Well, the rides both in and out were quite nice. Looks I will be telecommuting tomorrow, so I decided to go back into the city to buy some new rags and ended up covering about 50 miles overall for the day.

There really is nothing like the rush of weaving and navigating through mid-day NYC traffic. The constant interaction with drivers is lots of fun as well. Memorable moment of the day: Riding with 2 messengers up Park Ave, going about 25mph, 6 inches from an SUV with its windows opened, and hearing the most feminine sounding male voice scream out from the back seat "OMG, there's a biker over here!" I lol'd :-P

Don't think I've had an endorphin high like this yet :-D, (especially after some freshly made veggie juice to aid recovery.) At one point, on the way back, I found myself going 20mph up hills where I usually struggle to keep 12 or so when on the way home from work.


The weather was absolutely perfect too (mid to high 40's), adding to the experience. Can't wait to do it again.
