Today after work I made the mistake of hitting my local gym in Hoboken for chest and triceps. I got there a little before 6:30 P.M. and it was packed to the rafters. With a bit of improvisation I was able to get through the entire workout, but I definitely made a mental note to avoid the gym during rush hour. The highlight of my workout week so far was my ride yesterday in Central Park. I took the ferry over to the city, rode over to the park, and then did three loops at a fairly hard pace. I ended up averaging 19.5 MPH for the 18 miles around the park (which I am pretty happy with given all the hills and the fact I really have not been riding much lately), and was blowing away roadies left and right (I actually lapped these two riders in matching cycling club kits, although I think they must have been doing the smaller 4 mile loop). I felt strong the entire way, and while I was definitely sweating and had a fairly elevated heart rate, the funny thing is I never really rode my really big gears. In other words, my new bike is FAST...
