The way in was great. All those miles on the new road bike are paying off as I constantly found myself spinning in a higher gear then before (having taken some time off the hybrid).

On the way home this morning, right past the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side, a bunch of cyclists were coming down BOTH lanes of the separated bike path. Tried to go as far right as I could but one dude did not get out of the way and ended up endoing in glorious superman fashion as I barely got out of the way.

Since I ended up in the emergency room a couple weeks ago after doing the same manouver (albeit, due to an unattentive ped), was glad to see he was ok and no damage was done. Kinda ironic as I had just finished a conversation with a co-worker about bike traffic and the amount of cyclists on the road these days.

Other then that, it's absolutely beautiful out. Did an extra lap around PP and will probably go back out for a few more.
