Highbridge is pretty fun for an urban park. Haven't been there since 2008 but aside from all the broken glass and a few syringes on the ground, it's pretty unreal that something like this exists in NYC.
Cool video of the place here
We can probably throw is a loop pre-work or post-work. But right now I've just got my SS and it's gonna be slow going on pavement :drooling:
Yeah last 2 days from your place but was later then our typical time. Hay met yesterday only to ride over bridge then we went our separate ways. Been putting in some solid rides with the plastic mtb which makes me work a bit harder for those miles.
It was a good week and all on the plastic fatty

What makes commuting into the city fun is pissing that goes on. Take today I had a full week and said easy roll in and out cause the legs felt poopy. A.M Then comes along a skinny who chased me down and wanted to prove boss. But finds this fatty is hanging on so he draws a few pulls and I'm still there next thing you know he gives and I pull. Then a few words and we roll talking small talk. he was brooklyn commuter and shared some good. P.M. same deal want to roll easy then comes another skinny so I hang, he drops bunch of hands left and right as we make our way through the CF and bangs a quicky in the 90's. Not more then a minute and again another boss. I hang with this joe for a good length and we were at 20+. Dudeman kept looking to shake but it wasn't happening till we hit a 4 body wide and a guard rail he took a shot and I braked and it was over. I am getting intervals without mental thought. Meeting like peeps who just like to ride. Work is over rated but commuting to and fro makes it all worth it...
