A Year of HYPERLIVING: Liveblog: Bike ride to Montauk

Forecast for the Future

"Every individual without exception bears a potential writer within himself. The reason is that everyone has trouble accepting the fact that he will disappear unheard of and unnoticed in an indifferent universe, and everyone wants to make himself into a universe of words before it's too late.

Once the writer in every individual comes to life (and that time is not that far off), we are in for an age of universal deafness and lack of understanding."

- Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Liveblog: Bike ride to Montauk

We're off the train and now in line for the ever important "last chance to pee while not pedaling". It is absolutely fucking beautiful out. Sun and sun and sun, and temperatures I believe around 65 or so. There appear to be folks of pretty varying skill levels, though at least gearwise a considerable percentage seem to care about how they ride (really nice bikes, bikeshorts/jerseys, clip pedals etc). I slept for a solid 10 minutes on the train so that pushes me up around 100 min of sleep. Woohoo. ok, now i'm up.
