yesterday, when the weather was more perfectly beautiful summery day, ben, greg, and i went out for a long bike ride which turned out to be one of the best little nyc touring rides in a while.
we basically pwned the city on our bikes.
the final route ended up being from my spot in windsor terrace, picked up greg at grand army plaza, through downtown brooklyn, over the manhattan bridge, down to, and up the east-side greenway, onto 1st ave. at 32nd-ish, up past the U.N., up to 57th-ish, cut to central park, one 6.6 mi. loop around the park, back to the southeast corner @ 59th, hit up a bodega for deli sandwich purchasing time, MTA tram to roosevelt island, picnic "lunch" at the northernmost point, roosevelt island bridge to the queens side, pulaski bridge over to astoria, down through hunter's point & greenpoint, sidled past w'burg on kent, and meandered back down to prospect park, said bye to greg, then one more half-loop around the park, then home.
nothing like tricking your body into exercise.
good times.
tonight's homework:
do this on your bicycle with a friend (bring water and a snack!):
