Wish me luck...

I am doing a bike tour of NYC this weekend. The event is called Bike New York. It is a 42 mile tour of the 5 boroughs. My older brother did it last year and talked me into it for this year. It should work out to about 3 hours in the seat. I am up to about 1.5 hour daily ride (22.5 miles) so I should be able to do it, but I'll take any luck I can get as well.

The website is http://www.bikenewyork.org

Have a wonderful time doing this! I have heard stories from a friend who did a bike marathon one year and just loved it.

Here's a little "Luck of the Irish" for you. I hope you have good weather and enjoy the day.

It must be a good weekend for endurance events.......my youngest daughter is running the Indy 500 Mini-Marathon on Saturday.

Good luck, Reset. You'll probably be sitting on a doughnut cushion afterward during all those hours at the computer. 3 hours on a bike? Y'ouch! Sad

Bumper, how lucky you have a golf game you just can't get out of.....uh huh! Wink

Thank you all.

I will have alot of technology with me. If there are "Hot Spots" in the rest areas, I will post my progress from my handheld computer. I will also have a GPS with moving map, trip computer, digital camera & of course, a digital cell phone. Yes, I still love gadgets.

Now to make this a record-length post... Cry

Work those thighs I will EEG, probably enough for three of us.

I will take pictures Rhune. This year you can not take them from bridges though. If I get any good ones, I will try to post them here.

Thanks LB, If I were younger, I'd be having a beer on the sidelines watching the race.

"BUMPS"? Do I look like a retired cop cop who loves golfing. Well, actually I do. Thanks MzW

You'll really hear me holler if I hit a bump and my seat falls off. But if you decide you want to pass on the links that day, I'll tow you as far as I can.

Thank you pocket, I'll be eating doughnuts before (Another Bumper similarity there) and sitting on a doughnut after.

Thanks pocket. Oops, I mean thanks MomNMaui, doh! Wrong again! MzW just poking fun, I appreciate the sentiments. My mother used to get my name wrong all the time. Every wrong guess on her part would only get her madder at ME. She still does it.

Reset, I am so proud that you are actually doing this. For you, I hope there are lots of downhills....as long as you don't have to backtrack on the way home. Wink
