Greetings once again.

The previous days saw an interesting experiment in biking. As you may or may not know, I recently purchased a bike and spent the last month or so riding to work and around Provo. It turned out Provo had a lot more elevation changes than I had previously thought, but nothing I couldn't handle. Well, said elevation changes were little match to what Connecticut had in store for me. We couldn't manage to get a picture to show what it's like, so how about some contour maps?

Below you find a section of my planned path to UConn from our apartment. Each line represents a 40 foot increase in elevation:

160+ Foot increase

For comparison, here is the hill up 400 N in Springville, or as we called it as kids, "The Beast".

80+ Feet (Rhode Island has speed bumps bigger than this)

You may also note that the pictured hill runs through Gurleyville. When I discovered that the other possible route runs through Manleyville, I began reconsidering my plans to bike to school everyday. If anybody has a moped they could mail to us, we would be eternally indebted to you.

In other news, we took a trip to Rhode Island today. I'll leave the details to Megan, but would like to say that it's nice to see a state that takes their mustaches seriously.
