poland day 15

july 29, 2007

i woke up hung over again, although not nearly as bad as friday morning. it's strange - you'd think that after my 6 month health kick that my body would not be able to process the amount of alcohol i've consumed in the last three days. apparentl, my muscle memory is extraordinary.

denis and i decided to go for a bike ride today into osieck and beyond. there is a large cathedral that you can see from the hotel that i wanted to check out. "downtown" osieck is only about 1km from the hotel so the bike ride wasn't long. the cathedral was pretty impressive, especially for a town the size of osieck (population 200... maybe).

denis then had a wonderful idea - a bike gang. so he and i formed one. the ohshitski dragons. he the leader and i the stunt rider. the videos are hilarious.

each town has a large billboard map of the town, which is extremely useful when you are in a bike gang. we wanted to see who we could terrorize next. so we found another little "town" about 2km away and rode there. on our way, we ran into some local trouble. another gang of 5 teenage boys on bikes. they laughed at us when we first rode by so on our way back, denis greeted their jeers with a ferocious bell ring (our bikes were well equipped with signal bells for such an occasion).

afterwards i packed, said my goodbyes and was driven to the airport. i didn't arrive at my hotel in london until 2am. i'm probably going into work late tomorrow.
