Hello, Internet. 1

HI THERE INTERNET.  Considering my last post was May 26, I’m sure that most people have removed this from their blog reader or, if they are living in 2004 and don’t know what RSS is, have stopped checking it on a frequent basis.

Riding Bicycles at 27 MPH Around Somerset County For Three Hours 2

You’re probably looking at this title and thinking “YEAH RYAN, WE GET IT. YOU THINK YOU’RE AWESOME FOR THE BICYCLE RIDING”.  Not true.  This race was quite difficult, and I am really glad that I’m good at writing macros in Excel and doing website things.

Commute Communique – March 8 2012

My commute was interesting for the first time in a whole. Thus, a commute communique. I got yelled at three times – once by Dylan, once by Collin Huston, and once by a (potentially) angry stranger. Dylan and Collin were pleasant. I rode home in shorts and a short sleeve jersey. Yes! I rode 112 ...
