The Cedars of Williamsburg was selected as the 7th
best southern Bed & Breakfast in the southeast
United States region by guests via
BedandBreakfast.com’s 2005 award process. What
makes the recognition even more special is that two

Passing of a dear friend and companion |
|
On July 5th we had to put our pet cat, Jessie, to
sleep. Jessie had been a part of Grace's and my life
since 1984. She shared many of our life's moments
and was a very special friend to Grace & I. She was
the last of the original four we had when we were
first married. Although the smallest, she was Miss
Attitude and always had something to say. We miss
her very much as do her furry brothers and sisters.

Guess who is going to Lake Placid in 2006 |
|
After three years of talking about my Lake Placid
Ironman experience, I decided it was time to
stop
talking and try it again.
On July 26th, the day after the 2005 Lake Placid
Ironman, registration for the 2006 opened to the
public. By 8:00 PM that evening, all 2000 slots for
next year were taken.
My early training has consisted of about 200 miles of
bike riding, a few miles in the pool and some short
runs. I am trying to work through a lower back
tightness but expect to be 100% shortly.
I am working on re-purposing the Ironman4Charity site we used to raise money for charities
when preparing for the 2003 event. Hopefully by the
next next month's newsletter, I will have it fully
operational.

Meet the Ollivers from Australia |
|
A veteran of several "adventure" rides, I had the
occasion last week to spot two folks resting next to
two well packed bicycles at one of our local Food
Lion grocery stores. They were enjoying a little off-
saddle time and having lunch. Thinking they were on
a several day jaunt, I said hello and inquired where
they had traveled from and where they were
heading. I was expecting to hear a trip across
Virginia or the Outer Banks.
To my
amazement, they had departed San Francisco in
early May and were 77 days into a 4 month ride!!!
After a 1/2 hour conversation in which I realized they
intended to visit the area for a day or two, I invited
them to spend the night at the Cedars. They
accepted.
The next day at breakfast, we
spent most of the morning discussing their
adventures. As it turned out, on a previous trip,
they had ridden from London to New
Zealand. They are looking forward to their ride
across China in 2007.
