Songs: I love to ride my bicycle…Queen; Here comes the sun, thanks to guy singing (badly) in Strawberry fields
Finally we made some progress about getting my bike home. To celebrate, I got back on my bike and went cycling through Central Park. It was an awesome morning. We did the entire outer loop and then did some inner paths, including Strawberry Fields, (Thanks Bonny). I tried a pretzel from a vendor, but let’s just say it is not my thing. We had lunch at the Tavern on the Green and the 2 delicious ciders I had with my fried fish and plateful of microgreens, were enough to end the outing. We went home and had a wonderful afternoon nap.
Later in the day, we went walked downtown and went for supper at Ellin’s Stardust. The line was out the door and halfway down the block when we arrived, so now we can tick off another NY thing to do – queue for food. It was a fun evening, although I think their sound system needs upgrading. When we heard the MC give the same intro for the 3rd time, we knew it was time to go. Thank you, Mariline, for the recommendation.
My chuckle of the day: The poor bridal party and especially the grooms in kilts and long socks, in the blazing sun in Central Park, waiting for photo session to end.
David’s chuckle of the day: At the beginning of our ride, I told David that my bike felt harder to ride and I had to use my battery more than normal. After about 30 minutes, I said that the lube on the chain must have warmed up, as it felt easier. David thought this was very funny and explained that it was my legs that had warmed up.
What I learnt: Lube on bicycle chains does not warm up and make things easier.
