9 miles in the "sun" it was gorgeous out, 68 degrees, the smell of flowers in the air. We rode down to Seward Park and back, 9 miles and 700 feet of climbing.
At the park, it was like scenes from my childhood. People in convertibles, (including a 1953 cadillac), mom, dad and the kids running around, i even saw children in swim suits! (that lake is COLD, what were they thinking?)
People of all ages and sizes were walking, biking and driving. The icecream man was there! Then we rode back up the hill to home.
