Busy Week.

It's been a very busy week for me, with little time for any riding unfortunately. We took the eigth graders on a three day field trip to Wilmington, which was, as always, a ton of fun. We had a whirlwind tour of the area, hitting some historical sites, some museums, the aquarium, and downtown Wilmington. The history of the area has always intrigued me, I need to spend some time there without students, so I can truly explore. Myself along with three of my teacher counterparts decided to do a polar plunge into the ocean. Nice 50ish degree water was a wake up call late at night! In any case, here are some photos I took while there.

Five of a Kind, Suckas!


The trip to Wilmington was tempered by the fact that I had picked up my new frame and fork from FedEx Tuesday night before I left. While I was spending time chaperoning youngin's my frame and fork and pieces/parts were lying at home all lonely and such. This morning I got a jump start on the build process, but will have to drop it off at Cycletherapy later on today to have it finished off (lacking some key tools).



Today, while Erich is racing in New York, and other CLMers are riding for charity, I'll be stuck inside working on a massive paper I have yet to start. It's due Monday. I've done nothing. I always pay for procrastination as today it will be 70 and sunny, perfect for a ride.
