soloed today, gnawa left earlier than me (marcelinyc and john campo obviously partied hard last night!) and actually called from nyack as i pulled up to kudos. i'm so impressed, G!

the wind gods are definitely ticked at me for some reason. on the way north (i started from hoboken terminal), i had the toughest headwind. no illusions, i was checking out the leaves and the grass blowing. then i got hung up in nyack and piermont chatting for a spell and the wind did an about face! even stronger out of he south. i am beat! i love this feeling.
