Go Left, Young Man! Racetracks Abound Just Over the Border, So Pack a Lunch and Get Out Take a Hike! Bring leaf peeping to a whole nother level RI offers a variety of hiking trails, each with its own style, terrain and level of difficulty. Some trails are ideal for fishing, while others are popular for bird watching or dog walking. Some showcase the area’s wildflowers, while others are more accessible to children. The weather has to be pretty severe to keep me out of the woods on my day off, so you can find me wandering around many of these trails in the rain, shine or snow, but the cool air and the colorful landscape of fall make it my favorite time to be outside. Hiking gear can be fun to shop for, but it can also be expensive. You don’t need much. Basic supplies, appropriate clothing and decent footwear will do. I recently emptied out my traditional hiking backpack and moved all of my gear into a sling-style bag. The single strap makes it easier to slide on and off at rest stops. The prolonged weight on one shoulder would likely be a hindrance on a longer excursion, but for an afternoon jaunt, the sling has been ideal. I always carry a long-sleeved t-shirt in my bag in case the temperature unexpectedly drops. I also bring water, food, a small first-aid kit, sunscreen and various fire starters. A handkerchief is useful to place items on when the ground is wet, and I never go anywhere without a pocketknife. Appropriate footwear is key while hiking. Running shoes or heavy-duty sneakers have proven to be ideal for most of the marked trails in the area, which are pretty well groomed. If you venture from the beaten path into rugged terrain, you might need hiking boots. Before tying on those boots and venturing off of a designated hiking trail, go over the lay of the land on a map or your GPS. Familiarize yourself with some landmarks before and during the hike, and orient yourself to them. Drop a pin on your GPS where you park your car in case you get lost. A body of water is a great marker if there is one nearby. Just be careful that you are oriented to the right body of water. I once got lost in the woods around Carr’s Pond because I was standing by the nearby Tarbox Pond, thinking it was Carr’s pond on my GPS. That’s not the first or last time I’ve been lost in those woods. If you ever find yourself lost and in a state of duress, stop where you are and take a minute to assess the situation. Try to not let panic send you in circles. Remember that you can hear the highway from many hiking places if you listen closely, and you always can follow the sound of traffic. If you plan a longer excursion, I recommend buying a parachute hammock because they are sturdy, comfortable and easy to put up and pack away. Purchase straps separately to hang the hammock. Rope will do the trick, but the straps are ideal and not too expensive. And what better way to enjoy the fall than swinging from the trees? If you’re ready to venture into the woods this fall, find hiking spots at alltrails.com, and dem.ri.gov. Remember that you don’t have to go it alone! RI has plenty of hiking clubs. Hike It, Baby caters to toddlers and their grown-ups: fb.com/groups/hikeitbabyprovidenceri The Rhode Island Hiking Club for beginning hikers to the more experienced: meetup.com/rhodeislandhikingclub Providence Outdoor Adventures for all sorts of outdoor excursions: meetup.com/providence-outdoor- adventures-ridj-it Providence Roller Derby: Rhodey Robin Roundup The second ever Rhodey Robin tournament is in the books with Providence Roller Derby’s A and B teams claiming three out of four impressive victories. The A Team — the Rhode Island Riveters — faced off against Roller Derby Quebec’s Les Duchesses in an intensely physical game. PRD’s #013 MonSwoon cashed in 109 of the 255 total points against Quebec’s 132 total points. While both Swoon and Quebec’s top jammer, Fifi Vât’Bécher (#988), jammed clean with zero penalties, Riveters’ captain Shreddy Roosevelt (#26) closed out her final game with PRD, blocking with an impressive +91 point deficit. The Riveters also defeated the Long Island Roller Rebel All Stars in a huge 442 to 19 win, which will impact the end of travel season rankings coming out soon on WFTDA.com. Dominating the scoreboard was Jane Austentacious (#1216) with 154 total points. Playing alongside the A-teams, the Providence Killah Bees picked up a 260 to 100 victory against Long Island’s Rock-A-Betty Bruisers. In a return match from last