In Search of…musings for my grandchildren while riding my bike…
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?"

On July 6, for the Great Pizza Search (GPS) #8, I decided to do the Durty Bikes Gravel Series #2 - Bennington, NY Race (Strava Link). It was a very hot, hilly, and grueling bike race for me. Riding virtual races on real courses without other competitors is very mentally taxing. And as the first … Continue reading GPS #8 – Main Street Pizza, Batavia, NY

Newark is a 70 mile round trip (click here to go … Continue reading GPS #6 -BB’s Pizzeria, Newark, NY
Today, I rode to a "homey" pizza place, out and back to home in my Great Pizza Search (GPS) #5! If I plan to criticize others' pizzas, I need to taste some of my own medicine. The process started on Friday evening (it's now Sunday evening) with adding 100% unbleached bread flour and water to … Continue reading GPS #5 -Homemade Sourdough Pizza #1 and #2!

But, the forecast changed, and although muggy, I chose to ride to Farmington, NY (~60 miles round trip) to a place (didn't know if it was a joint … Continue reading GPS #4 – Dario’s, Farmington, NY
Yesterday's failure to get a slice made me think a lot about COVID and me. Am I being too risk averse at the expense of living? So, today, I hopped on my bike to make amends to myself. I left late "ish" giving me only 3 hours to get to Nima's in Palmyra, NY, order … Continue reading Day 2 – GPS (Great Pizza Search) – Return to Nima’s
