Ossining, a town, a distination, a vestige of family history Sunday, May 10th, 2009
Dear family, friends and fans, 
What I really want to blog about is a bike ride I went on last Sunday.   Before I do I will mention a bike ride Devon and I finished yesterday.  We participated in a charity ride.  The options were to ride 10,25, or  50 miles.  Although we had planned to do each ride consecutively we ended up only doing the 50 mile ride plus an extra 6 miles just for fun.  We had to restrict ourselves because someone (I don’t want to mention names) forgot their helmet and so we were the last team to start and finish.  However, we did conquer the ride and despite a fight I had with my bike (yes I won) it was a successful ride.

Interstate Bike Ride Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Map Interstate RidingNew York is doing fine. I checked on her today. She is still there. I figured why do a intrastate ride when I could do a interstate ride. It was my first ride by myself. There was alot of hills toward the middle of my ride. I set out to do a 25 mile loop but after riding 15.5 miles out and not seeing my turnaround point I decided to turn back and thus no loop. Here are my riding states for the day.

Time: 2hours 38minutes
Distance: 31.1 miles
Top Speed: 35 mph
Elevation: 900ft total ascent

I felt pretty good the entire ride. I didnt stop or really feel a need to rest. There is a difference when you are not carrying any load. I will go out again this weekend.

My thoughts Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I couldnt have recaped our weekend any better. I would add that my body is very sore especially my bottom. I rushed back to stamford on monday to make class and just as I was pulling into the parking garage a girl rolled through a stop sign and I got into my 5th accident with the celica. SWEET! However, despite the conclusion the weekend was great, and I believe devon and I are well prepared for our cape cod adventure. I will continue to put my winter sleeping bag to good use.

Still in class Monday, April 13th, 2009

Well im still in finance class and it is 10:10pm and the professor is talking about co variance he just said he has one more thing…..so lets just say i am glad dad bought me starcraft 8 years ago. I got a bunny too. It went to the office and people got a kick out of it. I will be done in 72 hours. I cant wait. Thank you grandma and grandpa for the card.

Count Down Friday, April 3rd, 2009

OK.. from today i have offically 9 days left at edgelab. If you count the weekend (which you have to) I have 14 days left. At that point I plan to meet up with Devon and purchase my bicycle. We will also try out our hammock. I only wanted to get one and share it but devon insisted on getting two.
