During leader training Chris told me (Susie) a story about the guy who leads local rides out of the bike shop in his home town. His name is Bobby Mac and opens each ride by saying: “With love in your heart and a smile on your face, roll the ride!” We’re in full summer mode
Susie here! It’s a hot one in at headquarters, folks, but with all our trips cruising along (and staying hydrated!), it’s a beautiful day in Apo-land. After all the rain here in New England, everyone is happy to see a little sun, even if it means a bit of sweat, too! It’s an especially exciting
Good evening most faithful of blog readers. Kevin and Chris here coming to you from a hot and steamy Brunswick, Maine. We’re going with the picture theme today on this 4th of July. Because, let”s face it, when you get on your computer in the late afternoon or evening to check our blog, you don’t want
[Editor’s Note: for better or worse, faithful blog reader, you’ve got blog newbie Chris Opie (Bates ’15, go Bobcats!) tag-teaming with Chad tonight.] Take a seat, pull both seat belt straps securely over your shoulders, make sure the bar is lowered completely and get ready for a rip-roarin’ ride on the Apocoaster- it’s blog
Hello, dear bloggees – you’ve got a combo of Susie and Chad at the helm of the blog today. Here in Brunswick, between the drizzle and the 63 degrees, it feels a bit more like November than July (or early September, at least…), and every parking space in town is filled with tourists running from
As I (Susie) said my monthly “rabbit rabbit” upon waking up this morning, I couldn’t believe we are already halfway through 2013! The month of fireworks, hot days, beach visits, hikes, and general summer fun is here, along with the high point of the Apogee season. Here at HQ things are suitably hot and sticky
Sunday greetings to you all! We’ve got a lot going on in the wide world of Apogee today, my friends, and I spent entirely too long yesterday waxing quasi-poetic. So let’s get to it, shall we? CI: It was service day out on the Vineyard, and Noah and Rosa’s hearty few dug into their time
Another day, another destiny! We’re waaay into it now, faithful blog readers. As of this afternoon, we have eleven trips in the field, with four more to come over the next three days before we’re fully engaged across nine time zones. Kevin and I (Chad) were at our Maine’s Downeast Explorer trip start in Freeport
Susie here, blogging from mission control in Brunswick! I’ll be in the office this summer after three years as an Apogee student, one previous year on support staff, and one year leading in 2012. My blog-writing skills might not be quite up to par in comparison with Chad, the blog guru of Apogee HQ, but
Ahh, the sweet smell of cut grass, hamburgers sizzling on the grill, and slightly-nervous kids starting Apogee trips in San Francisco, Vermont, and Charleston, South Carolina. Summer. Indeed, my friends, the eagerly-anticipated day has arrived – the official, no-joking-around Apogee season has begun! Three trips – Vermont to Montreal (VM1), California Mountains & Coast (CMC1),
