Update:
2 weekends ago I did the Wallkill Valley 15-mile bike tour in the Catskills. Enjoyed it so much and did surprisingly well that I would do it again. They even served BBQ chicken lunch complete with 3 sides, Pepsi/Water/Beer, which was all you can eat. The rolling hills were a challenge (not going down of course) but it was a personal small goal of mine not to dismount my bike when I thought I could do it no more. But I had the "Little Engine that could" mind-frame and eventually reached the top of every hill still while still on the bike -- panting, heaving, thighs burning.. but its all good ;)
The amazing view of the mountains/farms (and service) does not compare to the 5-borough bike tour held that same day (from what I heard). The best part: it was a family event - 6 and 9 yr old nephew, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and bf all were present. If it wasn't for the severe allergies I'm SURE my other nephews would've gone. But they supported us by being there (congestion and all). Pics coming soon b/c I keep forgetting to take them from my brother.
I also tried a tiny tiny bit of BMX biking on this homemade ramp my brother built for the kids and I fell off in less than 2 seconds on it, from the highest point on that ramp (which is only 2 feet off the ground), fell screaming onto the next ramp a few feet by, landed on my right shoulder, scratch and bruised my upper thigh (I'm a genius for wearing shorts), and then looked around for Joaquin so he can see how funny that was.. and to have someone feel sorry for my broken ass. =D It's all good, I just won't be doing any BMXing until I have a body pad on.
Bring on the next challenge!
Oh and I bought a mountain bike the day before. So I'll be doing some more biking this season. Erf, I left it upstate. darn.
