Mobility, outdoor exploration, biking, and learning new ways to ride.

Bike to Seneca Lake, mostly via the Ontario Pathways Trail. Solitude in natural beauty of my 2 favorite settings - forest and water.

A five-day bike tour from my home in the Fingerlakes to Niagara-on-the-Lake with my bike buddy Holly — 150+ miles of canal paths, small towns, Niagara Falls, wine country, and the joy of crossing into Canada on two wheels.

A joyful Quebec family reunion on Lake Baldwin, where Bailey met the whole extended family for the first time. We spent the day kayaking, swimming, playing games, enjoying a pig roast, and reconnecting — then took the long scenic route home through Vermont and the small towns we once loved.

A glamorous long weekend in Saratoga Springs with Catherine — boating on Canandaigua Lake, road-tripping to the Roosevelt Hotel, dressing up for a bougie day at the racetrack with brunch at the 1863 Club, celebrating Diane’s birthday with cupcakes, and wandering the charming streets of Saratoga before heading home.

A week-long supported bike tour through the Finger Lakes — familiar roads, peaceful miles, light social moments, and a quietly empowering reminder of my strength, autonomy, and commitment to vibrant aging.

A long weekend in Boston for Meredith’s bridal shower — biking the city, dinner at Faneuil Hall with family, celebrating Kevin and Meredith, and enjoying a warm, meaningful few days in Brookline.
