SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER?
GoSojourn/Terry Tour of Vermont: September 4-7.
Join us for our annual, custom weekend for women only.
There’s no better place to ride and greet fall than in Vermont. Quiet country roads, charming villages, reasonably challenging terrain, great accommodations and terrific GoSojourn guides guarantee a good ride; Terry Trunk Show and staff add to the fun.
A special Weekend for Women Cyclists
Ride, share, learn, and laugh during this truly special event. Sojourn and Terry Bicycles bring you an extraordinary women’s bike tour weekend full of fun. This relaxed, educational and social gathering is designed for women interested in cycling – from those just getting into the sport to those who have been riding for years. Learn more about cycling skills, bike fit for women, nutrition, fitness for cycling, and basic road repair, all while enjoying miles of fabulous rides in the company of like-minded women.
The Basin Harbor Club, directly situated on Vermont’s beautiful Lake Champlain, will serve as the host site for the weekend. Amenities include dining room, pub, pool, tennis, golf, and a variety of watercraft. From here you will ride back roads that helped make Vermont one of the world’s top cycling destinations. Terrain is gently rolling with options for avid cyclists to add longer rides in some of those Vermont hills.
Each day will include cycling options for leisure and avid cyclists, as well as interactive sessions and discussions with experts on various topics. Georgena Terry, founder of Terry Bicycles, will share important information about bike fit for women. A nutrition and exercise consultant will also regale participants, and the trip will be guided by two of Sojourn’s experienced tour leaders. The event kicks off with an informal lakeside reception where everyone will have the opportunity to meet one another.
It’s the top event of it’s kind for women this year – come join the fun!

BIKES, BEACH, BOOKS.
Excellent reads for summer.
Gironimo! Riding the Very Terrible 1914 Tour of Italy.
by Tim Moore
Laugh out loud funny, this just-released cyclobiography chronicles Tim Moore’s hilarious odyssey to cycle the first (and most extreme) route of the Giro d’Italia – in authentic, vintage style. It’s an amazing feat: 3600+ kilometers on a 100 year old bike that he goes on a scavenger hunt to find, build and ride in leather goggles & wool clothing, hydrated by Chianti. The lead-up to the ride is a bike engineering history lesson; the ride itself, 3600 kilometers of pure entertainment. Moore is a well known British humorist, travel writer and best selling author of French Revolutions, Cycling the Tour de France. Both books make a great summer reading list and are available on Amazon.
Lanterne Rouge: The Last Man in the Tour de France.
by Max Leonard
I worked with someone many years ago who used to challenge everyone to learn the art of winning through losing. This book does it, on wheels. Published last year to rave reviews, Lanterne Rouge focuses on the slowest finishers in the Tour de France. Named for the red lamp that swung on the last carriage of a train, this novel approach to an historical racing story is all about the logic in the peloton, making sense of the lone wolf breakaway (press for sponsors) and the lesson that, in the author’s words, “there’s more to sport than winning and losing.” Also available at Amazon.
The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist.
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Mystery buffs, audio book and short story fans will love this Sherlock Holmes adaptation whose central character happens to be a cyclist. No spoiler alert here…just get it. Many versions and media forms available online.

SISTER SESSION.
“Girls gotta start somewhere.”
This film is important – for girls, women, men, boys, BMX, cycling, the world – this is important.
Breaking through the BMX barrier, this 11 minute film (part of the Bicycle Film Festival) is an absolute inspiration. As I watched these women flip through the air and go full speed toward ramps, jumps, and staircases that I would give my left arm to avoid on two wheels, I had chills.
The women in this video came from all over the world to do what they loved in front of a crowd who was waiting for them to fail. Even the people who supported them in putting the session together said they were too weak for BMX and yes- they fell – but when it ended and they were piled together in sweat and tears and joy, there is no way that anyone could see this as anything but an extraordinary success.
If you want an extra boost of faith in humanity, watch the video here, and read all of the stories that this film inspired in the comments section.
Ride on sisters, and thank you for your awe-inspiring contribution to women’s cycling.

HEADING FOR THE HILLS.
I have always preferred the certainty of road riding to mountain- relatively well paved roads, intuitive turns with an occasional pothole or cow pie as the only obstacles to a meditative ride.
Trying my luck on the Cliffs of Insanity. However, with insane winds getting in the way of a couple of long bike days I decided to dust off Wednesday, my beloved Surly Pugsley, and head for the hills.
Fortunately, in Burlington we have some incredible mountain trails for all skill levels within our reach. My choice? Catamount Outdoor Family Center. They have over 20 miles of trails and also offer trail running, cross country skiing and winter fat biking access during cooler months.
After about two hours I was sweaty, covered in mud, and totally in love with the trails. Within ten minutes of going on the green route, I B-lined towards tougher trails. Now–you have to laugh with me while watching the video below. I thought I was shredding some seriously technical routes and watching it after it looks like a dirt filled sidewalk–albeit a VERY fun dirt sidewalk.

BIG RIDES IN THE BIG APPLE.
Top 5 NYC Bike Rides
This is Brooklyn Fit Chick (you may call me Margo) and I am a Terry Brand Ambassador who spends every chance possible on my bike discovering the boroughs in and around New York City. The gang at Terry asked me to pick my five favorite bikes rides to take in and around my beloved city and here they are…
♥ Prospect Park to Coney Island: Ah—when I am dying for a Nathan’s hot dog and little extra sun, I take off down the lovely Ocean Parkway which has a wide designated bike lane that takes you straight to the boardwalk. But a word of caution—in some neighborhoods people still crowd the bike lane so keep your wits about you!
♥ Governor’s Island: What a find this place is!! Left abandoned for many after serving as a military prison among other things, Governor’s Island features amazing -and often free- events throughout the spring and summer. Just bring your bike over on one of the many ferries available and spend an afternoon picnicking, gawking at the stately homes and riding the lovely tree-lined paths -pure heaven!
♥ Fort Tilden Beach: This is one of the most pristine beaches you will find in the tri-state area and if you have an entire afternoon to enjoy sunbathing it is definitely worth the trek. Just be careful to note that there are not always lifeguards on duty and on super-hot days the hipsters head off to this spot by taking the bus in record numbers. (You will recognize them by their tiny hats and maxi-dresses.)
♥ Hudson River Greenway: This is one of those fabulous routes that runs 11 miles from Battery Park to the George Washington Bridge and if you get there at just the right hour it will wiz by as you take in the ocean breeze. (Though avoid at rush hour at all costs as the tourists will cross your path with no notice!)
♥ Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Beach: This ride is so breathtaking you will want to stop to take pictures constantly. One of the nicest parks in the city—get yourself to Staten Island via the ferry and enjoy miles of beautiful beaches along with a lovely skyline and thank me later for the journey!
Thank you so much for your time and be sure to follow me on twitter @BrooklynFitChik (note the spelling!)
Until next month…
