The Canal Classic

A handful of us Ithacans went to Little Falls in the Mohawk Valley over the weekend to compete in the Canal Classic 2006 bike race, including yours truly. It was good fun and really hard, especially since it was pretty windy and I rode all alone the whole way (~54 km). I guess I was pretty pathetic towards the end as I found myself yelling, in Icelandic, at the wind. Anyhow, much to my surprise I walked away with a prize! It might have had something to do with the number of participants in my category *hóst hóst* but what the hell, who cares?? A plaque's a plaque, right?

Much less surprisingly, Shan also got a prize. We're so cool ;)

The night before the race we spent at a friend's parents' house. For inexplicable reasons we ended up watching 'Hostel'. I'm still having bad dreams. Yikes.

Engin ummæli:
