7.1.2017 – No bike trip to Cape Cod is complete without a dip in the ocean or an eventful fall. Gotta love the tiger stripes.
Perched on Spy Pond
1.16.2017 – My 39th year will be spent peering out over Spy Pond in Arlington, MA. There is tranquility on the horizon and on the Minuteman Bike Path, which is just steps from my door.
Floating atop the Hudson
10.17.2016 – As far as I know, this will be my only post from 2016. At least it will be of a beautiful ride through Poughkeepsie and across the Walkway Over the Hudson, which for a period of time since 2009 held the distinction of being the longest footbridge in the world.
2015 – A Quiet Year
12.15.2015 – Another job, another move, record warmth, plenty of running in the Arboretum, but too few rides. So long 2015. Let’s hope 2016 is more active.
First Long Ride of 2015
5.1.2015 – Finally out of hibernation and bumming around. Started the weekend out with a beautiful ride from Carlisle, MA into Providence, RI to see a few college lacrosse games, and then over to the Cape with family. So good to be back in the saddle.
Prospect Hill Park
6.20.2013 – The town of Waltham boasts a great urban park named Prospect Hill with incredible views of Boston.
Blue Heron Trail
6.15.2013 – The Charles River gets scenic pretty quickly as you head out of Boston along the Blue Heron Trail.
Cape Ride 2013: 145 miles in 14 Hours
6.23.2013 – This past Sunday, I had the great pleasure of joining a small group of friends for their 2013 Cape Ride. Started about 20 years ago by a Harvard professor, the trip is a challenging, yet relaxed and scenic 145 miles from Boston to Provincetown packed into a single day. Intentionally scheduled for a weekend close to the summer solstice, we set off from Jamaica Pond at about 5:30am, picked up a few more riders in Plymouth, enjoyed lobster rolls, old-fashioned ice cream, fresh strawberries and honest-to-goodness spring water along the way, and eventually coasted into Provincetown around dinnertime after battling fierce headwinds coming off of Cape Cod Bay for the last five miles or so. It was definitely a trip to remember, one shared with great people and covering some beautiful parts of the Commonwealth. Thank you all for having me along, and I hope to join you again in 2014. Cheers!
Cruising Along The Charles
6.8.2013 – The bike path along the Charles River provides a safe, leisurely way to access MIT, Harvard, and a whole lot more in Cambridge and beyond.
1st Boston Bike Party!
5.28.2013 – The first ever Boston Bike Party was, without a doubt, a huge success. Thanks to the police for joining us. Thanks to Elodie for organizing. And thanks to everyone who made it out for the ride. See you next month.
