Hey there. I'm in Nolita, Manhattan. I used to race Cat 3 back in high school...but that was 17 years ago and I'm back on a bike this season for pretty much the first time since then. That is to say, I was fairly slow then and am slow as hell nowadays.
I'll be riding the 5Boro for the first time in two weeks. I even bought some nice vintage quill pedals to deal with the constant stopping and starting; I plan on taking it easy and just enjoying the sights this time around. I've never been to Staten Island!
