Plus Side: Got to go on a 50 mile ride with George Hincapie and 50 other people on high end bikes, hung with the pack, out-climbed some folks, got invited to train with a pretty good team and redeemed the usefulness of Reynolds 531 Steel in the face of Carbon Fiber, not to mention made a lot of great contacts for branching out into bicycle-magazine writing.
Minus Side: it was ass-cold outside and at the edge of my envelope to hang with the pack. And now, the next day, I feel sick.
About Me
- De.Corday
- Charlote de Corday, a figure of the French Revolution, was a rebel against the rebellion, an individual in a war of sides. Charlotte de Corday has thus become my nom de guerre as an individual caught up in a world that speaks in borders rather than content. I am quite simply a student of philosophy and theories of government, a musician and a coffee addict, returned to my native urban New Jersey to find a place rapidly gentrifying, changing, growing--whatever you want to call it, only to move to Brooklyn and act as the other side of that coin. I am trying to make art after four years of academy, trying to feel for an ever elusive home... also trying to keep my car running. Trying to live and work and create in a way that each is copacetic to the other two. I currently write freelance and work for a newspaper in Lower Manhattan.
