Peanut Roll XII — Fat Tire Edition, January 30, 2022
From Buffalo Rising, January 26, 2022: If someone was to mention a “peanut roll” to you, I bet that the first thing to come to mind would be some sort of delicious baked good, pastry, or donut. But when you’re in Western New York, a ‘peanut roll’ takes on an entirely different meaning. That’s because …

Peanut Roll VIII — Regional Connection Ride, July 26, 2020
A connection from the Ellicott Creek Trailway that connects the Clarence and Akron Bike Paths to the downtown Buffalo waterfront should be a no-brainer, right?

Peanut Roll VIII — July 26, 2020
Thanks to all who turned out for Peanut Roll 8 on a steamy July Sunday. Special thanks to Paul Roy for working the hospitality tent. Amherst’s 5 mile stretch is all that is missing to complete a major regional connection between the great trails in the Tonawandas and Clarence, and all points beyond. Let’s get …

Fat bikes can handle anything, so we love them for winter trail riding. Riders, however, really hate pouring rain and 33 degrees, so we pulled the plug on Peanut Roll 7 last Sunday. God loves us and wants us to be happy, of course, so when the NFL flexed the Bills-Steelers game to Sunday night, …
