Lean Back...

My planned Sunday bike route (zoom in once for a way better view) that will take me from my front door and hopefully land my ass right on the beach in Far Rockaway after 40 miles.

I am crossing my fingers that the 'Greenway' that is supposed to exist between miles 20 and 35 actually is completed and open and truly car-free

To the beach.

In Bethany Beach, DE for the rest of the week for our yearly family vacation. I have spent all or most of August here for my entire life. It is my happy place, minus the jellyfish sting I am nursing on my arm already (I am pretty allergic).

Plan is to swim and bike a lot (80 mile ride planned tomorrow!), run a little, and spend the rest of the time on the beach catching up on my growing reading list (Water for Elephants, Twilight, finishing up Sizwe's Test- READ IT!)

Had some fun sitting in traffic on the way down:



Too bad this woman wouldn't play along and pose for our camera...but I guess she probably gets a lot of attention with her snazzy little ride.
