twas a good ride. my red-haired self forgot sunscreen, and will be a mess of peeling skin in two days.

mrRed 06-11-06 04:06 PM

ugh .... tired, sore, awesome. E. Fordham is not a pleasant road. uphill uphill uphill, and steep like whoa.

BadAssBiker 06-11-06 04:14 PM

Is that the road that ended my day?

evanyc 06-11-06 04:26 PM

My legs just turned into jelly after that stupid hill and I split at the little green hut checkpoint.

i got in the shower and noticed a huge love handle bruise from the spill i took. nice.

the ride is definitely awesome. i'm glad i did it with ya'll cause i probably would have taken it a bit easier by myself. the parkways are great, not bad at all.

genericbikedude 06-11-06 08:49 PM

when did you fall?

na975 06-11-06 08:51 PM

while i was at work around university ave. in the bronx, i saw 2 track bikes one was a chick the other who knows?was this rumble?

evanyc 06-11-06 09:02 PM

right before the second to last checkpoint(white plains and pelham?) i was riding behind someone (see, i'm terrible with names... guy with white helmet, rich's (is that name right) friend) and off to the right. we got to an intersection and i thought we were going straight. he turned right and my front hit wheel hit his back wheel. to try and keep from fully plowing into him i cut hard and tumbled. nothing bad. he didn't go down and i was right back up with just a bit of rash on my knee and elbow and a sore left wrist which is a reoccuring thing. oh, and the hip bruise. glad i didn't have my chain on.

Rumble Video
 
I rode the course with a few friends on Saturday. Missed Sunday's group ride. I put up a promo video on www.bikeblog.blogspot.com pass it around. Just trying to get people excited...but it seems people are pretty pumped.

Can't wait.

Peace.

visitordesign 06-12-06 01:10 PM

evanyc 06-12-06 01:15 PM

shishi 06-12-06 01:19 PM
