We Are Alive
Well, we made it to NJ and even all the way into the city. And we are still alive!
The drive was...long. I hit the wall around 5 hours in and wanted out of the car BAD. I was bonking. :) But we made it and it wasn't so bad.
After some dinner we decided to go into the city. We drove on the Henry Hudson Parkway where the bike course is (out and back, not too difficult) and then tried to drive through Central Park, which of course didn't work. All in all though we are feeling much better about things I do believe. Tomorrow will be race meeting, packet pickup and bike drop off after a little training. I think we better get up early. :)
My initial impression of the city is that it's BIG. Wow. And we are just in one small part - just one borough! It's mind boggling! We are not in Kansas anymore! I can't imagine living here truthfully. But I'm sure there are plenty of people who couldn't imagine living where I do.
Regardless, I leave you with a picture of O at his beloved Hoss's...

That looks like the Hoss's in Murraysville. Are you sure you are in NJ/NY? Good luck in your competition tomorrow. Stay on course, focused, and have FUN!

This is the Hoss's is DuBois, PA (pronounced doo-BOYS for those not from Central PA). It's a far cry from the Big Apple!
