Magnificent Nose

The blog has been up and running at the new address for a while now. The neilfein.com address will get you there for now, but the new url is magnificantnose.com. I've been updating it on Mondays and Wednesdays,and haven't missed a day yet. Check it out!

Moving the site soon

I'm moving this blog to WordPress soon. I have an upcoming project I need to learn WP for, so I'm testing it out here on a low-traffic site. If I find I prefer Blogger, I may switch it back. Everything will be at neilfein.com, as it is now -- (I hope).

You'll notice that the site looks a little different, and any google-specific stuff may not work (following, et cetera). Links within the site may also break; WP and Blogger use different systems for generating URLs.

If you see anything weird, let me know.

Tours

I'm having my morning coffee, and in a few minutes, I'll pack and leave on a 4-day bike tour. This seems like a good time to mention that, yesterday, I finished the journal of my previous tour:

From the Charles River to the East River

Boston to New York City, with a stop in West Hartford
332 miles (534 km) over 8 days from May 22, 2010 to May 29, 2010

Please, have a look and let me know what you think!

Sunny camping

I love this picture!


Cooking dinner at the Chisel Branch campsite, near the Goose Creek River Lock on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail trail.

Martha and Neil ride again!

We're planning to ride a 3-day tour out of Martha's parents' house. We're still deciding on the route (although it will likely involve part of the C&O Canal trail), but we're planning to camp. We did some of the packing before leaving home, and Martha's bike looks weird loaded with a tent and cooking gear:
