NOT!!!!!!!!! Is every road around here being milled? Malba’s out due to road work and now Douglaston? What utter frustration! What should have been a nice return to the east side of Little Neck Bay was aborted due to unridable road surfaces. At least the ride was really wonderful. Even after a super hard leg workout earlier today which included 90 body-weight squats distributed over the usual six sets, an additional set to failure, racking up a total of 32 more reps, completed that effort. In spite of this, the legs felt really strong and powerful, and the pedaling was virtually effortless! The ride had to be squeezed in today as a powerful inland storm promises to combine with the remnants of Hurricane Nicole to produce some nasty weather tomorrow. Today's weather saw a welcome return to more seasonal temps in the upper fifties with a return of brilliant blue skies and a manageable westerly wind of 5-10.
