between Columbus and Amsterdam.
For the first time I arrive after 8 PM
but I know that the group
starts rolling around 20 past...
We take 72nd Street west
until we hit Riverside Drive.
Up and down,
up and down and slow down
at the bottom of the hill
because of the light
and up again...
I know this ride but for some reason
tonight it feels longer than usual.
After the stop at Grant's tomb
I decide to ride with the fast bunch.
Big downhills are a blast.
Five minutes later
the fastest group
might be 500 feet ahead of me.
I turn around,
no one's behind me.
This is where I come to a fork.
Still can't see anyone.
On the right the sign says Geo Bridge
on the left there is no sign.
I go right.
