Troy Sebastian here. Pictured below is from a ride that Ana Lucia did from Piscataway to Whitehouse Station.. we're resting in Somerville here.

As you can notice, Ana Lucia is leaning on me.. she's pretty dependent of me. I don't mind, though. She can lean on me whenever she wants and needs.

Troy Sebastian here. I don't mean to get too hopeful, but I've been hearing some chatter chatter that a certain Trek Soho might be getting some new parts.

And why not? I think I deserve it! =)

Troy Sebastian here. I went for a long ride with Elaine and her father in Manhattan today. Not sure what my personal relationship is with the Raleigh yet, but I supposed I'll find out soon enough. He seems a little snobbish if you ask me.. he thinks he's better than me because he believes he's worth more. Whatevs!

Here we are riding to the city together.. it's nice to be the rider sometimes.



We stopped by the Hester Street Fair, and then rode through South Street Seaport. That's where we took this awesome picture of me.. oh yeah, and the Brooklyn Bridge is there too.



The four of us took the ferry to Governors Island.. I've never been on a boat before. I got a little nauseous at first, but there were a lot of other bikes there that helped me calm down. After we arrived on the island, we went for a nice two laps around the place. It was very pleasant.. I was even able to take a picture with the Statue of Liberty.



These, too, were taken on the island.

Here's the Raleigh and his master after the island.

We rode all the way up to the Intrepid and more until everyone was too hot and tired to continue. This was a great ride!

Troy Sebastian here. I've gone for some quick rides, but pictures aren't always taken. I'm not sure why not though, I mean.. look at me? Anyway, I've gone out a few times with Elaine, my master.. here she is riding to play volleyball again.

She's aiiiight, I guess. She's a bit of a noob if you ask me. I mean, look at her - she's eating a muffin while going for the ride! I'm trying to get her in shape and she eats a banana walnut muffin?! Plus no multi-tasking when controlling me.. that's just wreckless!

Anyway, here are some of her friends riding on some of my friends.

Troy Sebastian here. I went for a ride on June 30th to the park while my master played volleyball. As they were resting.. some of the other players took me for a quick test ride. I sure impressed them! - it must've been my cool bell.

Introduction.

Troy Sebastian here.. I'm a conceited one, so this blog is all about me and my adventures. I am now a little over a month old, but I have traveled quite the distance. I went into labor on June 3, but my birthday is June 4. Seen below is my first picture taken (also pictured is my girlfriend, Ana Lucia.. and Rain's in the picture too - he's helping me learn how to roll properly before letting me stroll out on my own). I'm all stock with a new cage to match!

My first stroll ever was that same day for about over 10 miles, give or take. I was preparing for my first organized ride on the 19th. Pictured below, I went for another long stroll through Liberty State Park for some more practice. I'm not sure if you can notice, but I am no longer a baby.. I grew up and changed my saddle to a Selle Italia SLK Gel Flow Saddle. First I took a picture with Ana Lucia, and then I took a solo one to show the beautiful view of the city.

I participated in my first organized ride on June 19th called the Ride for the Mission. I went with Ana Lucia.. we first went for 25 miles, but then we pushed ourselves to do a hilly 7 miles shortly after. We survived. Here I am (with Ana Lucia again, of course) resting on a tree because Ana Lucia doesn't seem to believe in kickstands! Ana Lucia is lighter than me.. but check out her badunkadunk!

I've been on some short rides since then, but I feel like I can go for some long rides again.. 45, maybe even 60+ miles. Let's find out!

Maybe one day you'll find a picture of me soHoing in YOUR town. ;)
