Conditions are excellent. Note that Central Park can be very busy, but as there is no car traffic, there's usually enough space for everyone.

Southern entry into Central Park. If you want to go north through Manhattan, there is the possibility to escape the dense New York traffic here in the park in addition to the Hudson Trail on the bank.

Today I repeated the second stage of "The Big Spin 2024" for the ranking, because Zwift crashed the other day and didn't save😞. Since then there have been no more pictures 🤔 They're working on it...👨‍💻 Komoot is also missing 70 meters of elevation.
