I did a nice, easy ride through Prospect Park in Brooklyn. I have a cold, so didn't push it. There's a hawk family there with three babies who have just fledged, so they are easy to find and beautiful.

It rained a little, so I put my trusty shower cap over my helmet. It really is time for a higher-quality helmet cover, though. I realized that riding through Brooklyn puts me at risk of being photographed by Bike Snob. Today I was Fred to the tenth power (at least).
