3 years agoSo glad Kim is apparently OK. Rachael had a similar incident last fall and was sideswiped by a turning UPS truck. Very scary. I always stay behind cars at intersections now unless I’m sure I’ve been seen.

3 years agoHi John,
That would be my pink pool noodle! It allows drivers to understand what the safe passing distance of 3' is. Most cars give a wider berth when I cycle with the noodle. Allows me to be less offended by drivers when I ride. If they hit the noodle it will come forward as they were traveling too close to me. Most don't want to touch the mysterious noodle with their car, so they go around. HA! Win Win!
You're soooooo loaded down that you could only buy an ounce of tea? Knowing you, I would've thought that you had bought pound bags of tea.

What is the purpose of that orange thing that juts out of Rose's bike on the left side. Does that force cars to give her a wider berth when they pass?
Pretty scary moment there, Kim. Glad you’re okay. Shaken but not stirred.

3 years agoAaaaahhhhh . . . a bed with a pillow.
3 years agoI admire how you have your nightly stays all planned out. You are certainly better than me. Because of all the things that can go wrong, I just wing it from night to night to night.
3 years agoMy very first night at Acadia, it rained cats-n-dogs, and the next morning I woke up in a puddle.

It was so wonderful to meet you two girls. We had a great time chatting with you. I just think you are very inspiring. We actually saw you on our way home on Sunday. We knew it was you because of Roses pool noodle. You girls are awesome. Ride safe.
