All about the bike...

It's been all about the bike this spring and summer.

I purchased a Cannondale Quick 5 in the spring of 2011, and I've been out on rail trails and various rides. I've been riding the bike to work as often as I can, including stops as the grocery store to load up on whatever will fit into the trunk bag!

Now that the cooler weather is here and the daylight disappears sooner, I probably won't be "all about the bike" as much...for now.

I learned a ton about rail trails in my area. They're a great resource! Check them out for biking, blading, x-c skiing, walking, jogging, horseback riding... You get the idea. Some of the items nearby to me:

Bruce Freeman Rail Trail * Nashua River Rail Trail * Derry Rail Trail * Windham Rail Trail * Squannacook River Rail Trail * Minuteman Bikeway * Bedford Depot and the Bedford Narrow Gauge * Assabet River Rail Trail * The Northern Strand

...and, yes, there's more, and there are more in development, like the Border To Boston Trail. Perhaps you have some nearby? Check out:

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy * TrailLink * List of Rail Trails on Wikipedia

Mellotronist Frank Samagaio 1951-2011
Frank Samagaio, Mellotronist, musician, and writer of "The Mellotron Book", passed away in late March. Frank participated in the MONEYPIT adventure of 2004...we had quite a memorable weekend. He was also there for the first and second Mellotron Symposia. Frank was taken from us far too soon. Rest in peace, Frank.

Miss you, Shadow!

My buddy Shadow and I are at the top of North Pack several years ago...
Sadly, Shadow is no longer with us, leaving us in late 2010
at 15 years 4 months of age.

Fell Through The Cracks! This one has been out on the site for a while but not hooked up to anything! Enjoy the "Ten Years of MONEYPIT" video.
