well, first of all, you are most welcome. i mean, the last/first ride was just glomarduck, myself, and my GF. so if we were gonna get exclusive, uh, it'd get pretty boring quickly.

there's a hearing going on as i write this in a NYC courtroom concerning critical mass, so what happens friday remains to be seen. this might have repercussions elsewhere, as they're seeking to make riding in CM a federal crime. (how ridiculous is that?!)

as for suggestions, i'd say just ride around. get a free bike map at any bike shop, hit the parks, the bike paths along the water (west-side of manhattan is probably easiest). one of my favorite things? head to queens for amazing ethnic food: thai, chinese, egyptian, greek - the list goes on and on...

i think i'm gonna have to miss saturday's ride, but if CM is an option, i'm in for that.
