Catskillzzzzz and road biking

Two weekends ago I went hiking in the Catskills on the Escarpment trail. The leaves and colors are changing around here so it's a pretty clutch time to be outside. Here's some pictures:

Leaves!



This weekend I borrowed my roommate John's road bike and went for a cruising ride in the farm-ish area around Troy. This was my first ride on a true road bike and that thing was pretty darn squirrelly. Going from having tires that are more than 2 inches wide to tires that are a 1/4" wide is humbling. Gravel, potholes, and curbs all seem like imminent death. But that thing flies. I think I hammered out 20 miles in about an hour and a half. Not fast fast, but by mountain biker standards definitely ludacris speed. I hope everyone else is enjoying Fall!
