In this mystical episode, Nancy presents Part 2 of Chapter 18 San Gabriel River to El Dorado Regional Park Adventure.

Let's see... Where did I leave our story last? Oh yes... I am peddling my bike into the enchanted El Dorado Regional Park from the San Gabriel River
Bike Route. I am entering a road into a magical forrest.

What do you think about when someone calls themselves a "Weekend Warrior"? Does it include spandex, sweat and tears? You can have a weekend full of rollercoaster like fun without getting too crazy and be able to relax at the park too!

Creativity is the spice of life and commuting doesn't have to become a "routine". There are many ways to keep your mind and body challenged. Add some change into your life, it's especially fun if it's something you already enjoy or have been wanting to try.

A Cyclist's View is one filled with beauty and mess, growth and change. It's all about perspective as they say but somehow I believe the closer we are connected to our environment, the more we have to experience and understand our surroundings. Get more involved with your neighborhood and hop on a bike - I promise you that it'll open your eyes to more things that a ride in a car will.

The day is here! A day of errands leaving the car in the garage and going by pedal power! Fashionable and adventurous as always, Nancy takes us through her sustainable shopping experience for both the fun and functional items on everyones list, all by bike of course.

Nancy shares her earned wisdom on the rules of the road with humor and candor. Sometimes you earn your experience the hard way, other times you are guided by the grace of strangers and sometimes you get a little bit of both with a touch of embarrassment thrown in for kicks.

Whether you're biking with a purpose, commuting or just out for the sheer pleasure of the ride, please, always be aware of your surroundings.
