Just wanted to post a couple of quick pictures from last weekend. Jess and I rode our bikes down to the train station, took the Amtrak from Raleigh, then meandered about 100 miles back to our front door. Got to visit with family and friends, saw a great little parade in Millsboro, took in a festival in Liberty, and ate plenty of ice cream and snacks over three days.
Jess rode her mountain bike with hybrid tires, and I rode a three-speed Raleigh with a rear hub built in 1952. I’m writing an article on the trip for the Greensboro News and Record that should be out sometime in the next couple of weeks.
I’m sold on using the train for bike touring, and will do a how-to article on that soon. I’ll also post the full photo album once it’s cleaned up. Great fun!
