Central Park Loop-24 miles

After a week of eating out while on vacation and at a conference, I was eager to get back on my bike. Last week I went up to the Henry Hudson Drive in the horrible heat...I think it was 100% real feel T. That was probably a mistake.

That night I discovered there was a big fat bulge in the rear tire. So, I thought I'd practice changing my tire in the safe confines of my apartment. Two hours later, with a new tube....the bulge was still there. Turns out that I needed a new one. I guess it's time considering these are the original tires. Big red is 6 years old in August!

Today I met Nan for a few loops in the park and then a nice lunch at Route 66 on 9th ave. The weather was great...overcast so there were no people in the park!
