I rode about 12-1/2 miles in a loop from Fresh Meadows to Flushing Meadow Park. As I got near the Unisphere I was treated to a soft but briefly heavy rainshower, almost a sunshower - it was beautiful to look at as it gently settled over the grass. And it was light enough and short enough that I could stand under a tree for until it eased, and stay dry.
Days like this let me miss my Long Island rides less - Queens has a lot to offer!
