Volleyball takes Exeter grad Tyler Goldsborough on the trip of a lifetime
Volleyball takes Exeter grad Tyler Goldsborough on the trip of a lifetime
Oftentimes, life in sports rewards athletes with unexpected opportunities to travel.
For Exeter grad Tyler Goldsborough, his success as a sophomore college volleyball player at Juniata led the 6-5 opposite hitter to earn a spot on the roster for the D-3 U.S. Volleyball Teams Tour in Brazil from June 13-22.

Transcript under the cut
The Queen today enjoyed a private viewing of Crown Princess Victoria’s stunning wedding gown with the Crown Princess ahead of a public showing of the dress at Goldsborough Palace.
More than half a million people are expected to view the dress as part of the Palace’s annual summer exhibition this year, but her Majesty was given her own tour by the Crown Princess.
The pair chatted as they admired the dress which had the world enthralled when Victoria married Crown Prince Charles in June.
Amid the pomp and splendour of a truly unforgettable day, The Dress was undoubtedly the star of the show. The delicate lace work seen around the neck and bodice was worked on by the Royal School of Needlework for months in complete secrecy, with no information on who their special client was.
Also on display are outfits on loan from the King, Queen, Princess Margaret and Prince Robert.

Route Review: Vance Creek Railriders - Washington
Running on the tracks of the former Simpson Logging Railroad Company, Vance Creek Railriders are in their second season in the fir, cedar and birch forests near Shelton, Washington. The pleasant, scenic route forms one of three operations in the Northwest established by Kim and Anita Metlen, the pioneers of organized railbiking in Oregon and Washington. I pedalled with them on June 22nd, 2019.
Vitals
Phone: 541-519-4200
Email: [email protected]
Website: https://vcrailriders.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/pg/vancecreekrailriders/
Check-in Location: 421 W. Hanks Lake Road, Shelton, WA
The Route
As noted above, the Camp 1 to Shelton route is part of a larger family of railbike tours founded by Kim and Anita Metlen, who deserve great admiration for the work they’ve done to promote cycling and recreation in the Northwest.
Check-in for the the 13-mile (21-km) round-trip is at a sandy, scrub pine lot near the former site of Simpson Logging Company Camp 1 and the remnants of the subsequent lumber yard. The outbound ride runs mostly downhill, quickly running into mossy, Northwestern mixed forest, over and along the Goldsborough Creek.
Riders also pedal past a country lot with views of various 1950s and 60s pickup trucks awaiting repair (which might never come). The placement and rarity of the vehicles almost makes it feel as if the owner had set up a found art exhibit just for us railbikers.
The line only has one grade crossing (meaning, an intersection where an active road crosses the tracks) requiring the guides to flag riders across at West Dayton Airport Road, after which much of the return ride is uphill. Vance Creek Railriders keep an unofficial record of the time to return to the start from this crossing, which we were told was set at 12′ 30″ the week before. Thanks to the powerful cyclist and two soldiers I was pedalling with, we set at new section record of 10′ 37″.
Vance Creek Railriders run on the final remaining section of track of the Simpson Logging Railroad Company. Founded in 1897 to bring timber from the dense Olympic Peninsula to the navigable southwestern extent of the Puget Sound, the logging railroad extended up to several hundred miles and included two of the highest rail bridges in the world. Per the Vance Creek Railriders website, the ”rail lines were in continual use for 120 years and became the last privately owned logging railroad in operation in the continental United States.”
By the time the railroad closed in 2017, it had been reduced to just 10 miles (16 kms) of track and served one lumber yard. Several idle locomotives can be seen by the remains of the lumber yard. Per site manager Cynthia Newman, the locomotives “belong to a non-profit called Simpson Railroad (Peninsular Railroad). They are in the process of raising funds to run an excursion train on the same portion of track. At the point they are ready to operate we will need to coordinate our schedules.”
I look forward to returning in the future to see how the operations run together.
The Vehicles
The vehicles are the same aluminum-framed, polyurethane-wheeled Railriders concept I described in the Railriders Cycling: Oregon Coast post, complete with upgrades such as retractable seatbelts, boat seats, Shimano chain tensioners, and front wheels made of a harder polyurethane compound for stability, as indicated by the color.
Of the 10 routes reviewed to date in this blog, Vance Creek Railriders are the only to run a fully motorized guide bike (as opposed to pedal assist electric motors).
The guide bike was in front on the outward descent and then in the back for uphill return. As the guide/driver explained to us, if anyone gets tired, they should just slow down and relax as he slowly packs the entire fleet together, bike-after-bike, to give it a push for the ride back.
Travel Notes
I pedalled this route as part of a railbike-rail-bike tour of the Northwest, arriving in Olympia by Amtrak the night before. To be sure, Vance Creek Railriders is most easily, safely and conveniently reached by car, but I decided try another way. I was travelling with a folding bike that I rode the 9.4 miles (15.1 kms) from the Amtrak station to downtown Olympia on the paved, enviable Chehalis Western and Woodland trails. By fortune, a classmate from grad school and top-notch cyclist lives in Olympia, so we rode his road bikes the 61.4-mile (91.8-km) round-trip from Olympia to Vance Creek and back. I do not recommend this to inexperienced cyclists given that much of the ride on the shoulder of a divided, four-lane highway, but we really enjoyed ourselves.
Given the long rides that day, and that I still needed to ride the 9.4 miles (15.1 kms) back to the station to catch a train to Seattle that evening, I had no time to explore the area. However, a quick search of the Shelton shows numerous outdoor activities where the Hammersley Inlet opens to the Oakland Bay on the city waterfront, over an abundance of fresh oysters and clams. Next time I’ll stay in Shelton.

