Great meeting you noteon! Wish I felt better - I can still smell that bbq and I was damned hungry too.
On the bright side I learned about some new public restroom stops on the east side

Nice to meet you guys, too. And weird how few degrees of separation there are sometimes.

Seriously. I had a great time. And I didn't know about that 155th Street entrance to the greenway.

Yeah, it's a little hard to find. Across from the gas station where we stopped is the entrance to the greenway along the east river - one of my favorite spots at night with a group. At the bottom of the hill before that entrance is very dicey though - pretty hard to find especially at night if you don't know where it is. Promise I'll show ya next time!

The entrance we took at 155th was a perfect place for an ambush. We could've run over dead bodies and not known it.

I actually scanned it with my light before going in just to see if anyone was there.

Oops, I meant "So... when are we doing this again?" Tonight I'd be out.
Another night this week?

Looks like I'm out tonight - plus want to rest up for Saturday. 
How's next Tuesday for everyone? Can make it a recovery ride from Saturday for all those that are going
I'm going out for birthday drinks on Wednesday (I'll post details when I make them
), thought about combining the two but would probably make for too tight a night.

You might as well ask "How's October 19, 2013 for everyone?"
I'm going to try to get some more miles in tonight, and then ease off on Thursday and Friday in preparation for Saturday. (I also just put a B17 on the bike this morning, and I'd like to put some more miles on that before Saturday as well.)
Not positive I can do tonight, but if anybody's interested, let me know. I live right above the Little Red Lighthouse, so I'd be starting from there. Not going for speed--just fun and keeping the knees from rusting out.

Eight miles this morning. So far I love it.
The bike shop where I bought it couldn't be bothered to find their stock of Proofide, so I need to get some pretty quick. Hopefully there's a place near work that's got it.
