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

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.

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.