year’s All Eight On The Floor Tournament finals, the upsetted Roc City B-Sides got a win back from the Bees in a hard-fought game with a score of 218 to 137. The next home season game at the Alex & Ani Skating Center in downtown Providence is on Saturday, July 27, at 5pm. The double header will open with an expo game featuring Providence Junior Roller Derby, and then followed by The Old Money Honeys vs. the Sakonnet River Roller Rats. The Rats already lead the season 1-0 with a victory over the Mob Squad with a score of 161 to 199. Details on dates, time and locations can be found on the league’s Facebook or their website, providencerollerderby.com Rollin to the Rhodey Robin The Rhode Island Riveters of PVD came out of the Battle of Bunker Hill tournament with another strong two out of three victory. Skating through June 8 and 9 in Auburn, MA, the joint women’s and men’s round robin tournament showcased several memorable moments that can be viewed on replay through NerDerby on Twitch.TV. One of the standout moments was PRD’s own #042 Flyin’ King picking up the highest scoring jam of the entire tournament with 31 points in a game that PRD maintained an 8- straight lead jam streak. PRD defeated Muddy River 283 – 230 and beat Maine 133 – 241, but lost to Twin State in a very close 172 – 157 game. Coming up next on the weekend of June 22, PRD hosts their second ever Rhodey Robin tournament at the Longplex in Tiverton. This features skaters from Long Island, Roc City (Rochester, NY) and Quebec, and many tiers of tickets are available through ProvidenceRollerDerby.com. Both the RI Riveters and the Killah Bees will be on hand to compete, sign autographs and participate in events with the audience. The next home season game at the Alex & Ani Skating Center in downtown PVD is on Saturday, July 27 at 5pm. The double header will open with an expo game featuring Providence Junior Roller Derby, followed by The Old Money Honeys vs. the Sakonnet River Roller Rats. The Rats already lead the season 1 – 0 with a victory over the Mob Squad with a score of 161 – 199. For all the dates, times and locations, details can be found on the league’s Facebook or by going to Providence Roller Derby.com Speaking of junior roller derby, the next 12-week junior roller program starts Saturday, June 29 at PRD’s practice space in Coventry. Juniors who started out last year are already competing at PRD bouts this season. Open to ages 7 to 17, you can sign up your future derby star by reaching out to [email protected]. World record for speed pretzel eating set at PVD Fest Saturday around 3:45 pm something happened in Kennedy Plaza that will go down in history. Well, if you count the Guinness Book of World Records as history. At an eating event sponsored by The Malted Barley, which provided the pretzels as well, the world record for speed pretzel eating was set. Geoffrey Esper downed 26 pretzels in 8 minutes, with a little juice to help them go down. Other participants included one of the founders of The Malted Barley (and head honcho at the Westerly location), Colin Bennett, Newport naval maritime warfare instructor Ralph Lufkin, and local comedian, podcaster and Motif contributor Chuck Staton. Miko Sudo of Nevada, currently ranked the #1 female in the country in competitive eating, was on the roster. So were a number of other professional competitive eaters from as far as Florida and Illinois. Eight minutes isn’t a long time for most things. But for eating as fast as you can, it can seem like an eternity. Most of the professionals took the approach of squishing down the pretzels, dipping them in a beverage (each contestant brought their own pre-selected drink of choice) and then cramming as much in as possible. All this while being egged on by a Major League Eating host who seemed to have been abducted directly from a World Wrestling Entertainment event. The final results saw some contestants complete as little as two-and-a-half pretzels. Esper ran away with the championship belt (and first place purse of $2,000) with 26, and the real drama was between second (18.5 pretzels for Nick Wehry) and third (18) where third place Miko Sudo lost based on judges’ penalties (half a pretzel, twice) for allowing crushed pretzel bits to land on the ground. The close result, decided by those penalties, left the contestant in tears. Esper is a vocational high school teacher near Boston by day, and eats competitively on the side, especially during the summer.
