so i graduate university in a few weeks, still hasn't really set in though.
i just finally finished what was a week-long moving process to a new apartment in a more rural part of New England. I'm pretty excited about it. I have to take a summer class to complete my graduation (but I still walk/get diploma etc., its sort of on the honor system), and I decided in an effort to make my life and the world better that I would bike to campus. Where I now live is about 16mi. away and it's going to be tough at first but I'm fairly good about routines and I presume that after the first month the "route" to class will become easy on me physically.
I have a good friend who's into cycling so on his tip I picked up this bike a couple weeks ago:
A Cannondale Synage. It's the only company left that hand-makes bikes inside the USA, which I appreciate, and it has a sick good warranty program (unlimited lifetime work at the place of purchase), so basically I should never have to buy another bike unless somehow this one gets mega outdated or the bike shop I bought it from closes down, which is unlikely in New Hampshire (healthiest state in the Union!)
Whoops, guess not. (http://www.startribune.com/local/17051421.html)
I've been doing some 10 mile rides around town getting more familiarized with my surroundings to get used to it, and it's been pretty fun. The weather has been great which has of course helped. The bike ran me $1,400 including a pump, locks, and riding shorts. I hope that with the gas money I save by riding the bike should "pay for itself" by the time next winter rolls around. I also must admit that I'm not 100% on when to switch my gears for the front and back but I'm hoping with experience I'll figure it out.
Pokerwise I didn't put in too many hands this month and experimented with a lot of different game types. I'm mega bombed with school given finals are comping up and I just want to do it right and get out of here so I can start my life. My results were (as per usual lately?) lackluster, but to be honest I think I probably did better than I should of given my mindstate and approach to the hands I played this month. Here's a graph:
This summer I'm hoping to hit up Vegas, Toronto, San Antonio and Nantucket for some vacationing/family visits. If anyone is into cycling in the area and wants to go for a ride I'll probably rent a bike in a few of the locations, and am definitely brining my bike with me to Nantucket.
Hope all is well out in the interwebs,
-Nolan.

there once was a man from Nantucket...
Maybe I'll get a bike. My GF wants me to get one so we can ride together. I realized yesterday that I need to get a new outdoor hobby that is fun and easy to do, to stay in shape and to give my eyes a rest from all these screens.
You've inspired me. My GF will be happy =)
Looks like you're doing good. congrats |

wow good luck with that daily routine. I had to do like a 40 min walk to school every morning at 7 am. And that fucking sucked. but a 16 mile bike ride makes that look like the kiddie park. |
