Today in Training: Battery Park to Red Hook

How'd this T car end up in Red Hook?!

Slowly settling into my summer home here in Battery Park City... I love that it's so quiet and there are tree-lined bike paths everywhere... not so thrilled about the glut of wandering tourists that straggle in and out of those bike paths, but I'm working with what I've got here. Training is not going to be easy this summer: case in point, I was out for about 4 hours today and only netted about 20 miles. Took the Manhattan Bridge over to Brooklyn and headed over to Red Hook, then rode back over the Brooklyn Bridge (which I never learn, the BB bike path is never a good idea). Perfect day for a ride today—overcast but not too cool.

Taking a bite out of the Big Apple

Ain't 'fraid of no ghosts. Stumbled across the Ghostbusters Fire house today.

Back in Red Hook

I might as well get this tattooed on my leg. It ends up there after every ride anyway.

BPC is this quiet and beautiful.
