We went out there this weekend, putting almost 2k miles on my car. We spent the night friday in a hotel in NY, and camped out in a state park on saturday and sunday night. We went downtown saturday and sunday nights, saturday walking around near campus, sunday exploring a bit of the downtown area near the harbor by car.

Our apartment is on a tree shaded lane, and right across the stree from the park that surrounds the Charles river including a gorgeous bike path.

During the camping part of our trip I managed to get in a 1/2 hour of serious exercise. We also played around a I also ate like garbage this weekend, so I'm sure this week will be spent recapturing last weeks losses.

Here's my whining: I had hoped to bring our bikes with us, but if you read my other threads, you'll know I dropped my rear wheel off for a tension and truing. They had said it would be done Thursday, and I could pick it up friday. Friday comes, I dont get a call from them, and so I can't take the bike. I call sunday, and it still wasn't done. They didn't call me yesterday, so i can only assume it STILL isn't done. I'm going to stop by there on lunch to check on it.

The real kick in the pants? They had a charity bike ride AT THE CAMPGROUND WE WERE STAYING AT! 10, 20, and 50 mile rides!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! It wouldn't have been retensioned, but I could have at least had the wheel trued because they had a shop there doing tuneups and repairs! UGH! I so wanted to participate.
