I think the last time I saw you it was on a road bike. Did you sell it?

Different Jim, but we have met before, at least once, maybe twice. Did the Stewart Super Six Pack when it was an inferno and I might have been the first one out at 3 laps. Came the closest I have ever have having heat exhaustion, I stopped sweating and felt cold and somehow managed to recover and finish the lap and was smart enough to call it a day. It was pretty scary, chatted with you for a bit after I was done, there's a good chance I was babbling due to the effects(affects?) of the heat. I think we may have met at a NYSE/NYFIX thing as well, when NYSE bought NYFIX I went with the broker/dealer to Convergex but in the 9 months before the deal closed I went to a bunch of NYSE parties and met a ton of NYSE people. There is a solid chance I made that up or imaged it and merged the heat exhaustion into work somehow.
 
Easing into the month with another minimum pieces of flair ride.

Went to take some pics, managed to get this nice candid selfie before getting a message there is no more room on the phone (Shitter's full)

Too many chihuahua and beer pics I guess. Glad to find this out now though, and not next week in VT.
 
Jumping in here ... going to figure out how to use Strava so bear with me but so far:

Day 1, mtb, Sprain 1:31:44
Day 2, road, City Island/Orchard Beach 1:32:10

I have a sneaking suspicion that some of these days are going to involve me riding around in large circles on my evening commute back from the train station but oh well, an hour is an hour right??
 
Going to NYC Monday morning like 5:30 wheels down early. Ideal locale for you 31/31 folks. Message me if you're interested.

Woke up super early because my mattress sucks. Shoulder pain back pain you name it I got it. Ordered one of those mattress in a box from tuft and needle while I was half asleep (not telling the wife). Anyway couldn't fall back asleep and I have to much Bbq to eat, beer to drink, and swimming to do so figured I get my hour out of the way early and pretty much crawling cause I'm so sore. Headed to the closest dirt near me which is west Essex trail. Did a short 7 miles stopped and get some donuts for the wife and kids and now I'm ready to start my day.

I was really interested in heading G to hell but they put up a fence.

So the plan was to get up early and beat the rush on Gotham's bike paths.
Early start didn't happen, but it worked out well traffic wise. Aside from the ends, the greenway was about as empty as I have ever seen it.

At the south end, folks were all lined up for boat tours, and on the north end everyone was already set up for the day and had their bbqs going. Some of it smelled really good. Was tempted to stop and make new friends.

Day 3, mtb, Mahlon 2:48:27, 10 miles and just over 1300 ft of climbing. I think we hit every gravelly fire-road uphill the park had to offer. Some it felt like twice. That's what you get for winging it! Strava file to come once I sort that out. It's just all collecting on my Garmin.
