Subzero temps can't keep the Z Sharpe family off of our bikes! We bundled up from head to toe and managed to squeeze in a French Fry ride on our way to the train station. No one complained!

Looks like I forgot to post about our pizza ride last week when we were on vacation with my extended family since we didn't really have internet. It wasn't a long bike ride, but we got to bring some cousins with us and eat with lots of poeple we love! Unfortunately, I didn't snap a pic of the whole crew...

In an effort to be more sustainable, we've started bringing collapsible silicone cups on our rides to use for ice cream. Just for fun, we also added a jar of rainbow sprinkles! We stored both in the kids new frame bags!

It's been a few weeks but we went on a pizza ride yesterday! The plan was to take care of a few things at mgh then circle back and ride the whole minuteman, getting Bedford Farms Ice Cream and a gear tune up in the middle. It turned out the kids were too tired for that, so we cut the ride short and played for about 1.5 hrs by a creek while the adults read and napped. We got Nick's Pizza in Lexington and then stopped for sundaes and flurries on the way home. Overall, we added another 18.3 miles to our total.

Turned our Saturday afternoon activities into a pizza ride! Got covid tests at CIC health in Cambridge, watched the Michigan v Auburn meet with the MIT team, then grabbed some pizza on our way home from Aram's No. 2. The snow and heavy winds can't stop the Z Sharpe family!

Snuck in a visit to on my way to work Thursday so I could surprise my family with some valentine's treats. They were super friendly in the store, and we all very much enjoyed the chocolate! Would have been nice if there were a bike rack nearby though...

Even snow, ice, and cold can't stop the Z Sharpe gang from going on a adventure! Inspired by , we biked 4.8 miles round trip to have pizza at Figs (). We live car free, so biking is the only way we get to Beacon Hill. Nate and I also commute down Charles street nearly daily. We are very much looking forward to the day when those 3 traffic lanes include some bike infrastructure! Since Charles Street doesn't have a coutnerflow lane, we had to walk our bikes back to the Longfellow to avoid the uncertainty of the bike lane conditions on the Harvard Bridge...
