    Yup, just got back from the 42-mile journey. My thighs feel like well-bruised steak.

    yes, it was also the 16th annual brooklyn biathlon in prospect park. it started at 8am this morning and i finished at 9:20 or so..

    it used to be the biggest biathlon in the us, up to 600 contestants.

    There was also a cinco de mayo race in Park at 11am. It was a busy race weekend for athletes. I personally took home a medal in a USATF 5 mile race in Summit New Jersey :) I wanted to do the duathlon in PPark, but couldn't be in two places at once. boo.

    Our biathlon is different from the winter olympics version, I'm guessing.

    Seems like everyone in the city has a bike tour traffic related horror story. If you're not in it, you're cursing it.

    Dave, I swear I saw you on PPW Friday - either that or your glasses are getting popular. I woulda said something, but a) I was unloading the kid from a friend's car, and b) If I was wrong, saying "Hey, are you kosherdave?" to a stranger would make me feel pretty goofy.

    I look at it like this: The cars have the road for 364 and three-fourth days of the year. If drivers complain about six hours of inconvenience, well, tough luck, bub. Have you heard about our dear friend Mass Transit? I hear he gets around in NYC.

    Well, you forgot about the marathon, various parades, and so on.

    Hell, I don't even own a car anymore. Not worth the bother, and except for the one incident years ago, I merely relate the feelings of people who do need to drive for whatever reason.

    Far as I'm concerned, throw on the spandex and air it out.

    bro i love mass transit! the thing piss me off isnt the bike riders or the closing. its the not knowing. i didnt hear anything on the news, till the highway i was behind was close! i turn on the radio news and it goes today blah blah blah blah 5 borough bike tour blah blah. and than for the next few hrs i had to wait around areas for the bikes to clear out.

    I make my living driving around nyc transporting items. if i known i would of gone to the park for a walk and not taken jobs.

    Well, I live on PPW, and was out and about on Friday, so chances are good, next time give a shout! :)
