Girl Run II
What is wrong with this picture?
- Someone has been spending a lot of time with Lefty – and it’s rubbing off…
- Blame it on mimosa in the afternoon…
- Someone is over-training…
- None of the above – it is a fashion statement… hmmmmm

Girl Run July 13, 2010
My wish for rain was granted, Ticket promised storms and she delivered… or was it the collective energy the girls generated by meeting in the woods just before dusk, or maybe all of the above?
Guthrie lead us in a reverse route up the hill and into the woods in her usual effortless, bird-like style. We hoped for showers, the ground was saturated but the rain had stopped coming down at the start of our run. As we entered the woods we experienced “the wet leaves dripping on us as if it only rained under the canopy of trees” phenomenon. We “woohhoed” and “hollered” in our primal tongues as we made our way through the trails, the earth so soft under foot, we began to maintain a magical rhythm! And then the skies opened up and it began to POUR!! Woohoo!! We celebrated and enjoyed pagan like cathartic nature rituals. Smudging, synergetic energy and the pure thrill of running like wild animals along single track in the rain were the highlights of my experience tonight. We all enjoyed the rain washing and drenching us as we stood on bridges over creeks allowing the water to wash away the stress of our daily lives.. off our bodies dripping down into the river to be washed away forever further down stream.

Birds of a feather flock… No sleep till Brooklyn… 5 Boro Bike Tour!!
May 3, 2010 by iggy · 7 Comments
Ultra lead us to the 5 Boro following Bucky’s awesome plan to start out in front with the VIP’s ahead of the pack – 35,000 bikers lined up in Battery Park. Brilliant…no, a genius plan! It also started with breakfast at the deli – $3.15 for a sandwich and coffee. The top level was all open seating – so much room they installed a fake garden in the middle of the room oh oh oh and private bathrooms too. I have never seen so much space and comfort available downtown before! Even better, the cyclists would be coming right up the road we were overlooking and we could jump in at will! So after a 4 am meet up in Branford (ouchie) a few text messages to Allstate and Gazelle (already in NYC with a friend – we’ll call him ‘Red Feather’….) Forrest, Ultra, Downhill, Mogul, JoAnne, John and I began the amazing logistics of traveling on the train with our bikes into the city with all the ‘other’ crazy bikers in the dark. 
Ultra wanted us to decorate our helmets so that we could see each other above the crowds and gave me the assignment if I was willing to accept it. So, 13 in the extended group needed props…. not a problem and it worked! Read more
