What a fantastic opportunity to ride today. 59/60 F is rare as hen's teeth in February, but El Nino

Manhattan out there somewhere, calm,
tranquility and the occasional seagull back here. |
strikes again and cyclists, runners and walkers made the most of it on every road.
A building breeze from the west/southwest provided some stiff resistance in places, but
I posted this on Dave B's ride site, but copy it here again as it kind captured some of the essence of today.

Rounding the point -- looking a little haunted
from this vantage point. |
Yes! the great great outdoors. All its smells, light colors, breezes, twigs to avoid, potholes in all their glory, sights and more sights, and automobile slalom, hills, climbing breathless punishment— it has been a while since I faced off against real hills, real coasting downhill again, squirrels deciding whether it's worth a try to cross the road before the cyclist gets to the squirrel crossing vector. Melting snow fading in to February's end.
Note -- forgot to turn on Strava app after photos, so missed the last 7 miles which were interesting ones.
