Vamos a la playa (Ft. Tilden)
I've been to the beach once this summer and it was a fantastic. It was a great sunny day, the beach wasn't to crowded and the water was delicious - perfect temperature and enough action to do some body surfing or just bob with the waves. I'm going back tomorrow. If you'd like to join me, send me an email and I'll wait at one of two points for you.
WE SAW "Premium Rush" today
I enjoyed it--sensational photography & special effects. Most of it took place on the West Side from Columbia down to Chelsea and in Chinatown.

The review calls the Harlem Hill in Central Park "steep." Let that be your guide to the veracity of the rest of the review.

My bike died: Specialized free frame warranty or 20% off new bike?
I need some advice. The carbon back fork on my 2009 Specialized Dolce Triple Comp cracked a few weeks ago. I took it to Toga(where I bought it) and they referred it to their Specialized rep, who said that Specialized could send me a 2012 Dolce Comp replacement frame for free, or I could get 20% off a brand new Ruby or Amira.
I completed the B18 and the A19 SIGs on my Dolce, and now after having ridden 4,000 miles already this year, I think I'm ready to invest in a fully carbon bike. Also, I'd love to upgrade to a compact Ultegra, though I've been quite satisfied with my 105 triple.
At the same time, I need a bike soon. I'm signed up for a century on 9/1 and ENY.
