I was ready to leave for work early and had two coffees instead of one. The weather looked promising. There were no excuses not to ride, so I rode. I had a tailwind for most of the trip, elevating my speed. Upon reaching the steepest uphill portion of the Brooklyn Bridge, I faced a headwind, but only briefly. It was about 50º. My hands got a little cold, so I will try to remember that I'll need gloves below 50º.
