Today's ride -- Can't get no respec!

  Today's ride was in prime time, and everyone was out on bikes, rollerblades, boards, walking, running, you name it.
  And everyone was hogging every inch of the road, including my bits of the road. Lots of near-misses, cars driving in the bike lanes, and people walking and riding four a-breast. Tomorrow's ride will be at dawn. Let's see if I can get some of the road for myself. :-)
  Even with all the michegas, I did some serious mileage. Feeling really strong and good. It's hot weather, but heat is very good for riding. And the sun was shining in a very California way, and the Hudson was shimmering and humming with kayakers, the Circle Line, helicopters, shipping and recreational traffic.
  The map. 10.46 miles in 56 minutes. Turnaround at 99th.
  Not too many more weekends like this before it gets collllld.
  PS: There should be a Hacker News for biking.
