Dave Winer's weblog, started in April 1997, bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

No-Knicks ride up the Hudson Permalink.

Another great riding day, in the mid-70s. Nice tailwind pushing our tails uptown and keeping pedaling hard coming back.

Discovered 59th St is the best entrance to the Hudson Bike trail from the park. You go under the highway, and get right on the path. No messy traffic to mess with.

Today's map: 46 minutes, 8.18 miles.
