bike trips!
This week I've taken some long(er) bike rides to new places!
On Tuesday, I biked to nullsurface's house, for a GCD Board meeting. I've biked to that area before, but the Spring Garden bridge + the Art Museum circle is a less common and terrifying(!) ride for me. Wednesday night, I biked to the Riverview movie theater on Columbus Blvd, for the first time. (I saw Forbidden Kingdom with my college friend Jesse -- it was a beautiful movie with ornate costumes, attractive kickass women, and an AMAZING fight sequence between Jackie Chan and Jet Li.) Once I crossed the Schuylkill, I rode almost all the way east on Washington St., which took me past a lot of interesting businesses I don't usually see. And tonight! Tonight I biked to City Hall, where a group of bike riders met for a group ride down to the ballpark for a Phillies game!
It was a fun evening! The weather was pleasant for sitting outside and chatting with people, being bewildered by all the bright graphics, reading a bit of the paper, and eating ice cream. Oh, and I even saw the Phillies' Liberty Bell ring multiple times, because the Phillies scored 3 runs and shut out the Braves 5-0!
