I am pleased to report that after many training rides, visualization exercises and some valium taken prior , Jim and I did another NYC touring ride.

We did a loop of Central Park (6mi) so Jim could see the damage done during last weeks storm. (100's of 150 yr old trees felled).
Then to Broadway and the bike lane down to and across the Brooklyn Bridge.
 Almost all "bike lanes" are on roads shared with cars,carts, baby carriages and many clueless tourists.

A stop at South St Seaport for lunch (calamari, fish, salad) and then back up the bike lane by the East River.
Did about 24miles.
AM VERY HAPPY to report that no bones were broken, bikes were intact and Jim thought the hill at the north end of Central Park is now "easy".

Not much of an aerobic work-out, but fun, if a bit nerve -wracking.

Sounds like fun!
I don't know why I don't do this kind of thing.  I should sign up for the fall colour tour...
