First Post!

Well, I may have been late to hop on the blogging train, but since all of the other kids were doing it, I didnt want to feel left out, so here I am, typing away on a library computer in the middle of some town in New Hampshire that I had never heard of untill a few days ago. The trip has been fun so far. The story generally goes like this: Wake up, eat, clean, bike, bike, eat, bike, eat, nap, eat, talk, sleep... But everyone once in a while they mix it up a little bit, by throwing in an extra bike, or an eat; or by jumping into a river, or scrambling around on half finished roofs.

Before I ramble on any more I ought to introduce my self and describe the purpose of this blog. My name is John Romanishin, and I just escaped my first year at MIT. Before college, I could be found in the nice little town of Norman in central Oklahoma. This summer I had not really planned anything for myself untill I heard about Bike and Build. Once I did hear about it, I decided that it sounded a great thing to do. Since I already enjoy biking, and building things, the whole idea made a large ammount of sense. In terms of previous experience, I had spent the last semester racing for the MIT cycling team. I also have just biked extensivly around both central Oklahoma, and eastern Massachussutts. Bike and Build encourages us to keep these blogs during the trip so that our friends and family, and anyone with nothing better to do can read about our cross country trip. So this is my first Post, I am now about to be kicked out of this library, so I will have to leave, but next time I can begin to talk about some of the great things that we have already done, and the prodigious ammounts of amazing food that we have consumed.
