   Jointly presented by:

This is a series of observations and photos from Sussex Cyclists member and assistant Club Ride Leader Mike Schultz.  Each weekly post usually tells a story about how he spent the days in his (way out-of-area) rides in Thailand. Read about his bike rides, cycling companions and thoughts about the food and people he's met.

 

Mike left for Thailand in mid-January and we look forward to him collecting many safe and enjoyable miles while he's not a flatlander any more.  When he returns in early April , we look forward to him telling us "all" about his adventures in a far away land and on a commercial bicycle he wouldn't be caught riding on one of our Club Group Rides!

Mike's message from Thailand: Good luck to all in Sussex and keep riding.

1/20/23 - In the Beginning

Totally settled in here at a guesthouse on the beach with all amenities 300 dollars a month. Luxury for me. The second hand Richert bicycle I bought from an overweight Dutchman for 100 dollars needed work but it may serve well. [See right panel for Mike's self described opinion - "My trusty, rusty, crappy Richart junk bike. How I miss my bamboo."

I've been going out on group rides with Jomtien Cycling Club 3-4 times a week. Brutal! We leave town in darkness 6:15 am sharp and make our way into the surrounding hills. The obstacles are quite surprising, packs of wandering feral dogs, water buffaloes, mendicant monks, tuk-tuks, street vendors, maybe an elephant or two.........Read More from Mike

[Editors Note: The 13th and final installment (4/3/23) of Mike's adventure is now posted - welcome home, Mike!]

Club Members Renata Price, Eddie Gross, and David Levy participated as Team Sussex Cyclists in the five-day Israel Ride riding from Jerusalem to Eilat for a combined 874 miles and 39,794 feet of climb to raise money for two important organizations promoting environmental protection in Israel, throughout the Middle East and the United States.

With the generosity of friends and family, their pedaling supporting crucial work towards a more sustainable, equitable, and peaceful world for all has raised money to support The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies located in southern Israel and Hazon, the largest faith-based environmental organization in the U.S. 

Our Spring 2023 Cleanup

Thanks to all who were able to participate on Wednesday, April 25, 2023. Another positive contribution by Sussex Cyclists to our local community. Great job!! 

Also … thank you, Lori, for the great photos and a big welcome to you and Earl to the club and the community!

Mike Savage

[And from our Board........thanks to all who participated and kudos to Mike for chairing another outstanding cleanup for the portion of Cedar Creek Road we are responsible for maintaining]

 

DelDot has approved Sussex Cyclists to participate in their Adopt-A-Highway Program.   We will maintain a section of Cedar Creek Road north of Milton. 

(Note: Cedar Creek Road is used frequently for our club rides, and is part of the route for many organized rides in Lower Delaware.  It is also part of the Delaware Bicycle Route 1.) 

If you have any questions about the program or suggestions on how to keep participation high for future Adopted Highway Cleanups, please contact Mike Savage.    mikesavage54@hotmail.com
