I was fairly certain the cycling season would come to an end in September. After all, we’d had a fairly abysmal summer riding season that was punctuated with scorching hot temps and wintry cool. Neither of which enticed me to hop on the bike. But then a funny thing happened – fall was beautiful. I [...]

I have a new love. The kind of love that you wake up thinking about. The kind of love that makes you smile when it comes across in conversation. And yes, I do love my husband and he does make me smile every day. But I am not talking about him. I am talking about [...]

I enjoyed soaking up some vitamin D this weekend! Despite the blaring heat, I decided to start my weekend off with a bang of a bike ride from North Seattle to Mercer Island, down to Seward Park and back up to North Seattle again. It was a beautiful ride, if not a bit on the [...]

Warmer weather has finally come to the northwest! Now, I am sure there are some rainy and gloomy days ahead of us, but it does seem distinctly summery here in Seattle this week. My hope is buoyed further now that it is actually summer and it isn’t unreasonable for me to wish and hope for [...]

With the increasing appearance of clear-ish, sunny-ish skies, my friend Nicole and I have dusted off our bikes and started riding on a semi- regular schedule again.  We recently headed out on a little tour of our city. Starting at Gas Works park, we rode west to the beach in Ballard, south to the ferry [...]

Few things in this world are as wonderful as cycling. Ok, the warm peanut butter and jelly that has been sitting in my pack that I get to eat midway through the ride might come close… Cycling allows for me to see my surroundings in a different light all while doing something that I truly [...]
