Momentum Asks

That's me in the current issue of Momentum Magazine!

I was one of the people chosen to be featured in this issue of Momentum Magazine! I am pretty much beside myself with excitement!

30 Days of Biking: Days 24 through 30 – I did it!

30 Days of Biking: Day 30 of 30!

I did it! I rode my bicycle every single day in April!

This last week was when I kind of hit a wall. On Tuesday, I didn’t really want to ride my bike, rode into work anyway, and rode (in the car) home with Gist.

30 Days of Biking: Day 24 of 30

I discovered a downhill route home from a place I go on a somewhat regular basis. YAY!

30 Days of Biking: Day 25 of 30

I went into Boston and saw, but wasn’t able to ride, Hubway.

30 Days of Biking: Day 26 of 30

30 Days of Biking: Day 26 of 30

I was totally lame on Friday and rode my bike around the parking lot and drove everywhere that day. LAME!

Overall, though, I had a great time! May is National Bike Month and while I won’t be biking every day, I do plan to commute as much as possible, especially during Bike to Work Week.

30 Days of Biking: Day 30 of 30!

Oh, hi there…

Wow, it’s been a long time! Summer has been trucking along nicely, the Lowell Folk Festival was, as always, amazing. My favorite act was the Beat Ya Feet Kings with Black Alley. The Beat Ya Feat Kings were finalists on America’s Best Dance Crew and they did not disappoint!

Henrietta and I are still in love.

Day 209 - Thursday, July 29th 2010

I decided to dip my feet into the analog/film pool, with mixed results (more on that later.)

Because the cool kids are doing it...

Happy Weekend!

Day 202 - Wednesday, May 9th 2007

Guess what’s back in my life after a long winter away? My bike, and I couldn’t be happier!  Today will mark my first ride of the season – I had a bit of a hard time sleeping lats night, I was so excited (yes, the seven year old in me still lives!).  I think a lot of people here in New England will have smiles on their faces this weekend – we’ve been blessed with some amazing weather, sunny and highs of high 70s/low 80s.

New Bike!

mostly_sunny1.gifLowell, MA

We’re in the midst of a heat wave – yuck!

I got a new bike this past weekend and I LOVE it! The process was a bit of an ordeal but I am happy with the result. Gist and I spent most of (hot, 100 degrees!) Sunday looking for the bike of all my dreams and Belmont WheelWorks came through for us. I really wish we had gone there first because the other places we went (one in NH and two in MA) were not at all helpful. I highly recommend Belmont WheelWorks to anyone looking to purchase a new bicycle. All’s well that ends well! Here she is:

New Bike 2She is a lime-green Electra Townie 3. It is all tricked out with a basket, fenders and lights and I love it. I didn’t realize until I got her home that she is the exact same green of the Our C.A.S.A. Campaign!

I just hope that I’ll have this one for awhile.

My AWESOME bike

Awesome Bike

What’s this? My awesome bike.

Why the photo? Why not!

What’s gonna happen this weekend? I am going to take her for a spin on the Minuteman Bike Path. Wahoo!
