Hour-by-hour weather report from weather.com says no rain tonight I hope it's right. 
Rain will start again around 6am tomorrow.
What's a good route to GAP from the billsburg or brooklyn bridge?

Brooklyn BR to GAP:
2 ways: simple+traffic or little more complex+less traffic
simple+traffic:
L on Tillary off at the BB exit.
R on Flatbush @ bottom of the hill
Flatbush takes you right to GAP (the big traffic circly thing at the top of the hill.) (approx 1.5 miles)
Take a right to go around the plaza, We meet just inside the park entrance.
But traffic on Flatbush can be crappy to deal with, so:
lesstraffic+lesssimple:
L at BB exit on Tillary.
1 block then Right on Jay St @ metrotech
Straight for 6 blocks
L on Livingston (don't get killed by a bus)
R on Hoyt (don't hit the planet-sized potholes)
Go Across Atlantic, go something like 10 more blocks.
L on Union
take union across Gowanus canal and up to Park Entrance, on right (about 1.5 miles.)

no problem, you pack of sissies. And for the record, I *let* myself get dropped after pulling you up the hill a little bit. Which really, REALLY impressed the girl I was riding with.
