I decided to go out for a NYC metric century on Tuesday morning hoping that the forecast for rain was overblown. Well it wasn't. The temperature hovered around 39 degrees and it rained steadily for 5 of the 6 hours on the road. The rain did keep most other cyclists and I presume many vehicles off of the road so during stretches it was quite peaceful. My turnaround point was Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn. I did stop off for a beer at the Gun Hill Brewery to warm up on the way home. 79 miles of rain, wind, fog and grit made for a nice day. No worthwhile photos have been taken since the only riding has been commuting and errands.
