This is the route I take--I can get to 99 by going over the Alford St. bridge by the power station. From 99 sometimes I'll cross over to 107, which is easier now that the construction is finished....

Still commuting to work every day. Fortunately, I had the week off after xmas. After the last storm, the rides have been slushy and bad, the bike lanes are not cleared and cars are parked in them....

I rode out to Carlisle this morning. Stopped at the Farmer's Market at Kimball Farm, fortunately the ice cream stand was not open. However, I did end up buying a blondie bar from a kid with a table....

Today I got to combine obsessions. Rode up to Wakefield for the PHSNE Photografica show--basically a flea market of vintage photo gear. I went out at my usual time, rode up through Wakefield, looped...

I rode up to Chelmsford this morning. That wasn't exactly the plan. I went up the Minuteman path to Bedford--not very busy at 8 am--and then swung around to rte. 4. I had planned to go out along 225,...

It's an old New England tradition called "Autumn." Often people will say it's their favorite time of year, but I think that is mainly relief at having survived August.

I like this weather--it was...

Yesterday I went out for a ride with the wife for the first time in a couple of years. We used to ride more frequently, after she bought herself a new bike, and when we lived in Somerville, she'd...

Hmmm. That reminds me of a travelling-salesman joke about a farmer with a three-legged pig.

I made it as far as Manchester this morning; 57 miles round trip. It was nearly perfect weather for it,...

I took this route coming back from Beverly a few weeks back, trying to find another way around 107. It seemed to be a much longer route, but I was really exhausted from the heat at the time. There...

It was too nice not to ride today. Managed to actually get out around 6:40 and it was still pretty cool. Did a northerly loop: through Medford around the Fells, up 28 through Reading to 62, the 62 to...

Just a little. Often when riding the tonier 'burbs, you see a lot of high-end bikes--to the point where sometimes it seems I am the only one out there not on a high-end road bike. Whereas in say,...

I got out for a ride this morning. Went up to Reading for no particular reason, just a way I hadn't been before. Through Medford and around the Fells. It's a good thing, I guess, to get out early...

A good ride today--not a long ride, just from work out to Arlington, but there was a new bike at the end of it! Yay! A birthday present to myself--A new Jamis Aurora Elite. Of the bikes I've tried,...

I usually ride out along the river into Watertown, partly to avoid Brattle St. (which is being repaved, yay!), then up Belmont street to Trapelo Rd. How far I go depends on how much time I have, and...

I rode from East Cambridge to Marblehead and back again this morning. It was the longest single ride I've managed so far, and it went well, so I feel good about that. Took a little over four hours,...
