It was John Elder, brilliant naturalist and writer and professor at @middleburycollege (now retired) who taught me how a glacier carved the gap between Deer Leap and Bristol Cliffs. Spotted on today‘s cloudless bike ride in #Vermont. #bikelife #grateful #whyilovethe802
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent...face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald. Yup, I just rode my bike to the Lake Champlain Bridge. And this view? Always makes me think of Nick, Daisy, and Jay — and leaves me wistful and wanting to write. #bikelife #grateful #vermont #whyilovethe802
Spotted on today's bike ride, Snake Mountain. Whenever I see it from this angle, I think of "The Little Prince," and the drawing of the boa that ate an elephant -- and that grownups mistook for a hat. #vermont #bikelife #grateful #whyilovethe802
Selfie with wonderful reader Bethany Logan, who spotted me resting at the Addison General Store during today's #Vermont bike ride. She had her copy of THE GUEST ROOM in her car. #grateful #bikelife #amreading #getcaughtreading
I often post photos from -- to quote Arthur Miller -- "A View from the Bridge." Here is a view of that bridge. I took it on yesterday's half-century bike ride. It crosses Lake Champlain and links Vermont and New York. #WhyILoveThe802 #bikelife #grateful
