mile 9 Williamsburg Bridge

Riding on the Williamsburg bridge was not as impressive in person. For one thing, you're constantly surrounded by these huge metal screen walls. The screens constricted the views of both Manhattan and Queens. At the apex of the bridge, I stopped for some water and beef jerky. On the down slope, the bridge was an absolute thrill to glide cross. I was able to glide to a speed of 25 mph or so before leaving the bridge and entering queens.
