New York NY
So we left the Sublettes yesterday morning around 10am. My GPS was acting funny cause it led us on a bunch of dirt roads that went through what felt like the middle of a forrest.

We eventually made it Lincoln Park NJ were we were interviewed Ryan Baitzel from Jacksonville Chapel.
Then we headed to New York City, and of course hit some traffic, but the amazing thing was that people actually let me split lanes. Most people would get out of the way for me, and let me go through. It was like driving in California again.
We stopped by Noel’s place to drop off our stuff, then headed to Woodrow’s place to drop off the bikes. Parking is crazy here, but Woodrow had enough space to park the bikes in his garage, so that helped us a bunch cause now we don’t have to worry about our bikes ending up in the back of some truck in the middle of the night.
Woodrow introduced us to his friend Dave who recorded his album with him entitled 48. We hung out on their roof for a while and could see a pretty good view of NY. They have a pretty awesome place.


After dropping the bikes off we took the metro over to Times Square, and met up with Noel Stringfellow, who we are staying with.

From there we walked up to Madison Square Gardens and then took the train home.
The next day Nicole Hubler had a lay over here in NYC on her way to Spain, so met up with her by the Brooklyn Bridge, and walked over it to Lower Manhattan.

This is some of the construction at Ground Zero. There is not much to see there right now cause it is all being reconstructed. The only problem is that they are running out of money to complete all the projects, so it might be a while before they finish everything.

That is the Statue of Liberty in the background on the left.

You can barely tell but Ryan is on Wall St. & Brodway.

Which you may remember from National Treasure is right outside of Trinity Church.

Then we got some NY pizza, and headed back on the Subway. Nicole went to the airport to catch her plane, and we went to Central Park, and then back to Noel’s apartment.

I am sure there will be more updates from this amazing city, there is just so much to do here.
Miles Yesterday: 100
Total Miles: ~12,650

That’s actually a LOT of progress at Ground Zero compared to the few times I’ve been to NYC since 9/11. You made me miss NYC. Now I want to go back.
