I just wonder if it will be viewable in New York City.  How can I answer this question?  Just a quick Google/Oogle away

Biking and Dash Snow

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

There were talks, dreams, and quizzical attempts at biking across the United States this summer.  After making a vow to bike everywhere, weather permitting, last Friday I realized that crossing America wouldn’t be as easy as I thought.

I’m not saying I couldn’t accomplish the task.  I’m just saying it would take me a hell of a long time.  My bike would chase down the sun and my time as a studious 23 year old would dwindle down… quickly.  Did I mention I have the knees of a 72 year old?

I registered for summer classes, Astronomy(?) and African Civilization (fuck yeah), at Hunter College.  For a month I’ll be commuting to and from school, four days a week.  Not accounting for other errands, that equals a minimum of roughly 10 miles a day.

There was a time when I strongly felt there was a possibility of biking for 100 miles a day.  That notion has been thrown over the Pulaski Bridge but it’s something to work toward.  So, that being said I plan on doing the New York Century in September. What the hell, maybe next summer I’ll pursue the Pacific.  Oh wait… No I won’t…

While sitting in class yesterday someone told me Dash Snow died.  Then they (Andrew Holt) sent me a picture of the Wikipedia entry.
