to top it off, […]

Prouty Numbers
Just got some figures from Saturday – more than 4500 people either walk or rode in the event and so far, the event raised $2.18 million dollars for cancer research and patient services at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Not bad for an event in a small New Hampshire town! While it drew people from all […]

Prouty On!
Included are pics from our Prouty Day. There are also video commentaries that Ben will include at some point. As seen by the alarm clock photo, we were up early on Saturday. Woke up to rain and it rained pretty much our entire ride so we weren’t able to bring our phones for photos or […]

prouty review
The words I typed in my first Prouty post from a few months ago, hoping for good weather, rang in my ears as we awoke to the sound of rain beating on the metal roof. We scarfed eggs, toast and fried tomato and I tied plastic bags on our bike seats in a vain attempt […]
