Terrible NYC riding...

As seen on my ride today.  Such terrible riding here in NYC.  Sorry for the poor quality, Motorola needs to take a lesson from Apple on how to put a great camera in their smart phone.  Actually, I should have taken a real camera with me.

Henry Hudson Drive - 9 miles of paradise right across the GWB
 
We have switchbacks too...except I'll get a ticket if I go right unfortunately :-(
Booooooo!
 
Very parkwayesque, too bad there's only a 1.2 mile "mountain" at the end!
 
 
Hudson River peeking through the trees
 
Headed up Alpine climb
 
Henry Hudson Bridge...gateway to northern Manhattan
 
Manhattan skyline and GWB pre-hurricane as seen from the water...
err, Ross Dock (soon to be under water!)
 
GWB peeking through the trees on my way home
 
So I survived the pre-hurricane wind for one last ride to enjoy the fall colors before the hurricane destroys Henry Hudson Drive (known as river road to the local cyclists) and blows down what's left of the leaves.  Every time we get hit with a big storm, trees come down and there's usually a rock/mudslide or two closing the road for a couple weeks.  It truly is an amazing 9 miles of riding.
