Bikes & Friends

Probably the best non-Edie day since she was born. B took over baby duty today completely, and I set out around 9am on the bike and road out to Coney Island by myself in the crisp fall air. Started out very slow and tight, but really enjoyed just being there and moving. Ended up in Bed Stuy at C&T's house, where C is very very pregnant. I know what they're going through, very much the nesting instinct kicking in and they haven't gotten out much. I felt very appreciated coming that far out just for a casual and brief hello.

From there road up to the 59th Street bridge and met with the HVS for lunch and a walk through Central Park, good catching up and just having some time to focus. After parting, hit up the super market for some groceries to start on some parts of the multi-course meal I'm cooking for friends tomorrow. After confabbing with B & the Edles, shot off on bike again to E's place in Greenpoint, where we toured around the abandoned industrial areas on bikes before ending up at Roberta's in Bushwick for a beer. I wasn't hungry, but they're pretty well-known for the wood-fired pizza, so I had to try some.

Saw a lot of good friends, got a good 40-45 miles in on the bike, and feel totally fired up to spend quality time with the Edles starting tomorrow!
