Man, are we having some awesome weather. It’s pushing 80 here today, sun-in-sky and sky-of-blue. I wish I was riding instead of working. 
But, I did manage to train for the upcoming AIDS ride both Saturday and Sunday. Woo! And I’ve got the Five Boro Bike Tour coming up this weekend … Jeff is coming up from Philly to parteeeecipate. We’ll have the BtC crew from Tour de Bronx, and more. Sweet.
Speaking of AIDS rides … I hit $2372 this week, out of my minimum of $2500!!! Only a few dollars left! If you’ve got $10 or $20 or $50 burning a hole in your pocket, and want to pitch in to the cause, you need only go here and pull out that credit card.
Thanks!
Spring has sprung, and I have wrung everything I could out of her first weekend. Friday evening I took the inaugural ride on my shiny new Specialized Tri-cross Comp. She’s gorgeous, she fits me perfectly and I can’t get enough of riding her. Mmm. The weather was awesome, high 60s, couldn’t ask for more.
Saturday saw me running in Central Park, around the reservoir, with Caroline. We got up into the 70s, and we just had to frolic about the Great Lawn after, as the sun went down. The entire city was out!
The rest of them were out today, which saw me back on my new babe, up to the Bronx and back. 4 good hours of riding, training for the AIDS ride. Man, I love this stuff. I ran into plenty of Braking the Cycle kids, Adam and Jody and Jason and Brad and Matt Brown … glad everyone was out!
Woot.
I ordered me some new leathers, since I’m upping the trackdays this year in lieu of more street riding, and am a bit thinner than last year. On a friend’s recommendation I took advantage of a killer deal at Sportbike Track Gear on a 1-piece Hein Gericke set. I got the yellow since it was 80 bones cheaper and I like bright colors. 
Two days later, and here’s me dancing for joy in my new superhero suit!
Need to break this bad boy in. Who’s up for a ride?
Well, Spring Break is over, and I’m none the tanner. I did manage to catch up on my video gaming. I should have been studying!
Got my Chem exam back today, and scored a sweet 98. My running average is a 99, I hope I can keep it up. Wish me luck … tomorrow’s a Lab Practical exam, on the anatomy and physiology of the fetal pig.
Last night, in celebration of Spring Break, I painted the town (or at least the East Village portion of it). After a fun but early-ended date, I called Erock and Ali-moo and we wandered in search of a none-too-loud watering hole. Tough to find these days in that ‘hood, it would seem. Kinda felt like Goldilocks … this one was too loud (some houkah joint), that one was too crowded (no malice palace), that one was to prebuscent (42C). We finally settled on Croxley’s, which was almost just right. Erock did a tour of Ireland as we all caught up on life.
Good to see you two last night! My hangover thanks you. =P
