*stretch* ah…nice long weekend. me is happy. a bit injured and pained, but its all good. satty was the first official biking run of 2005. the trail of choice was the scenic seaside mountain trails of the hartshorne near sandy hook. fish said he was out of shape, and i hadnt exactly been endurance training during the winter, so we didnt really know whether we’d make it thru or keel over and spew our lunch. after the first climb up the trail head, fish was near death and i seemed fine…so i guess that answered our question. we rode on anyhoo, taking the trails pretty well. the trails were still relatively fresh tho, so the soil was pretty loose. loose soil=holy crap no traction! and as a result i spilled alot…ouch. by the end of our (relatively) short 2 hour run, i scratched up my entire right arm and leg, and i think i poked my chest hard with the end of my handle-bar after a spill, because its kind of sore. ack. anyhoo, good run…*golfclap*. fish took his baja on a brief off-road sand run for a bit while we tracked down a place to nosh near the waterside (we wanted seafood). we eventually ate at the pirates cove (yar!) yumming down fresh seafood and sending people to the plank. and afterwards, we got caught in a flash storm. gah! we spent a good 15 minutes tracking down a place to pick up something to cover our bikes, bought a car cover from an auto store, tied down our bikes, and rode cautiously down the highway…looking back every 5 minutes to make sure the cover didnt blow off and land on someones windshield, blindly sending them over a cliff to a fiery death. yea. we grabbed coffee and chess at our summit starbucks pitstop (2 wins out of 3…woo!), then back to the city for me. word.
SUNDAY
i dont really remember sunday, so i probably did nothing.
MONDAY
monday was a chillout/bday party at derricks (the first of two). pretty nice way to end the memorial weekend. his brooklyn pad was excessively big, which made me want to hurt him…i think the living room was the size of my apartment. it was pretty chill, with people mellowing out on drinks and hanging on the roof (that we werent supposed to be on). and right before i was about to leave, grace showed up too from rhode island. which was pretty coo since i hadnt seen her in years. derricks second partys next weekend, so maybe ill turn up for that. its at the maritime hotel, but i wont hold that against him.
No pictures of the injuries? I think half of all subaru baja’s get sold to mountain bikers.
HARRR!
ha…the injuries werent anything worth showing. maybe ill get some pic-worthy ones this weekend. as for the baja, the back gate could be a little longer. just barely clears the wheel of a full-sus bike (if u deflate the rear tires)
