I live in Park Slope, work in Riverdale 3 days a week. Lately, I've been thinking that my commute has been painfully short (I usually only go to Grand Central and catch the Metro North to Spuyten Dyvil...thats short....too short...). With today being as BEAUTIFUL as it was, I thought I'd head on up the West Side Highway for a bit before parking at GC as usual. THEN, since I seemed to be FLYING up the WSH, I thought I might as well catch the Metro North at 125th instead. BUT, as it turns out, what I thought would probably be a convenient place for an exit at 125th turned out to be just highway...so I went up a little further....then a little further...by the time I got to the end of the bike path I was already up in Inwood...which is just a stone's throw from Riverdale, really....

After work, I tried to take the subway back, but I have to transfer at Times Square, and I had to let 3 trains of crowded nonsense go by before I finally just decided to ride back home from there.

All told, today I rode 33 miles...my longest ride EVAH. And...even BETTER, I dont feel like I want to cut my legs off, I dont feel like I need to trade my bum in for a new one (although can you IMAGINE? I would definitely trade up.), and I could have maybe even taken a loop around Prospect Park after.

So. Today was a good day. Now, if you'll excuse me, Im off to eat everything in my fridge.

Peace out, y'all!
