wish i had space, but i'll be boarding other non bikers that weekend.
As far as the randalls island thing goes, its actually not a bad ride down there at all, although I did get a tad confused as to how to get down there when i first crossed the bridge. Tommorow I'm gonna do a good portion of the route with a bunch of guys (we're hopin to meet up at around 1:00 at the race start tommorow to take a relaxed run through the lower manhattan, brooklyn and queens checkpoints).
