Ok this is my sophomoric attempt at creating a blog. This afternoon while riding my bike home, I thought that I should start a blog chronicling my commute to and from work everyday. I figured that the best way to keep it interesting would be to take a different route every day. For some reason, I thought that I might be able to do it for a year, so I'm starting today, it's July 14th Bastille day. I'm thinking that even taking a slightly different route qualifies as changing my route, say taking 13th street instead of 11th street on my ride in....

I took my usual route both this morning and afternoon, so tomorrow will be my first "new way". My commute this morning consisted of riding up Prospect Park Southwest, to Brichard Circle then down 15th Street to 7th Avenue, to 13th Street all the way to 2nd Avenue, through the Lowe's parking lot and back onto 9th street. Right on Smith and left on a small street I can't remember the name of. To Clinton Street which leads you right to Tillary and the Brooklyn Bridge.

On the way home, I took the Manhattan Bridge to Sand Street and...I'm not sure the name (shit, gonna have to pay more attention) to Mrytle and Adelphi to Atlantic and Vanderbilt. Through Prospect Park and I was home. Here's a shot of the bike path on Adelphi Street along Fort Greene Park. Beautiful neighborhood and it's been the route I've been relying on recently.

I guess I'll figure out how to become more efficient at posting and more interested, if I actually continue doing this. I hope to.

I tried to catch a picture of a three legged dog that I saw on my ride home but couldn't get the picture in time, so I only caught the crosswalk, gonna have to get a bit better at taking pictures while riding, too!

Here's the map of the route, I took. It's not the best map but it's the best I can do now. I'll have to figure out how I can make it look better.

Listening to Fallin' Flyin' by Jeff Bridges. Ok, signing off until tomorrow!
