is so difficult. My family is from southern Germany. If I drove 3 hours, I could be in France, Italy, or Austria. Strange. currently I live on the coast of New Jersey and easily drive 2 hours to Ringwood NJ , 3 to Stewart NY, and 3 toTrumbull, CT! Oh, I could also drive 3 to Phillidelphia PA. I bought a van so I could sleep in it and still race. I love biking so much, it's what I have to do.
