the best idea of the year

In honor of New York City’s 5-Boro tour tomorrow, (well, more accurately in honor of the Sabbath,) some friends and I did a 4-Boro 2-Island tour today. My progress is slow, my riding is slow, i can’t take my left hand off the handle bars, and cars and pedestrians make me kind of wish I were inside. Still, when we stopped in Prospect Park to eat, after spending a gorgeous morning riding through a few boroughs and around Randall and Roosevelt Island, Ruth said that the ride was my best idea this year. I don’t know that I can argue with that.
