Bike ride to Nyack Bushwhacking our way up Henry Hudson Drive

The plan was to do a ride up to Nyack, ridicule lycra-clad roadies at the Runcible Spoon, and then head back home in time to not watch the Oscars.

Here's Henry Hudson Drive--the portion of it that was rideable:

And here's us navigating the rest of Henry Hudson Drive, a veritable tree slaughter fest:

I heard a lot of "FUCK!" and "I'm totally over this!" along the way and I think the general mood at the time can be summed up with "Waahhhhh!" but I also think that in retrospect we can all agree it was a grand time. So we had to scrap Nyack as a destination because of all the lost time, but we lucked out and got our fill of lycra after all:

And a close-up of Cara's look of abject horror at the team of identically dressed road warriors that passed by single file:

Fall Delhi, NY Pics

It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd take it back to Delhi, NY. I've been sitting on these pictures for a while, and finally had some time on my hands to take a look. Carl, Cara, and I found these spores in the cornfield, and shook them out. Good, clean, fun until our allergies starting acting up!
