10. December 31, 2010: Love that I was able to ride today, this last day of 2010. It was 50 degrees here in Chicago, a bit windy, and rainy. Perfect!
9. June 3, 2010: I titled this image Making Waves. I still love it and it was the most commented on of all my ride images this year.
8. August 3, 2010: This picture sums up the way I feel when on the bike. Pure joy.
7. July 24, 2010: One of the many coffee stops in France. I loved this corner place so much. I hated to leave it…I felt like I was in a movie set. That’s my Seven propped up there on the left.
6. July 20, 2010: This was the night before we left London for Paris. The dreariness of the room could only be shot in black and white. I lay on the bed that evening and looked at my bike not knowing what the next four days would bring.
5: July 21, 2010: Arriving in Abbeville was particularly satisfying. It was a bad day for a fellow rider and I stayed with her the whole day, pacing her and making sure she arrived safely. I think we may have been the last ones to arrive that day, but who cares?
4. July 31, 2010: Seriously, isn’t this what it’s all about? Doesn’t get much better.
3. May 20, 2010: Riding out with a friend and we got caught in the rain. We talked while riding on the lakefront path before heading to the coffee shop for java and snickerdoodle cookies. Getting home and seeing my bike like this only makes me smile. Good times.
2. April 1, 2010: This was the first day of “30 Days of Biking” and the first day I started documenting my rides with photographs. It was also one of the first days that I commuted to work on my bike: a 50 mile round trip ride. That was a day that changed a lot of things for me.
1. July 24, 2010: What can I say? Obviously one of the best days I’ve ever had on the bike…perhaps it will be that forever.
Happy new year. I can’t wait to see what 2011 brings.
