I’m Heather, Karen’s alleged co-blogger, and let’s not forget top 5 friend. It’s confession time, I have been riding a fair amount. I have even thought of blogging about said riding, but, well, it just never happened. Shocking, I know. What kind of riding have I been up to? Well, Karen posted about our trip…

Blast from the Past
Last week when meeting friends for dinner, I spied this fellow casually pedaling down Main Street in Northampton. Talk about an ambassador from the past, advocating for bike friendly streets! The thing is, this is exactly why I love Northampton so very much. -Karen PS–I did not see him get on, or off this bike. I’m…
Two years, two months, and seventeen days
The post title is how long it took me from first posting about commuting to work on the Fuji, and actually doing it. I loaded it up with food and clothes last night and headed out this morning at 05:16. I wanted to leave by 05:00, but well, time has a way of escaping from…
How the hell does this work again?
No, I’m not talking about riding a bike. I’m talking about posting to this here blog of ours. The weather was gorgeous this morning with t-storms predicted later, so I was wondering what to do with my window of opportunity.

Working Hard for the Money at the Gran Prix of Gloucester: 2010
PA020137 Originally uploaded by sipclip&go Score one for spectator participation at today’s Great Brewer’s Gran Prix of Gloucester. One of the best highlights of the Men’s Elite race today was the disbursement of (ahem) spectator contributed prize money. It started, I think, with a clever photographer who laid a few dollar bills on the course right after…
