- Jan and I made our way to Block Island on the Ferry from Pt Judith, RI. Its a nice one hour ride to the picturesque 3 x 7 mile Island. The established bike route takes you around the perimeter of the Island on paved roads. I recommend a day trip after Labor Day since the Island may be very crowded during the tourist season.

Hi Steve, My Name is Paul Cavasino. My Dad was Quite Popular on Block Is. In the Late ‘70’s-Early 80’s !! His Name was Mike Cavasino. He Used to Moor his ‘40’s Homemade Sailboat off the Block Is. Boat Basin where His Kids including me Visited In the summer. He Also Docked His 35’ Cabin Cruiser @ Burr’s Marina, Next to Your Uncles Marina in New London. We’re Heading out to Block Again on Weds., 8-21.😎👍
Hi Paul and thanks for sharing. Block Island is a beautiful place. It's a small world. Thanks again and have a great stay on the Island, Steve
lucky weather and lots of exercise. i'm surprised at biking shoes! i always use 'fun flatties' just so i can bike in sandals or hikers. those stairs made your quota of steps for the day for sure.
Hi Stephen, I love my Shimano clip in sandals. They are comfortable and easy to walk in. Block Island has many hills and those steps are a challenge, however the view is worth it. Thanks again and have a spectacular day, Steve
Beautiful place to ride Rodhe Island, an great landscapes😀👏👏👏👏🚴♂️
Thanks Sergio, it was a super day. Take care and stay safe my friend, Steve
What a great day's ride 👍
Hi Jay, it was a nice mini adventure with beautiful views. Have a great day and thanks again, Steve
Another GREAT video!! My only complaint....your videos are NOT long enough!! More, please!!
Hi Amy, thanks again and your nice complaint is noted. I'm constantly learning and trying to improve my content. I have many adventures planned for 2023 and will definitely length the videos without making them boring. Have a wonderful day and stay safe, Steve
Great video!! like always. it was nice to see it, and I wish you and your family a happy holidays and keep healthy, great inspiration Steve. thank you
Hi Werner, thank you so much for the kind comment. I also wish the best for you and your family during the holidays and a great 2023. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
Good morning my friend waw beautiful trip 👍
Hi Aceng, thank you for watching. It was a very nice trip. Take care and happy cycling, Steve
I love the scenery, but I'm not a fan of riding on roads with no shoulder or bike lanes. As a matter of fact, I prefer to ride on bike paths away from the roads or at least in a bike lane where there are sensible drivers. All of the hills remind me of when I rode my bike in Maryland. I guess it's good to challenge yourself going uphill but going downhill makes me feel like I'm cheating. Thanks for sharing, Steve. Take care, David.
Hi David, there were certainly lots of hills. The traffic wasn't bad since most tourists don't bring cars due to the high cost of transportation. There are only 900 year round residents, exploding to 20,000 during the summer. Best to visit after Labor Day as we did. I agree, bike paths are much safer, although I still use my front blinky light to prevent head on collisions with other bikers. This almost happened on the Erie Canal trail. Have a great day, Steve
I haven’t been to Block Island in years- beautiful place. I am cycling around Nantucket tomorrow. Another island but less hills.
Hey Berenice, I hadn't been to Block Island in many years either. Hope your Nantucket ride is awesome. I was there in my 20's and loved every bit of it. The "Grey Lady" is like going back in time. I hope it's remains the same. Can't wait to hear about your day. Stay safe, Steve
That looked like a good ride. Those stairs sure did look steep'. Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is behind schedule and should be done late spring early summer . Some parts are complete thou. Looking forward to it being done. Take care, Al
Hi Al, it was a very nice day. I am looking forward to riding the Lamoille Rail Trail when its completed. It's hard to find recent updates regarding the status on the internet. Any local website you can recommend to get recent updates? Hopefully it will be complete early this summer. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Ahhhh, you were in my neck of the woods. I spend my summer boating on the water by the block island ferry. I haven’t cycled BI because of the hills and you have reiterated my position on that…LOL… looks like you had a wonderful day. Keep on making content, I love watching your adventures. We went to the cape last week and road the shining sea bike trail, wow is that a great ride. If you haven’t been on it I highly recommend. 20 miles round trip.
You are so right about the hills on Block Island. However, its still an enjoyable ride. Jan and I hope to make it out to the Cape this summer. We will check out the trail you mentioned. Thanks for continuing to watch my videos. Take care and have an amazing day, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling the trail on the cape runs from North Falmouth to Woods Hole. Lots to see in woods hole that we didn’t have time for, perhaps next time. I use All Trails to find the trail head 😊
@@vanomadcyclist3474 Sounds like a great place to visit. We will make it out to the Cape next summer. Take care, Steve
Hi Steve! I'm pawing through your videos looking for the one where you mention the saddle you use. I haven't been able to find it. Can you please tell me which one you use? Thank you! And as always I very much enjoy your content. I'm originally from Thomaston.
Hi there and thanks for the question. The seat is from Infinity Bike Seat. Very expensive but worth it Check out their website at www.infinitybikeseat.com Thanks again and have a great holiday, Steve
Can you share what brand your glasses are? I love how they seem to shade with different lighting. Thanks 🚴♀️👊🙌
Hi Doris, the glasses are made by Tifosi. They aren't cheap but the tinting goes from clear to sufficiently dark as you noted. Here is the link, however they have many other styles with the same type of lens. www.tifosioptics.com/product/crit-matte-smoke-cycling-sunglasses/ Thanks and have an excellent day, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling thank you so much, appreciate your time in responding 😊
@@dorisleonardo1490 Any time Doris. Take care, Steve
I know this video is two months back but I haven't seen this one yet. How's the weather right now in January? Can you ride or it's too cold, do you get snow at this time of year? It's warm and nice here in Florida in winter months. I just got back of my little four day biking adventure and planning soon another one. Hope you're doing well. Take care. 🙂
Hi Thomas, hope all is well with you. It is very cold here in Connecticut. Record low of -13F yesterday. I don't ride when the weather gets below 40 degrees. Snow skiing takes over in the winter. Been very busy preparing my sailboat for sale. Got a buyer in the middle of winter. Hope to finish a few RUclips videos in the coming weeks. Lots of catching up to do. Looks like you've been very busy with some really nice trips. Take care, Steve
Fun little adventure Steve. We’ve been out of country for two weeks and the first thing I see is your video.:) Thanks for sharing!
It was a very enjoyable day. Hope your trip out of the country was to an exotic island paradise (or Canada). I hope you and your family are doing well. Take care, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling we were in Spain and Israel. Pretty fun time.
@@deadlazlo What awesome places to visit. Memories for a lifetime. Take care, Steve
