I had quite a fun adventure today. Now I wish I had taken pictures. The weather was great. I had to stop by a doctor's office on the east side to pick up a piece of medical equipment. Then I asked Google how to get to work, and it gave me a surprising route through the Bronx, including the South Bronx. It was a fascinating tour, including the gritty and gorgeous neighborhoods. I decided to use only two gears to make it interesting. It seemed there was quite a bit of climbing on the route, which I enjoy and miss on my regular route. The campus of Bronx Community College looks gorgeous. I hadn't know of the existence of Jerome Park Reservoir, so it was a treat to see that.

Home to doctor

Doctor to work

Oh, I'm glad to report that my repair of my rear wheel has held up. I reported that I broke a spoke on Thursday, but it turned out to be two spokes. I replaced them on Sunday. So far, no more breakages.
