The Epic Ride

With out getting into the exact details of it, (for obvious reasons), on Saturday we ...

-- rode 54 miles in a loop, (no backtracking, no crossing any trail we had already used)
-- through 3 counties, (Sussex, Morris and Passaic)
-- over 8 hours
-- through 1 vicious lightning storm
-- burned 4+ gallons
-- plugged 2 flats
-- had 3 arguments, (i won all of them)
-- had one altercation with a sapling, (the sapling won)
-- did not get lost once

Beer helps.

L.B.I. continued

The rest of our stay in L.B.I. was great. Lots of sitting on the beach and watching the waves go by with the help of a cold beer and great friends. We saw Dogvoices on Sunday at JoePops and then The Nerds on Wednesday i think. The Nerds were great as usual. Dogvoices could be skipped.


This was the house we rented. It was really ideal. Just to the left of the flag you can see there is a set of stairs that appear to lead you to the top of the roof. There is another deck up there! You can see the Atlantic and Barnegat Bay from the same spot.


... in fact above and below are those two views.

Our peeps.

We're so cool.

Juli and Pete made a cameo. They brought the bad weather but then brought it back home with them.
