This week has been great. I've had tailwinds in the morning, which is unusual. I rode in on Monday, Wednesday, and today (Thursday). Last night, I stopped at a friend's place on the upper east side, so I took an entirely different route. From there, I had meant to ride through Central Park but I absentmindedly missed the entrance and ended up taking 5th Ave all the way. I hit the congestion that I usually avoid, and it is indescribably dense. When traffic stops for a light, I cannot slip between the cars, as there is no space between them. I passed by Trump Tower, and while there is a lot of protection there, I was glad to see that the police manage to keep traffic moving.
