Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do,
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage -
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'd look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two.
..it sucked.
This semester I signed up for a course entitled, "Feature Writing- Nature/Outdoors." Hoping to become a ski journalist, I thought this class would help me write about my experiences on and around the snow.
It's not exactly what I expected.
This past Wednesday, my professor took our class to Local Motion, on the waterfront of Lake Champlain in downtown Burlington. This non-profit group works hard to promote healthy lifestyles and eco-friendly choices. Our afternoon started off with conversation with Chapin Spencer who works tirelessly for the organization. After he gave us a bunch of information, we got suited up with helmets and assigned bikes, headed out to the Colchester Causway by way of the Burlington Bike Path. My good friend Kayla and I decided to rent one of the two tandem bicycles.
Let the fun begin.
My helmet didn't fit. It was cold. I refused to take of my uni hat because it was cold. We tried reaaaally hard to look cute regardless! Ugh
Little pit stop that "bridges" Burlington and Colchester.
I recognized this from LJ jumping off of it at the end of one of the Meathead movies.
A little break before we turned around. This was a strip with water on either side. We swapped the tandem with some eager (ha) classmates at this point.
Artsy.
Trying to be artsy, ride my bike, and take pictures. Fail.
KAYLA!
SCARY!
I really suck at this photog thing.
Wheel.
Sun shining on New York across the lake.
Again.
I really love when the sun streaks through in selective areas.
Some cool art that I sat and appreicated after surviving a TEN mile bike ride!
If you're ever in Burlington, come check Local Motion out!
I have to go ice my butt and legs some more.
Until then I'm (more than usual)
textually frustrated.
