Fall Foliage in the Back Bay Fens

Here are some photos I took yesterday in Boston's Back Bay Fens. Wedged in between some of the city's most densely populated neighborhoods, the Fens are amazingly quiet and serene. I love the way the Muddy River winds past the beautiful fall foliage and beneath storybook-like bridges...

About "Tales of a New England Cyclist"

If you bicycle regularly, then you know that your bike ride doesn't end when you make the final turn toward home. You keep thinking about it all day long. A difficult hill that finally felt easier after weeks of trying to tackle it, a great view of the ocean, the brisk morning air, speeding along a wide shoulder in a high gear and feeling great ... it sustains you morning, noon, and night. And when you can't ride (i.e. bad weather ... common problem here in New England) then there's an entire bike culture in which to immerse yourself, like the Tour de France, the latest gear and gadgets, books and magazines, online tour logs and blogs, and simply dreaming about the next perfect ride. That's what my Tales of a New England Cyclist is all about.

New England has a landscape all it's own, perfect for exploring by bicycle. I own two bikes: a Brompton folding bike and 2006 Raleigh Cadent road bike.
