This episode is definitely out of the ordinary for me. I'm on a business trip to Cambridge, England and had a free Sunday so I went on a chauffeured punting trip on the River Cam. Next time I'll do the punting myself! Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

This nine mile flat/swift water paddle on the border of Maine and New Hampshire is a beautiful day trip. I completed it with a 6 mile cycle from the take-out back to the car. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

I've read limited information about this 3-day paddle trip with the same start/finish point and formatted this as a guide for those interested in paddling it. This two-pager is the best guide I found and used it for my planning. It's from the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands - untamedmainer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Moose-River-Bow-Loop-Holeb.pdf Maine Trail Finder is also a great resource:...

My plan was to spend the weekend in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont to do some fat biking at the Kingdom trails. I cleaned off the 4x4 Roadtrek 190V and headed north. The first clue of what was in store was the flashing highway sign which said, "Winter Storm Warning." They weren't kidding. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

I use my van all winter in New England, but it's winterized, cold outside, and the roads are covered in salt. This is how I do it.

In south central Maine for a destination wedding at Point Sebago Resort, we packed the Roadtrek with the inflatable canoe and gravel bike. Great foliage, paddling on glassy water, and a ferry trip on the bike! Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

We paddle a couple of half-day locations in the western mountains of Maine. Sandy River Ponds and Quimby Pond. Not a lot of talking, just a lot of beautiful scenery. We paddle in a Wenonah super light Minnesota II, and our friends are in their new Sea Eagle TC 16 inflatable travel canoe. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

I travel by van from Vermont to Maine to participate in Flow State, the 2022 Vermont Mountain Bike festival, and NEMBA Fest, the 2022 Mountain Bike Festival of the New England Mountain Biking Association.

I've had the Sea Eagle TC16, 2020 model, for close to two years so I could bring a canoe with me in my RoadTrek 190V camper van. It's been primarily for tandem paddling. In this video I give my impressions on the TC16 as a solo paddling boat with recommendations for seat configuration and paddles.

I removed the Roadtrek 190V dinette/rear bed cushions and the memory foam topper and replaced them with an 8" Zinus memory foam mattress. I made a few cuts to get it to fit just right. It wasn't a terribly difficult project. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

Two of our favorite parks in southern Arizona. We do two very approachable hikes for most abilities, one in each park. We even see the rare cristate, or crested, saguaro. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

Instagram: OldManofNewEngland We explore some roadside attractions in Southeast Arizona...some beautiful, some weird, and some fascinating. Outside of Superior and east of Phoenix is the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, the largest and oldest outdoor arboretum in Arizona. We travel through a strange roadside niche in Miami and onto the Pima Air and Space Museum. Finally, what trip would be complete wh...

We ventured out of the cold New England winter to hike and explore southeast Arizona. We drove partway up Mt. Graham, hiked Gila Box Conservation Area, and did a loop at Roper Lake. Our base camp was Safford and Thatcher, Arizona. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland

This isn't an ebike review, but my impressions of the use case of an ebike for the lifelong and aging cyclist. I was fortunate to have a friend loan me an Orbea Gain which I've ridden for close to 200 miles over the last three weeks. Instagram: OldManofNewEngland
