Can this really be a blog about my wheeled life without any actual bicycling?  Here’s yet another post about kayaking, of all things.  The very antithesis of cycling, since I happen to know through experience that cyclists on bicycles sink.

Luckily, the kayaking is still part of the journey.  The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is on the bucket list, but it won’t be this year or even this summer.  The focus for the past month has been better health and better conditioning (and fun with photos along the way, of course). Along those lines, progress is slow but in the correct direction.  To celebrate, I convinced my sweetie to go kayaking with me at Croton Point, Croton, NY.  In actual fact, we listened to the park ranger’s advice to explore the Croton River nearby, launching from the last little bit of land past the Croton train station.

We had a blast; an appropriately low key and enjoyable workout.  This was key, since I’d convinced her to spend an hour and a half in the gym the day before.  Here are my favorite four pictures from our trip, plus visual evidence that I am a handsome fellow, but should definitely keep losing weight.  :-)  Click any thumbnail and scroll through to enjoy them all.  Cheers, Greg
