went out after work with the idea of getting in a good amount of miles. it wasnt as breezy as the weather report lead me to believe. this wind is getting tiring. every day feels like im pedaling into the wind whichever direction i go.

decided to head up into berkely heights. went up shunpike rd and decided to go up mount view rd. this extended my climb by a decent amount. at least it felt that way, my legs were tired! after getting up near overlook headed my normal route that carried me back into scotch plains. decided to go to my favorite place, tamaques! there was another rider there and we paired up for a few laps but nothing major. just rode around at a nice pace. headed home and had a great encounter. was going down south ave at about 22mph when someone in a car yelled something at me. my initial thought was to give them the finger but i held back and chose just to wave. up ahead, i saw they were going to get caught by the light so decided to sprint to catch them! got up to them and rolled up real slow. as i stopped next to them i looked in and pointed to my ear mouthing, "what did you say?" they exploded in laughter which made me laugh too. much better than the reaction had i given them the finger. good ride :) ;
