8/17/24 bike ride in the rain

i had a lot of trouble sleeping it took me like a whole hour to fall asleep cuz i had to wake up early to go on the ride so i had to sleep early too but my sleep schedule is fucked so yeah

got my bike downstairs and headed straight for the manhattan bridge. almost threw up on the grade up smith. guess i left too early after eating. had to take like a 30 minute break and headed to the city. when i arrived in manhattan i decided to go on the bike path under the fdr so i was cruising east and couldnt find it for shit because there was mad road work everywhere

i ended up finding though and rode up to 34th where i turned onto 1st ave and continued north until 59th street. i went west from there cuz i wanted to go down 7th avenue because its my favorite av in the city to go down. on and off bike lanes and perfect speed traffic to cut up

i originally went on this ride to buy guitar strings as i mentioned in the previous entry but i forgot my keya at home so i couldnt lock up my bike anyuwhere to actually go to buy them lol. i headed home and it started raining when i was on the bridge and it started fucking pouring once i was in downtown bklyn. a lot of my friends got soaked too because of the unexpected rain

i chilled under scaffolding for a bit with these 2 other cyclists until the rain calmed down and i rode home soaked

i hate carrying my bike up the stairs when im in shorts bruh because my legs get mad dirty from scratching against the frame and the tires

i was tired asf when i got home but it felt good. ate and took a shower and just chilled for the rest of the day

sorry for the late push on this commit i forgot to write last night. im currently writing this at 6:26 pm on 8/18 lmaooo
