Five Boro Bike Tour = 40 + 9 Miles
On Sunday I participated in the Five Boro Bike Tour with Jen & Matt. It was great. A lot of stopping and starting again, but that is what happens when 32,000 bikers are involved. I was excited to wear my Syracuse jersey
. Thank you Aunt Heidi & Uncle Steven! We began in downtown Manhattan and finished in Staten Island. Highlights included breezing down the FDR, meeting Jason & Ellen for lunch in Williamsburg, cool sprays of cold air along the water (while on the Belt Parkway), and climbing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (hello hill!). Then of course I had to bike up 9 more miles to my apartment after a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. Looking forward to summer rides. I'm all set :-)

Getting ready for the 5 Boro Bike Tour (18 miles)
Tonight my bike started in one home & ended in another. The weather was overcast & misty but I wanted to get in a good solid ride, since next weekend I am riding in the 5 Boro Bike Tour. Well I dusted off my bike from the long winter and did a few laps in Central Park. 18 miles in the end! Left my bike in my new apartment on the Upper West Side. Wow I like a half a block from Central Park, folks! Amazing. So excited to clearly get in more biking this summer.
Hope that is enough preparation for next Sunday.

Who wants to join me?
Just read about this event in NY Times Sunday Magazine (thank you Luz).
Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle
May 13 - August 15, 2010
It's taking place over at the new Museum of Arts and Design. Great museum, as I was over there last year for an exhibit. Looking forward to this one!
"Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle displays the designs of six internationally renowned bicycle builders whose work in metal, as well as graphics and artifacts, elucidate this refined, intricate and deeply individual craft. Organized by Michael Maharam, owner of the eponymous textile company and an avid bicycle collector, along with master builder Sacha White of Vanilla Bicycles in Portland, Oregon, this survey is presented as part of the MADProjects exhibition series, which explores emerging trends and innovations in the design world.
The twenty-one handbuilt bicycles exhibited sit squarely at the intersection of design, craft, and art, and include a range of contemporary designs: fixed-gear, road racing, cyclocross, mountain, and commuter bicycles, as well as the stripped-down radonneur, designed exclusively for long-distance racing. The exhibition features bicycles by: Mike Flanigan, Alternative Needs Transportation (A.N.T); Jeff Jones, Jeff Jones Custom Bicycles; Dario Pegoretti, Pegoretti Cicli; Richard Sachs, Richard Sachs Cycles; J. Peter Weigle, J. Peter Weigle Cycles; and Sacha White, Vanilla Bicycles."

Eating Animals
Last night Sara and I went to hear Jonathan Safran Foer speak about his new book Eating Animals
. It was also a Hazon event & launch for the summer ride. I was able to catch up with some folks I rode with last summer & buy some great products that the Adamah Farm cans & pickles. Time to start training & fundraising for this year!
