Back in the Saddle

I haven't been riding much this year. Got out of shape, gained weight and was too embarrassed to face myself, fighting the gears...

BUT, I am doing better and I am back on the bike. Doing baby steps so to say. The technical skills are mostly still there but my fitness.....(no comment)

I went to Swanson today and it was gorgeous. I have missed out on so much.

But, I am trying to get back in shape and I would love to race again next season, so my preparations have just begun:)

Ride On

Futur VeloCC JD

Some people already know but it is about time to spill the beans.

I am going back to school. I found out that my employer, pays a good chunk of my tuition and I decided that I want to go back to Law School.
I found an online program, Concord Law School which allows me to work full time and go to school.
It is a four year program and I want to go for the Juris Doctorate Degree Program. (JD)

After that I could sit for the Bar, but that is loooong ways down the road.

Anywho, that is my plan. Pretty crazy, but I can't get it out of my head and I have to give it a try.

Gas prices

I know that everybody is complaining about the gas prices here and I know it does hurt to fill up the car, but I talked to my Mom about the the prices in Germany.
I found this web site
Gas prices in Germany

And a 1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liter

So.... 1 liter of German gas is 1,542 €. So 1 US gallon would be 1,542 € x 3.78541178=5.8371€

So far, not so scary yet, now we have to to the conversion into $, comes out

at a gallon for $9.0580.

That is the price everybody pays over "there" every day. And yes they don't like it, but they come up with ideas to conserve energy.

For example drive a Smart Car It gets 40/45 mpg. And it is cute.



There is always the old and trusted bike
