I did it! I got on bike and rode 60km across five boroughs of New York City! It was not a trivial task for me, as the longest I rode a bike in the past was ~30km. So this tour would be twice that. It was a challenge for me that I had to prepare for. And I did! I hit the gym, I got on a bike and I’ve prepared. I’ve set the goal and I worked towards achieving it. It was a reminder for me that if I set my mind into something, I can achieve it. So I cried a little when I got through the finish line. It was personal.
The tour itself was amazing. People were very positive, cheering each other up and starting little chit-chats. The uphills on bridges were challenging, but I didn’t got off bike on any of those – I rode all the uphills!
And finally, after 8 years got back to New York. And I fell in love again! But more on that later – now I’m just going to say that it cannot be another 8 years to visit it again.
