Who are the Pedal Pushing Patons?

Good question.



We are just a regular family trying to squeeze a little fitness into our hectic lives.  We run, hike, swim, ski, disc golf, snowshoe, etc.  But mostly, we bike.  We ride road bikes and mountain bikes.  We ride recreationally in groups and solo.  We dabble in a little racing.  But mostly, we ride for fun.




We live in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut.  It provides us with the most beautiful scenery on our rides.  We are able to ride by farmland, golf courses, historic houses and classic New England rolling hillside.  We also have access to an incredible amount of mountain biking trails in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.  There are carriage roads, fire roads, rail trails, single track and double track.  We explore it all.



There are three members of our family:  Rob, Cori and HarryRob is an avid mountain biker and will describe the various groups that he belongs to when he introduces himself.  Cori rides on the road with a group of girls who train for triathlons and rides solo to get in additional miles.  Harry is in 5th grade and is making the transition from riding carriage roads and rail trails to actual single track.  So we invite you to come back over the next few days when we will each introduce ourselves.  And then follow along as we explore new roads, cut new trails, train for races, etc.

So leave us a comment to let us know you are reading.

Keep pedaling!

  1. Carriage roads, rail trails and single track? Thought I knew something about biking. Looking forward to learning more.

    Josh just borrowed a "trainer" from his coach. I had no idea what it was, he kept "saying Josh should use my trainer." I thought I was going to have to pay someone but low and behold...very cool.
