Three years ago I started commuting into Cambridge on a brand new e-bike. Before this, I had never commuted by bike. I had bicycled recreationally a few times a year and I was in good shape, so I thought I was ready.
We bicycled to the new soft serve ice cream bar, Sundae Drive, near the Milford town line and the high point on Rt 13. Our weekend was already full preparing for our Utah vacation, so we only had time for a short bike ride. Issac’s goal for the year is to bicycle as far as […]
We took Isaac mountain biking at Yudicky Farm. Friday evening, we invited Isaac’s older cousins to come with us. Sam and Eli compete in a mountain biking team. Jake and Ben ride with their family most weekends. Sam and Eli were free Saturday morning, but needed to be back in Jaffrey for haying in the […]
Emilie was agitating to get out. We had hoped to take Isaac to ski something big on Mt. Washington, but the fresh 16 inches of snow created avalanche ratings of “considerable” and “high”. It is also hard to motivate Isaac up hill when there are no friends his age to chase. Everyone we had queried […]
Flying home from Adina’s in New York, I realized I enjoy flying with other people. So, I tried to organize the Brookline crew to fly to Mountain View together. There was a chance of rain that Saturday, so I didn’t send out the coordination email until the morning of the fly in. One other pilot […]
My commuting by bicycle every day and some friendly competition at work motivated Tyson to bicycle more. I had my first serious crash and almost broke my elbow. That took me out for a week. Tyson was feeling pretty confident about his commute between Bedford and Woburn MA, but he wanted to know if he […]
After camping overnight at Bowman, we flew to Stonington for fresh Maine lobster on the coast. We had one adventure with the bicycles, but it worked out in the end. My logbook shows that I, Emilie, have been flying less than other years. Initially, part of the fun of flying was learning something new every […]
After a month of bicycling to work on my electric bike, I have peddled over 300 miles. I am consistently commuting both in to Cambridge and out to Bedford in 40 minutes. New England is in a drought, so I have only been drizzled on once. Observations I have made so far: All the real […]
Between commuting and Isaac’s enthusiasm for bicycling, we have been doing more and more bicycling trips. So far it’s mostly on roads because that’s easier.
