Bike Ride in Dover







Last Sunday I was finally able to get to the sea with my bike. I took the train to Dover in the morning and spent all day riding North East along the coast. The weather was great and the coast line is really beautiful. In general the ride was quite flat, but at times I began to regret my 46-15 setup. Especially on the 17% climb to the top of the white cliffs. I was just able to see France from the top of the cliffs. I was so close that my cell phone told me I was in France. I'll never fall asleep on the train again. How confusing. I also rode through the town of Sandwich. Not exciting, and not a sandwich to be bought, I guess the police were out in force. My day trip was a great way to celebrate the first really nice weekend in Spring. on another note I am beginning to figure out my summer plans. So far it looks like I will be in Southern California doing something with motorcycles for the first few months. The last month I hope to ride across the US in preparation to bring a bike to England.

Back in Action

After a very relaxing break filled with skiing and not enough work I am back in London. I arrived to 3 inches of snow which was surprising to say the least. I am in a great mood this week as I have recently registered for the Dublin marathon in October of this year. I have never run a marathon before and I can't wait. I couldn't resist posting a picture of the Chevelle that I saw outside of Glenwood Springs.