Design Milk Travels to… The Hudson Valley
A drive away from the urban sprawl of New York City, the Hudson Valley has become a respite for New Yorkers. For years, city dwellers have moved upstate to trade cramped apartments for spacious homes, Central Park for the Catskills. There is abundant space, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life up North. But you’d be missing out if you wrote the region off as a sleepy, suburban district where people come to stroll. The Hudson Valley, a region along the Hudson River from Westchester to Albany, is a beacon of light for art and design that can rival the Big Apple. It’s got kitschy hotels, sprawling art parks and modernist homes carved into the mountains. We’ve put together an itinerary to show that you don’t have to be in the big city to have a good time.
WHERE TO STAY
Stickett Inn is located two hours away from New York. You can rent one of their four rooms, each with different designs and amenities (i.e. a hot tub!), or choose one of several cottages on the property. It’s just a walk away from the main drag of town, so you can leave your car here and explore the antique shops and farmers market on foot.

If you’re not in the mood for dark wood and you prefer your pastels, wind down at the Arnold House. If you want to really treat yourself, you can even rent their Lake House, which is set away from the main establishment. It’s an old school lodging but with sleek, modern interior furnishings and light colors, you’ll never feel stuffy or cramped.

If you’re looking for a getaway in the woods that’s a little more rustic, check out Vista, part of a collection of cabins by Tiny House Resort. Situated by the Catskill Creek, there’s an onsite waterfall, a heated pool, and kayaks available for a water adventure. In the morning you can cook fresh eggs from the chickens and ducks that the resort keeps, right over your own fire pit. The best part? There’s baby goats on site!

Probably the most visited site in the Hudson Valley is Dia:Beacon a nearly 300,000 square-foot contemporary art museum. “Dia” is Greek for “through” when the Dia Art foundation was started in New York, its founding members Philippa de Menil, Heiner Friedrich, and Helen Winkler hoped it would help artists realize their loftiest projects.
Dia:Beacon opened in May 2003 and takes the structure of a former Nabisco box printing factory. The museum’s collection of art from 1960s to the present is known for its stunning organic shapes and use of large negative and positive space to play with scale.

Manitoga by Kate Orne.
Manitoga was the estate and home of modernist industrial designer Russel Wright and is now a National Historic Landmark. It is also one of the few 20th century modernist homes open to the public in New York State—the rest are now private residences. From May to November, there are ticketed public tours, exhibitions and concerts at the home. Outside, there’s also 3 miles of Russel Wright designed trails that are opened to the public during the season, from dawn to dusk every day.

The home is also an artist residency and space for selected artists to exhibit their work. Esctatic, for example, is an illuminated painting by Peter Bynum who was an artist resident in the home.

Another famous draw is the Storm King sculpture park, a 500-acre outdoor museum with large scale sculptures and site-specific commissions. It’s the largest collection of contemporary sculptures in the entire country. It’s also open in the Winter, and has rotating exhibitions and programs that change with the season, so you’ll have a reason to keep coming back.
Notable mentions: Opus 40 \\\ Bannerman’s Castle \\\ Graft Cidery
WHERE TO SHOP
The Gilded Owl is known for high design and craftsmanship. What started as a blog by interior designer Andy Goldsborough and art dealer Elizabeth Moor became a retail space when Andy and Elizabeth redesigned a 1785 federal style house in Hudson, New York. The space is now a living gallery with furniture and art and draws everyone from collectors to design enthusiasts.
If you’re shopping for something big to really brighten up your house, Hudson Valley Lighting makes sleek chandelier lights that make a statement without drawing too much attention upwards. The company was inspired by the valley but their products are now carried in a chain of stores around the country.
Flowerkraut is exactly as its namesake suggests. The bright and airy store sells handmade goods catering to florists and gardeners. There’s always something to pick up, whether it’s house plants such as succulents, cacti, air plants and begonias, or ceramics and candles to gift to others. But that’s only half of it: you can also find various krauts like kimchi, sour pickles and hot sauces for your kitchen!
Notable mentions: Finch Hudson \\\ CounterEv \\\ Valley Variety \\\ Red Chair on Warren
FINAL THOUGHTS
If you’re visiting in June, Newburg hosts an Illuminated Festival of music, dance and poetry to show locals and visitors what the town has to offer. But you don’t have to go to a summer celebration to touch on the spirit of the Hudson Valley. The birthplace of the Woodstock festival and the home of “peace and music” has preserved its chill vibe and you can see it in the brightly paved streets in quaint towns that don’t have to yell to get your attention. It’s a modest elegance, a communal creativity. It’s kept for the ones who know that New York isn’t just about the city.
If you’ve traveled to The Hudson Valley and have any favorite spots or recommendations for first time visitors, let us know below so we can share (and also check it out ourselves the next time we’re up there).
