Last Sunday I had the amazing experience of crossing the Verrazano by bike. It was the only day of the entire year that such a thing could be done and I am so glad I managed to do it! Thing is, I didn’t really belong on the ride so it was something of a mission [...]

I had such an amazing ride yesterday. I really felt strong throughout the many hours I was on the bike. Riding distance in NYC is tough because so much of the ride involves tricky navigation. Lots of traffic, people, other bikes and various obstacles like delivery trucks parked backwards in bike lanes or huge potholes [...]

I’d like to write a long and glorious post about my long and incredibly glorious ride today but you see, I just can’t. Why? Because all I can even think about is FOOD. I’ve already eaten everything I have here so I’m headed out to grab a big delicious pressed sandwich and go chill in [...]

Yesterday I took the day completely off and had an absolute ball rockin a Mets game. Not only did we get VIP seats – which gave us access to all kinds of cool areas but the Mets won too, sweeping the series!! Awesome day! This afternoon I rode my fixie for about 12 miles, just [...]

Had another amazing ride today with Wendy. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining and down in Far Rockaway the boys were surfing! I gotta say that even though I am a little freaked out by the ocean, (near death experienece in Guatemala a few years back) surfing really does look like an incredible [...]

Can I tell you how excited I am to have this as my Saturday forecast? The sun will shine the temps will warm me and I’ll be peddling my beautiful Trek as far as these little legs will take me. Wendy’s already said she’s in, and I may even have another friend on board for [...]

It was such a beautiful sunny spring day today. All day long the air was warm and the sun was shining. Yup, all the way up until I stepped out of the office to head home. It was right then that the sky darkened and the wind began to whip. As I walked to the [...]

I’m starting to realize that the amount of fun I’m having can be measured in reverse proportion to the number of blog posts I’m making. I know it shouldn’t be this way, and that I should be sharing all the cool bike rides and adventures, it’s just well, I’m exhausted. And delighted. And loving this [...]

So it’s official, I’m back on the bike and ready to make up for lost time! This evening I met Greg and one of his friends for a few quick loops (about 16 miles total) in the park after work and it was wonderful. It’s so easy to take the ability to hop on the [...]

Yesterday I had an incredibly relaxed day and just tried to let my shoulder/neck heal. I walked from Ft. Greene where I live, to Brooklyn Heights and then back through Cobble Hill and Park Slope. I didn’t have a whole lot of destination in my walking, I just wanted to enjoy the beautiful day without [...]
