n to Coney Island.
The bike leg was relatively stress-free, thanks in part to some seriously upgraded cycling infrastructure. One bottleneck was the Brooklyn Bridge, which was overrun with tourists who didn't get the concept that part of the walkway is designated for cyclists. This did not stop Simon from taking a picture of us in motion, though:
We arrived at Coney Island and locked up the bikes (again, at a recently installed bike parking facility). We got ready to jump in:
(Simon isn't angry, he's just getting ready for the cold water).
Finally, time for the swim. Simon had brought his waterproof camera with him, and he has posted the results on facebook - if anyone can tell me how to download the video, that would be great. In the meantime, here's the link .
Happy New Year to all, and I hope to see more of you next year!
