It seems I have been slacking..

So I have not written a post in almost 10 days! Wow, thats bad.
Lets see, How about we start at the beginning..

Last Tuesday I did my first Tuesday Night Worlds with the group out of Marmora, for this ride I decided to hang in the back to learn how the group operates and the route they use. I got dropped twice, once before the 83 bridge and fought back to get to them at the Wawa, Then again somewhere in Woodbine. But I was fine for the last sprint on Mt Pleasant-Tuckahoe Rd. That was awesome and I got to meet some new people!
It sure is humbling to be in groups like this, I hope I can pull on the front longer before too long.


Then Wednesday I just went out for a really foggy 10 mile loop staying in Middle, it was fun but foggy and kind of lonely.


Thursday I took myself out for a late start 17 mile over the NWW bridge, and through Stone Harbor, Just a nice relaxing ride..



Friday I left my house but before I knew it I was actually holding a fairly high avg speed so I called it my "Ghetto TT", it was from my house, down Bayberry to NWW Blvd, across 9, down shunpike. I left off at 12KM and ran a nice 22:38 12km, that included 6 lights and a stopsign! Not too bad, I want to run the Cape May Time Trial in April and I figure this is an ok gauge for that.. I am going to run the actual course sometime soon.


I didn't ride for the weekend or Monday instead my next ride was today, My second Tuesday night worlds. I took a few pulls on the front and was doing good until the last one when my legs just gave out and I lost contact with the group. I thought that I could catch them at the intersection of Webster and Washington but I had just missed them, so I hustled down 550 and Petersburg rd to catch them halfway down Mt Pleasant-Tuckahoe and held on for the rest of the ride after that.. I don't know what happened.. I guess I just need to take fewer pulls until my legs come back to me! Oh well, live and learn.





Now that that is out of the way.. It is time for the discussion of Bike & Build! I have hit $1600, I need another 400 by the 19th of April and I am confident I can get it! But I need your help getting the word out, so please send everyone you know to my profile at www.bikeandbuild.org/rider/5565 and ask that they help me out!


I would also love to trade my photographic abilities for donations, I am really hoping to be able to help some of you get photos of you or your car or you and your bike.. Anything really. All you need to do is let me know what you are looking for and we can work out a deal for you to donate to Bike & Build in exchange for my time!! 
Seriously, if you have never seen my work, I have a little bit online at www.20bphotography.com, I urge you to take me up on this offer, you will never get a chance for photos this cheap again!


Well, that is all I have for you today.. Until next time.
