Bicycle! Bicycle!

July 13, 2003

Tonight I went for my first bike ride in a really long time. When I went home last week I made sure to bring my bike back with me. When I was at school in Madison I would ride my bike almost every day. Often I woiuld ride to class and sometimes I would just hop on it and ride around the city.

For my first ride in a while, I thought I'd go over to Prospect Park and enjoy nature in the big city. There is a big loop around the park that gives you a nice view of everything. I entered the loop at the top and made my way around. I was planning on once around and then back to grab some dinner. Apparently, my subconcious wasn't ready to finish up after once around as I missed my exit and kept going. This was a good thing as I needed the exercise.

The park is beautiful. This is my first time making it all the way in and there is so much good stuff going on. I found out they do outdoor films with music every Thursday at the bandshell this summer. This Thursday you can see Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D with live music by The Jazz Passengers. Fridays you can see music. This week is Stephen Malkmus. There's plenty else going on, see for yourself.

I plan on making bike riding a regular thing here in NYC. Running is boring but I need to get my body moving. Today I went about ten miles and I feel really good. If you want to go on a ride, let me know. I'm down.
