unsafe at any speed

went to the desert

I'm back from the desert, riding around taking sweet pictures of canyons.
Taking nice hikes to see distant caves and riverbeds.

Last Friday at work we took the day off and went on a clambake trip to George's Island.
We took a ferry from Boston.
George's Island was made into a fort to protect Boston from the British in 1778.
It was very pretty & peaceful there, for such an easy trip from Boston.

lunch break

Yesterday it was so nice out I decided to ride my bike over to Boston on my lunch break.
Went to this cafe called "the Other Side". I think it's called this because its on 'the other side' of Newbury St.
The deck looks out onto back bay towards Fenway.
I got this awesome 'raw food' dish called Mock Chicken Salad served up in a big bell pepper.

also i'm gonna take a kitten from my friend's litter.
but how do I pick just one?

Pan Mass Challenge

This past weekend I rode my bicycle in the Pan Mass Challenge.(PMC)

The PMC is a 200 mile fundraiser ride for the Jimmy Fund and the Dana/Farber Cancer Institute.
Since 1980 the PMC has contributed more than $171 million to cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Last year 99 cents of every dollar raised went directly to the Jimmy Fund.

There is a mandatory fundraising commitment for each participant based on how many miles you are riding.

My minimum contribution this year is $3,600.

I'm well on my way to making this goal. If you would like to help fund my PanMass Challenge please visit my PMC account by clicking this link:

This was my first PMC. I can tell you it was one of the most moving and physically demanding experiences of my life. To see so many people in support of what you're doing along the side of the road. Thousands of volunteers helping with bikes, luggage, water, food & even entertainment.
I stayed in a tent on Saturday night at the Mass Maritime Academy.
