It is my pleasure to present the PTSD (Pre-Teen Speed Demon). Zipping along at speeds upwards of 18 mph she is still careful and courteous to the others on the greenway. Crowds and rough road, however, frustrate the heck out of her.
As we made our way across town, we passed the Russian and Turkish Baths. Back before the era of metrosexuals, The Baths were a strictly male bastion. There are still hours when men can let it all hang out (and others for the ladies) but most of the time, the baths are co-ed. Look at the Russian Bath -- it still had that old-time look that comes with being, well, old. Everything else looks pretty modern. Mike and I are thinking about going over one day and having a nice schvitz together.
And there you have it, the first real ride of the season and your first 2008 tour of New York City via Squid on Wheels.
Total milage: roughly 11 easy miles.

I'm glad spring has sprung enough for you to get out a bit.
It's already summery hot here. Steve went out and his jalapeno plant has 23!!! peppers on it. We should be harvesting soon.
Oh I'm so glad the weather cooperated and allowed y'all to get out on your bikes. A question. Why does the bldg next to the baths say Friedrich at every level. Yep..I clicked. :-)
Doesn't it feel great to get out and ride?!
Yay PTSD! She will blow past me on a ride for sure. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy spring!
