I had a very nice commute into work this morning. This was the first time in a while I rode in. Yesterday, I rode the Tour de Staten Island, a very large group ride around New York City's eternally forgotten borough. I rode with my friends Andy (@ascherer) and Weiben (@wilfried) and Andy's cow-orker Andre. We did the 50 mile route. I did the ride with insufficient sleep, and I was underdressed, so when I got home, I was chilled and fatigued. Still sore and tired, I pushed myself to ride in today, and so far, it feels like I made a good choice.

This morning, I took this shot under the George Washington Bridge. There is a children's book called The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge, and it's a semi-fictional story about these two things. It's a picturesque spot, and if you zoom in, you can see two people sitting on a bench in front of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is truly small for a lighthouse, but it performed its duty for years before it was built in 1931.
