Right now I'm at my parents' vacation home in the Pocono Mountains, halfway between New York City and Ithaca. How convenient. My car is all loaded up with my stuff (including my road bike) and sometime tomorrow afternoon I will commence my moving in to my new place. Since it won't be a full day in Ithaca, I will call it Day Zero. If I have time, I'll take some pictures of my "setup" so far, but for now let me just tell you about it:
I'll be living on the first floor of a two-story house, with access to the basement, which for my purposes is a bike garage and workshop. The basement has a back door which allows for easy exit and entry with a bike from the back yard. My road bike will be for good to mediocre weather, and the mountain bike for whatever is worse than that. I'll just be needing the road bike for now, since it's another month or so before the snow starts (just kidding! Ithaca usually gets it's first snow around Halloween).
I'm not a fan of changing places, friends, or routines. But I think that as long as I'm in control of what the changes are, and as long as I organize my life the way I want - and not simply let it throw me around - everything will work out for the best.
