I like Biking

On Saturday I apparently biked almost 20 miles.

This whole thing started on Friday. I took my friend's bike and did a tour in Central Park. It is apparently 6.1 miles. I did not time my self. This was kind of a trial. I enjoyed it.

Then on Saturday, I decided to actually try the bike path next to the Hudson river. I biked up for a while, and finally decided to go to my parents' place in Jersey to take care of some errands.

I left my friends' apartment around 70th Street and biked to my parent's place and then back via Ferry.

I really enjoyed, and I think I had a decent pace all around. More importantly I really liked it. When I ride the bike at a gym, I usually feel like a hamster on a wheel.
This time, I actually had to take care of some errands at my parents' so there was a goal. On top of all, the weather was beautiful. Not too hot, not too cold nor rainy.

On Sunday, I decided to do two full rounds at the Central Park. This time, I even timed my self to get a sense. Although, I think they were both slow, I did better in the second round than the first one (only by a minute, 24:22 and 23:27). However, this was quite surprising to me. I thought I would have been much slower in the second round.

I may actually do this more often.
