Yes, them there's snow on the ground. There wasn't when I began my ride less than an hour before I took this self-portrait with my mobile, but it sure came down hard and fast.
It was my last ride of 2009 and probably the last chance for the four-day weekend, as snow is predicted every day. Hence the look of displeasure on my face.
All my riding buddies begged off last night or this morning, but none mentioned the forecast of snow as a reason. So, it was a solo ride when I started out at 7:32 a.m. As the weather forecasts are notoriously inaccurate here in Gotham, I expected today's to be the same. Well, for a change they were accurate. I got down to the path on Riverside Park in Upper Manhattan and although it was cloudy, I could see down to the buildings on the NY and NJ financial districts. By the time I got down to the George Washington Bridge, however, the snow had begun and I couldn't see past the bridge itself. I turned around within seconds of the first flakes and by the time I got home (just a 4-mile trip) there was an inch of the white stuff already on the ground. At least I made it home safely.
Let's hope 2010 starts with better riding weather than we had at the close of 2009.
