What Are Your Current Passions & Interests?

My passions and interests are many and varied.  I care very much for my family, my dogs and cats, my neighborhood, and the environment.  I love camping in the Eastern Sierras and Joshua Tree National Park.  Some of the greatest sounds are the silence in Joshua Tree and the wind in the trees in the Sierras. 

Having recently sold my car and being on my bike full-time, I have been reading quite a bit about bike touring.  It seems to take camping, biking, being outside, traveling, and “leaving no trace,” and rolls it all into one trip.  I would like to try a short bike tour sometime this year.

I currently belong to the League of American Bicyclists.  I also follow LACBC, Bikeable Communities, Women on Bikes, Streetsblog LA, and bikinginLA.com on a daily basis, as well as numerous other blogs and Facebook pages.I also work for the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association, which is a Bike-Friendly Business District.
