NYPD officer Perez strikes again! I think I know why we're attractive to him.
6--count 'em--6 ClimBathon riders were ticketed today by the all too well known (and perfectly pleasant, but, then, why shouldn't he be?) Ofc. Perez. This was on Riverside, around 120th St. In our group: two lawyers, one being the notable "bike" lawyer, Steve Vaccaro. Neither was ticketed. Ofc. Perez said he wrote the ticket for a less expensive option. According to him: $50 and no points on your license. Nevertheless, at the PIPC station in Alpine we ran into someone who was similarly ticketed some while ago and who reported, yeah, you send in your fifty bucks and the court sends you an invoice for ca. $200, stating your check is received as a guilty plea, please pay the remainder.

Vamos a la playa (Ft. Tilden)
I've been to the beach once this summer and it was a fantastic. It was a great sunny day, the beach wasn't to crowded and the water was delicious - perfect temperature and enough action to do some body surfing or just bob with the waves. I'm going back tomorrow. If you'd like to join me, send me an email and I'll wait at one of two points for you.
WE SAW "Premium Rush" today
I enjoyed it--sensational photography & special effects. Most of it took place on the West Side from Columbia down to Chelsea and in Chinatown.
