Cycling with Dr. Dre

After running, I decided to go out for a spin since the weather was so nice. I consulted my NYC Cycling Map to figure out a route down to Prospect Park. I left my apartment and followed the bike lanes, but apparently I missed a turn because the next thing I know I'm in Bed-Stuy and I'm the only white dude. The guys in front of me had a boombox strapped to their bike and they were blasting "Still D.R.E." Being that I'm so gangsta, I sang along (very quietly) until the music was out of range.

After a few twists and turns, I made it into Prospect Park and did a couple laps before returning home. Logged a little over 20 miles. My legs felt good, but I definitely don't have the endurance back yet. Of course some of that could be the 27 miles I ran this morning. Climbing felt really good though. Can't wait to get out on a long ride up 9W.

The crazy thing is 27 miles running followed by 20 miles cycling doesn't even feel crazy anymore. It feels normal.
