On August 13, I combined Great Pizza Search (GPS) #18 with a 5 new Post Office, Great Post Office Search (GPO) #3 as a 44 mile, hilly loop from Naples, NY. Naples was chosen for two reasons: 1. the following day was the final 2020 Durty Bikes Gravel Race, and 2. the last pizza that … Continue reading GPS #19 and GPO #3 – (Naples No, not Napoli)!
This blog post is long but not about GPS, or GPa , or even GPO! Instead of searching, this post is about FINDING. Last week, I did a virtual gravel bike race as part of the 2020 Durty Bikes Virtual Gravel Series. Virtual in this case means that the race organizer sets up a course, … Continue reading The Finding!
During Friday's (August 7) gravel race, thoughts of the next day wisped through my mind; Sharker's b-day celebration! Upon returning after race, I jumped into making 6 pizza doughs, 1.5 pounds of past dough, and 2 sourdough bread doughs. Flour and dough were all over the place!

While riding today (61 mile loop), August 9, I recalled my single visit to Cardiac Rehab. I met the rehab specialist and received a tour of the facility.

After the tour, the Cardiac … Continue reading Blog Name Adjustment

The first time I heard the word La Bicicleta was in Italian class during my 2nd year in college. I figured, "what better way to meet a 'nice Italian girl' than in Italian class?" It didn't work (with the girl), but I fell in love with the word and object, La Bicicleta. La Bicicleta (pronounced … Continue reading GPS #15 and #16 – La Bicicleta! (Part 1)
Another long one. I realize that my blog is slipping into a "memory catalog" territory, but I feel that it's important for myself, my kids, and my future grandchildren. Since much of what I know about my parents and especially grandparents is missing, I want to help insure I help them for the future. In … Continue reading GPA #2 – Past e’ Fazoo (Part 2) – Marigliano!
I apologize up front that this is sooooo long, but this is an important story for me…. Some of the greatest gifts given to us were our children's decisions to play sports, then put in the hard effort to develop their crafts, and then be good enough to play in college. In our son's case, … Continue reading GPA #2 – Past e’ Fazoo (Part 1)
Great Pizza Search (GPS) #14 was a bike ride to Pizza D's in Mendon, NY. I chose D's because it is next to the Lehigh Valley Trail. The route would take in the Erie Canal Trail, Auburn Branch of the Lehigh Valley Trail, and the Main Branch of the Lehigh (Strava Link).
