Last night I went for my first out-door bike ride of 2010! I was originally going to head up to Central Park for the 6-mile (hilly) loop but got scared off by the dark storm clouds. Instead I rode over the East River trail and rode from my apartment down to the South Street Seaport. It was more of a liesurely ride as opposed to triathlon training but it was quite nice. I threw my iphone with the sound all the way up in my backpack so I could listen to music but not get distracted (and potenitally hit by cars). I only had one near collision situation where another biker was headed in my direction, so instead of hitting them I rode my bike into a pole. Awkward! Other than that, great ride. Had to stop along the way to take some pictures:
