I have a new roommate
I was standing in the kitchen, preparing some cereal and re-convincing myself not to ride to Manchester before putting some serious carbs in myself. I was wearing my jogging shorts and listening to my ipod. That is the extent of what I was wearing. As in, almost nothing.
and in walks Brian. Brian went to culinary school, did the chef thing for a while but now is a manager at a fashionable clothing store so he can have weekends off. Totally understandable.
I ran upstairs and put a shirt on, ditching the ipod.
Have I mentioned it's about 7:30am? We chatted a bit then Brian left for work. He seems nice =)

So I changed the day's schedule. I'm still going to ride my bike, but I'm going to drive to Manchester first, then leave it there. This way I can get a good carb filled lunch before doing SEVENTY FIVE MILES OH GOD. I was planning my trip last night in two segments: 20 miles, black belt class, 45 miles, when math smacked me upside the head. No, that's only 65 miles. you need 20 and 55.
That frightened the shit out of me, especially with a black belt class in the middle. Then I thought of doing the first 20 with my karate gear on my back.
So the new plan is: drive to karate, get (lots of) food, then:
do most of my favorite fifty, ride down rt13, then catch rt130 and make my way home.
Here's the ride on bikely and here's the elevation:
i'll probably take breaks. I'm so excited!
