| Hey Bruno, how about some stats? How far is the commute? Are you still riding the fixed gear? How can we persuade you to step up to the world of high-speed road riding? What's the next step up for you (long distance, multi-day ride where you will show the world what you've got? Is there blood in the streets in the town of New Haven? |

mostly fixed gear commutin' and in town errands.. i ride my geared whip on longer rides. (did 80 or so west of boston a few days ago)--avg. speed around 20-22 over hill and dale. next week i'm gonna ride that 5 boro little ride in nyc just so i can ride over the verrazano narrows bridge and drink beer afterwards at the party on staten island. i really like ridin' kinda fast through traffic in manhattan and cruisin' central park lookin' at bikes and girls. i just ride for fun, but can go pretty fast when i want to. i'm tryin' to ride 10,000 miles this year. i rode a little over 6000 last year. i want to perfect my unicycle skills as well. i may go to thailand to ride this summer. that's pretty much my cyclin' resume.

| Cbcbd..I'm on the hudson side of westchester..so 35-40 mins or so with no traffic to stamford. (Unfortunately I think at 7 a.m. there will be plenty of traffic!).. Rode 62 miles on the road down in Miami on saturday. Awesome ride...from South Beach out to Key Biscayne, Coconut grove and then back up A1a to the Avenutura area and back down to SoBe. Should be out in the woods tomorrow morning at 7:40 for an hour. |

| Had a glorious ride this morning out in the woods for 75 mins or so of non-stop hard-as* riding, rocks, boulders, log rolls, ladders and some awesome hills. Should get out tomorrow a.m. at 7 and also sat and sun afternoons....with some trail work on sat during the ride. Need to rebuild the bridge that got washed away during the 8" deluge a few weeks ago. |

| No Problem, Goblin..PM me if you'd like me to clarify some of those....there are some good hills in those rides I told you about...Nothing extremely long..but lots of up and down. Got out Friday and Saturday mornings. Trails are in great shape now that they've dried out from the deluge two weeks ago. Plan on getting out for a nice ride this afternoon as well. Edit: Road bike should be ready on Tuesday...Yeah....but our schedules might not work out goblin... |

| Got out again yesterday afternoon. Went over to Graham Hills Park to mix things up a bit. Was out on the trails for about 90 minutes....pretty much non-stop. Man, I'm beyond beat. 4 days of Mtn Biking in a row. Plus, if you include my runs....I've worked out now 5 days in a row, 6 out of the last 7. I'm resting today. Hopefully, mtn, bike tomorrow and road ride wednesday if all things work out!. |
