Biking across the Atlantic

Forest ParkIf I haven't blogged in a few days (or more) I have a really good excuse: I've just completed my first-ever trans-Atlantic crossing by ship.

Not much opportunity to ride a bike, except a stationary bike in the gym.

But I have just biked through a beautiful neighborhood in Queens, New York with one of my oldest friends, who took me on his favourite route -- including a vigorous spin through Forest Park (see photo to the left).

It was around 75 minutes of solid cycling, far more than I usually do at home. I thought holidays were supposed to be restful! Anyway, it means that I can eat donuts now without feeling guilt.

Or a lot of guilt.

Good to have you back, Eric - now get on that bike!
