ms bike tour NYC

i might have had a lapse of insanity - because i actually signed up for the ms bike tour this year. i made a huge deal about pledging to do 60 miles and then totally didn't train for it.

that sunday morning, nerves were on edge as i knew i wasn't ready AT ALL to do it. we all wake up, and it's pouring buckets! you ask - was it really raining that bad? let me tell you - i would have been drier if i was swimming in a pool.

because of the weather, it was a great excuse to cut the 60 miles down to 30. well that and we had a late start because danso got a flat tire! so, last ones to start, pouring rain, about to get pneumonia - i'm darn proud i did 30 miles!

we decided to bail on the free "food" after the tour, if you could even consider it that - starbucks coffee and protein bars/cold bagels... so we jumped back on our bikes in search for, of course, cheeseburgers!

11am on a sunday morning and tired of biking around, we settled on a little corner spot on 9th ave - delta grill.

a random find by danso actually (pictured in the red shirt) - but pretty good. its kind of like a cajun/creole bar-brunch spot. they even had live music. danso got chicken fried steak, reggie got a pulled pork sandwich, and melvin and i got cheeseburgers! (and i got a side of mac 'n cheese for the table to share hahaha)




i love this picture of melvin chowing down. he is eating that thing so fast it is a whirlwind! slow down melvin!! hahaha
