Nice ride in. 39 degrees. Annoying headwind, but that seems to be the norm. First ride this year under 40. Decided to try wearing the new ShowersPass shell over a thin fleece jersey and found myself too hot. Rode unzipped the whole way, with rather sweaty forearms. Wish I had brought a short sleeve jersey for the ride home.

Watched a car accident happen right in front of me as I slowed down before an intersection (5th Ave in Park Slope, few blocks before Union). New BMW M3 with a couple kids in it that must've been doing 50 or so down a small residential street, trying to make the light, took the front bumper off of a car service Town Car that started moving just before the light turned green and was already in the intersection. While no one was hurt, the unnerving thing about all this was that the BMW, swerving from the impact, ended up flying through and "parked" right on the sidewalk. Damn good thing there was no one walking there at the time.
