It’s difficult to walk around this city and not feel the presence of my family within it. I look at the Empire State building from my window at work and try to imagine what it must have looked like to my mom when she walked through Manhattan in the 60’s and 70’s. Then I think [...]

Saturday night was spent dancing my little heart out with my friend Leah at the Further show. How I let so much time pass without seeing the boys I cannot explain. All I know is I had an amazing time and the music was as good as ever. If you get a chance to check [...]

Yesterday I completed the Montauk Century! It was a looong hot and beautiful ride and with it’s completion I have a story to tell. The last month has been a really crazy one. Lots and lots of changes which, though ultimately are always good, can be a little overwhelming when they happen en masse. This [...]

I haven’t posted in forever, I know. Please take my word for it when I say I have good reason for my absence. Life has been absolutely crazy since coming back from my vacation on the west coast. Work, home, everything. Also, somehow in the middle of it all I managed to sign up for [...]

I love this subway poster. It’s promoting a great cause, it features my favorite bridge in all the land and it stars a weight conscious bird wearing a tie and a bike helmet. Come on, even the non cyclists out there have got to think this is kind of cute. Today is NYC’s bike to [...]

On Sunday I took a solo trip over to Park Slope and checked out the 5th Ave Street Fair and Brooklyn Bike Jumble. The fair was an overcrowded mess of unhealthy food and way too many people. The bike jumble on the other hand was incredible. Back in the day (think previous life in Virginia) [...]

A week from today at this time exactly I’ll up and getting ready for my first Century ever. I’m so excited that I’m already dreaming about what it’s going to feel like to bike 100 miles through Napa Valley California. I’ve never been and my first experience in wine country will be by bike. How [...]

My ride today was absolutely empowering. It was around 44 degrees when I left this morning with gusting winds of up to 45 mph. The wind chill from them felt around 30 degrees, no kidding. I sucked it up, dressed in just about all the gear I own and rode to Nyack and back. Nearly [...]

This morning I decided to hop on my bike and do some solo spring time exploration. After a short ride through Ft Greene and up into Williamsburg I made an on the spot decision to hop on the Williamsburg bridge and head into the city for a bit. I noticed it was a bit windy [...]
