5 boro bike tour checklist, part 3

Mile 23 = Greenpoint. That is comforting. Is there a crime in only doing 23 miles? I know a lot of "completists" out there would say yes; but I am hoping to change their minds... Does this make me a quitter? Anyway, with the bestest possible Yes-I-Can (but I probably won't) Attitude, I bring you installment #3 of my checklist.

1. Got the back of the pen off. Hooray.
2. Jimmied the lock. Didn't work.
3. Slight panic is setting in.
4. Must cut 4 slits in the back like Wired suggests, and try again.
5. Oh no, learned that Kryptonite is bolt-cutter-proof.
6. Spun with Kyle. Great class, great music, and Kyle has a large vocabulary. What could be better? But the class is later. I wound up eating dinner at 9pm. Starved. Irrational. Must take the inferior earlier class on Mondays from now on instead. Nothing is perfect.

The whole 42 mile route ends with a long wait to take the ferry from Staten Island.
To this I reply, why not cut out Staten Island, the wait and the long ride back from
Lower Manhattan and just double back in good ole BK? It makes a lot of sense when
you think about it you know.
