A few final images from the New York trip and an announcement. First the announcement.
On Sunday, April 25 (that's eleven days) all VBA in (on?) solid standing are invited to participate in the 30th ANNUAL running of the Toe Jam 1/2 Marathon. You will recall that last year we initiated this event in order to keep the steak alive and drew a record three participants (including the RCVman who ended up posting the days best time of 1:50:15) See this post for more info and course description.
Yes, there is another race calling themselves the B.I. Half taking place the day before, but I absolutely refuse to pay $50 for a local half mary, even if the cause is a good one. So I will go out Saturday night on the scooter and mark the course, and then set up an aid station at the half way point and invite you to come and join in the fun. There are no awards, no ugly t-shirts, no sugar water handed out by volunteers and no waivers to sign. It is the old course. It is 13.1 rugged and hilly miles. It hurts a little. If you are a wimp, sleep in and then have a big breakfast. I love this course. It calls me every year to come and test. There is no hiding. We start at 0800 from Bethany Lutheran Church on Finch.
Albany images: The spare Wheels of the Masters at the Tour Battenkill. Yes, there is a sticker on the back of David's loaner helmet too. The tranquil Lake Thompson, site of another Move the Rock run (video coming soon). RCVman checks the departure times from his iPhone at JFK.

KLM,
I spotted the decal late on Saturday night. It will remain there for posterity or at least until the ends curl.
Good luck on your 30th consecutive B.I. Half. Sounds like a great tradition.
You should come and join us. If numbers hold from last year I can guarantee a top five finish!!!!!
