Here in Lehigh Valley, we’ve been slammed with nasty heat this summer, so I grabbed a buddy and headed southeast to Delaware River Tubing.
After parking, we wandered up to the large crowd of people, assuming that’s where we paid. Between waiting in line to pay and then waiting  for the free bus that took us and our [...]

Marriage, it’s often by noted, is all about compromise. For instance, I find watching, rather than participating in sports, to be an abomination. But I do enjoy drinking a locally made beer outside on a summer’s evening. My wife adores baseball, but couldn’t care less about a craft brew.
The compromise? An Erie Seawolves [...]

After years of being out of town for RiverFest, I finally made it to this year’s event in Wilkes-Barre with a group of friends.  The Susquehanna River was the site for three days of paddling different sections of the river.
We launched from Nesbitt Park across from the new River Common which was where the rest [...]

Lehigh Valley has a whole slew of golf courses, one of which is a mere two-minute drive from my front door. That course is Olde Homestead Golf Club.
I’m far from being the next Paula Creamer, so I enjoy Olde Homestead mostly because of its beauty. The views of the Blue Mountain and the surrounding farmland, the lush [...]

So the Lehigh Valley is covered in snow, which reminds me of the first time I tried skiing. I was in 7th grade when I signed up to go on a ski trip with my church youth group to Bear Creek Mountain Resort (although back then it was called Doe Mountain). As we pulled up to the base [...]

You know those crazy “dog people” who get their pooches memory foam beds, feed them organic treats, and take them to doggie daycare? Well, about 6 months ago, I become one. I didn’t used to be this way. In fact, when I saw people treating their dogs like kids, I secretly rolled my eyes. But [...]

Three bits: My racing buddies all got together at the River Town Race Series (RTRS) season awards luncheon, held at Danville High School. Participants of the 2009 RTRS were awarded for their accomplishments in the series.  It was really cool to see everyone with whom I’d brushed elbows throughout the year.  The food was as [...]

It was about this time last year when I started coming up with my “Things do in Lehigh Valley” lists. These three lists (Top 5 Plays, Top 5 Restaurants, Top 5 Overall) were my New Year’s resolutions for 2009. Since the year is almost over, I’ve decided to take a look at how I did.
Lehigh [...]

Most of the time putting on races and riding bikes doesn’t seem to jive. Now and then; Bingo! Lately there’s been more bingo than usual,which is great for one’s psyche and doesn’t hurt the waistline (though Thanksgiving didn’t help!). Mostly it is due to the Trans-Sylvania Mountain Bike Epic this guy and [...]

While driving to work one morning last week, I heard through the power of radio advertising that the Freemansburg Motorcycle Hillclimb was coming up. I vaguely remember going to one before and thought “What the heck, it’s something different to do.” So on Sunday, my friend Kate, her friend Devon, and I headed over to [...]
