Bike ride to Brooklyn, Fri april 29

Now that spring is here, we are in a race against time desperately attempting to get cycling-fit for France, so Friday morning we got up at 6 am to go for a ride before work: ok until 7 but a dumb idea in the second hour as the traffic built up. but we made it - a 20 mile (32km) round trip to Red Hook, a Brooklyn neighborhood that is a bit like Pyrmont, via Brooklyn Briduge then home via Manhattan Bridge. Won't be cycling on a midweek morning again.
