You all should see Williamsburg and Central Park as the weather gets warmer. :D

And the East and West side MUPs, PP, and practically the whole city. The views are spectacular.

I have enough distractions with living a block away from the beach and occasional trips out to Ship Island. I guess riding Highway 90 during the summer may be off my options list; too many distractions. ;)

Good for her!! I may have to print off that article for my Girl Guide group to talk about. (We are doing a mini cycle tour for our next camp, and we're also looking at what it means to be active/athletic . Too many young girls think that they can't claim their own physical competence without losing their "femininity"...) I liked what she had to say about pursuing excellence for herself rather than to try to please others.

It only goes to prove as mother said, "TRUE BEAUTY" comes from within.

God yes. I nearly ran into a car yesterday riding around Willyburg when this gorgeous girl in those 70s-style running shorts was climbing onto her bike.

I think I'll be spending more time in billyburg this summer. Hope Pies n Thighs finds a spot there soon so I can eat while I'm enjoying the view.

Mmm.. yeah. A slightly more expensive Pies n Thighs alternative is Fette Sau on Metropolitan near Havermeyer. They serve you a tray of meat and you can order a gallon of beer. Then right across the street is Spuyten Duyvil which has an awesome back yard which is usually good for finding some nice girls (and spectacular beer selection).
