The Stones of Belgium – Part 1
The following is the first part of a story I wrote for Embrocation Cycling Journal, the brain-child of Jeremy Dunn. The story appeared in Issue Number 2. (You can buy issues 2 and 3 here. Please support them!) As the Northern Monuments begin in earnest this week, I thought it would be nice to share … Continue reading
PA Ramble: A Taste of Things to Come…

There’s even a photo to accompany each berg. Which is your favorite? Post a comment to let us all … Continue reading
Pave Project – #1
Some of you may recall a project I mentioned upon launching thus blog. The goal is to catalog and record all cobbled roads in America. Ambitious? Maybe. Worth the effort? Definitely. Here’s the first entry: Located a few blocks from my apartment, Church Alley is about 100 feet of classic, cobbled goodness. Note the bricked … Continue reading
