Leesburg Bakers Dozen


Almost 2 weeks ago I did the Leesburg Bakers Dozen, Saturday, 11am to midnight. It was on a cattle farm, so we watched out for cow pies. It was fun and fast with a lot of log piles to roll over. Check out the action shot! (Its been a while since I have done any serious riding, so excuse the technique).

The camp site was unlike one I had seen before. With crazy double decker tent trailers and most camp sites having SUVs and generators. Cars were left running so people could hear their car stereos.... Anyway, it was fun and may lead to another race at the beginning of June in West Virginia (mid-way between here and Bev's parents).

New York

A week ago we spent the weekend in New York. From here it is a 4.5 hour bus ride, and $25 (on Vamoose). We arrived Friday night, and left Sunday afternoon. We basically walked and saw what we could by foot. We walked from south Manhattan Island to Central Park and part way back on Saturday. On Sunday we started again in south Manhattan, by the Statue of Liberty dock, and walked through Greenwich Village and other areas around there along the east shore of the island. Among the sites we saw Radio City Music Hall, Empire State Building, various Trump Buildings, a Scottish parade, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square and:


The Ghostbusters library, also known as the New York Public Library.












Belvedere Castle in Central Park. Original weather station for New York.













John Lennon Memorial in central Park.













Wall St.








Statue of Liberty from docks by Wall St.













So true.
