Alternative Fuel

There are many places where getting to the surf can be a challenge. Parking lots (if there are any) are often restricted to residents, full, and/or costly. Some places even require you to take a tram from the parking lot to the beach. Simply put, it's not the way I like to roll. So, for a few years now, I have dreamed of combining my love of surfing with my love of cycling and the accessibility that traveling on two wheels provides. I bought a Carver surfrack over a year ago and finally installed it this month. This week marked our maiden voyage. The freedom was ridiculously satisfying. I look forward to exploring other surf spots via two wheels!

Petal Power: National Bike Month

I love surfing and that is what I tend to serve up most of the time here, but did you know that bikes were my first true love before surfing stole my heart? May is the "official" National Bike Month with May 16th-20th as designated bike to work week so I thought I would celebrate a little. I still love bikes, biking around the city year-round and hitting up the sweet singletrack trails that New England has to offer. Traveling by bike is the best way to get places quickly; to not have to worry about parking tickets; to get exercise; to see more; and to save gas, money and the planet all at the same time. Make this the month to start an awesome new habit. Bike!

Falling back in love?

Well... maybe a little :) Enjoyed a sunny sunday afternoon ride on the fixed gear today.


First time riding her with new fork (original fork got tweaked in an urban bike mishap last summer).


Always time to stop and take some pics of ice bubbles.


Paying a visit to my babies in the shack. I hear we may have some surf coming...
