Welcome to my blog. A place to share my thoughts and observations about one of the great joys in my life - bicycling. Being outside on my bike inspires me. On just about every ride I experience an "ahhhh" moment when I see something beautiful and an overwhelming sense of peace and awe comes over me. It is like the "runners high" but on a bike.
Usually I ride in the morning; sometimes with my husband Rick and sometimes alone. We recently moved to Boston, MA from Excelsior, MN (a Minneapolis suburb) and we love to explore our new home via bike. Each weekend we pick a new area and ride. Sometimes with a club and sometimes alone. We also try to do a different week-long tour every summer. So far we have been to Florida, Iowa, and New York. Most states host at least one of these rides and it is a great way to see the country.
I love gears (as in bicycle gears) and I love gear - stuff you use while on a bike or a bike tour. Just the right piece of equipment can make you comfy while you are exploring. So, I will include posts to talk about my favorite stuff.
Today I am leaving for a solo "mini-tour" to the Green Mountains in Vermont. I am riding for 2 days and camping overnight. I am taking my touring bike so that I can haul my own gear. After dealing with a hamstring injury for the last year I am making up for lost time. Stay tuned!
