Bklyn

Today is a first!
First time I have taken the bike to Atlantic Terminal and rode to either office -- and in this case both offices.
I am of two minds about not playing the hand I was dealt and just working out of Metrotech. It's 5 minutes from At. Term., which is SOOOO convenient, just like the way our old PASouth office was close to Penn. Then again, had we not moved down here, I wouldn't have shed the weight.
There isn't a whole lot to say about the ride to Metrotech, as it's brief and not too inspiring (you're in the street w/ cars). LIU is there to my right, taking Flatbush Ave. north.

Leaving Metrotech to return to Wall St., though was quite scenic. Crossed at the Manhattan Bridge, which was a mistake (should've taken Brooklyn Bridge) but since I knew exactly where it'd lead (b/c I run under it twice weekly) I was okay with that and it only cost me another 5 minutes. I got a tougher workout riding uphill on the bridge, which thankfully has a bike/pedestrian lane partitioned by a gate from the cars and the subway train. Graffittiied residential buildingtops to my left. Nice sunny day. The path spit me out in to Chinatown and it took me a minute to get my bearings but realized the smartest/safest move was just to get back to the Seaport. I saw Catherine Street, realized it would eventually become Catherine Slip (it did) and took it.

Got free 2nd breakfast, fruit, coffee, milk and free lunch/salad/water during the meeting, where I have to admit I actually learned something. The Atex rep looked like Sam Kinison (and sorta sounded like quiet Sam Kinison) with 1st 1985 Biff Tannen hair.

I imagine him opening his next meeting as such:

"Welcome to Atex PGL. A lot of people think that Atex is just a program, but I hold it sacred...."

Thank you for reading.
