The United States Postal Service has made many stops at the Halligan house this past week. First was the much anticipated arrival of my new stock! After breaking my stock during the individual at Junior Worlds this past winter, I put in an order to Timo Antilla. After a few months of talking back and forth about fitting and delivery the new stock finally found its way to my door step.

A few days later the mail man found his way to my house again. This time to deliver my new business cards. I decided to get business cards because I found a lot of people asking me multiple times how to follow my career. I would tell them how they could follow me, then, next time I see them they'd ask again because they forgot.

my whole life I've always wondered if I'd be able to keep up with the Peloton in a big bike race like the Tour De France. well I can now officially say I cannot. Here is how I came to this conclusion. On Tuesday last week I decided to go to the Blue Sky Bike Shop Tuesday Night Ride. There were about 25-30 people who came out that night for the ride. our plan was to ride around Saratoga Lake then head out towards the next town over then ride right back. Over all it would be about a 40-45 mile (64-72 km) ride. It started off pretty easy but we were moving at a pretty fast pace. But 25 miles in (40 km), we got out of town and the pace picked up really fast and before I knew it, I dropped off the back and was alone in the middle of nowhere. Luckily I knew where I was going and completed the ride on my own. I also took a little different rout home and ended up with 52 miles (83 km). In all fairness though my bike is a few hundred dollars and the next cheapest one was probably over a grand. oh well.
