Bicycling 2002



This years goals are to ride a full century, spend 4 days riding on the C&O canal towpath, and completing the MS150. Unfortunately I accomplished none of these goals. Most of my cycling was done with my coworkers and I lost my job in March. While I did continue riding with some of my laid off coworkers through May after a while things just slowed down and ptered out. I did partake in one cycling event howerver antd that was the Faces of America ride put on by World T.E.A.M. Sports. This was a ride from Ground Zero in Manhattan to the Pentagon in Arlington and I was a member of the Moto Safety Crew.
