A Two-Wheeling Town
Mrs.Corvus sent me this link (thanks J.!):
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/23/re...te/23bike.html I thought it would be nice to post. For all the East Coasters who remember the annual bash of all bashes: the Jim Thorpe Mountain Bike Festival, in the quaint little town of Jim Thorpe, PA. Ah yes, many memories indeed...it was the first time I met Jim, and where we rode many, many miles with friends over many years time. It is unfortunate that the last year of this great event happened last summer, but it hasn't stopped people from going there and still enjoying the great rides and the sweet trails. It now seems that they are buying real estate there because its cheap and near some of the sweetest trails accessible for all the East Coasters. I would move there in a heartbeat, but its too bad there are no jobs there... - CA-G Can-Am Girls Kick Ass! |

I HATE driving into Manhatten...plus, its 2-2.5 hours each way, works out to 4+ hours worth of driving to a job. I'd rather use the 4 hours to go biking, not to drive my car... - CA-G Can-Am Girls Kick Ass! |
