I’ve never eaten candy… and a Boeing 727 fly-by.
June 4, 2007 2:13 pmHi folks,
We haven’t chatted much lately.
My appologies.
For starters, I need to clarify a few things that I said in my last post. In that post, I told you guys that I ate an entire bag of Jelly Beans all by myself. In the slew of comments that followed, I also said that this happens every so often in between big races and sometimes I even eat other candies such as, but not limited to: CandyCorn, Swedish Fish, Valentines Hearts, Mike N Ike’s, Hot Tamales, and Gummy Bears..
Well… um… I was totally joking. Yeah, just a big joke. I’ve never, and I mean NEVER eaten Jelly Beans or any other type of high calorie, white sugar, super big athletic no-no, candy, in or outside of competition. So you folks just forget I said that. Ok?
I don’t know what I was thinking with that last post… Jeez… It must have just been crazy talk or maybe it was all that booze talking or something like that.
Well… let’s see… on to other things. I’m currently in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, pedaling away at the Commerce Bank Triple Crown or whatever they’re calling this thing nowadays. I’ve been here a few days now, but not without a brief few days in the Sommervile, New Jersey, area for the Tour of Sommerville Criterium, and then on to the Washington DC area for last Saturday’s CSC Invitational. While in Washington DC I managed to get out for a few bike path rides… (particularly because there is no where else to ride in that city). I did however get to tool around for a ride smack dab in the middle of the city and snap a picture off for you guys.
That’s the Washington Monument… and judging by the looks of the bridge I was riding on, you get the picture of the training around there…
I did stumble across the bike path that takes you right by Washington Reagan National Airoprt… and I mean right by the airport. Watch the video and see…
Maverick to base… requesting a fly-by.
As for the Lancaster Classic… I was asked to type up a race report for the Jittery Joe’s team site. When it gets posted, I’ll pass the link on your way and you can check in out if you want. And if you don’t… then that’s fine as well.
Alright folks, that’s all for now. I need to go eat some candy. Uh, er, I mean fruit. Crap. I was thinking out load again.
Take care.
