Rolled to Valentino Pier in #RedHook #Brooklyn Friday afternoon hoping to watch the Queen Mary 2 set sail, but alas, she departed later than the schedule I'd seen and it was too damn windy for me to hang around any longer than I did.

That said, it was F-ing awesome to roll the recently repaved Jay Street and Brooklyn Bridge Boulevard to and from.

Also very cool to pass by an art wall on 2nd Ave in #Gowanus.

Photo looking across a brownfield with the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner just beyond at right, its bow near the center of the picture. In the distance at left is the Downtown Manhattan skyline.

Photo looking down a street resurfaced so recently there are almost no lane markings. There are several cyclists just ahead, and car traffic in the oncoming lane.
