Day 3 - The right way to do this

Day 1 was cloudy and cold.. not to mention a route I've done before.  Day 2 was just enough to say I got up on two wheels for the day, but today was absolutely perfect.  Crisp air, blue skies, all that good stuff.

I got out after a long day of conference calls and other generic business responsibilities, but it felt great right away.  Did a nice warm up climb up Prospect Ave. then took a left on 6th.  I dropped in at Red Horse Cafe for a quick espresso.  I'd never been in this spot before, but i'd grab a coffee there anytime.  Boom stamp of approval.  

After the stop I just continued my trek down 6th with a few weave in and outs up to 7th and back to scope out some brownstones.  Saw at least 4 different places I'll need to stop back in when I have time to kick back with a beer or 4.. but plenty more days to fill.  

The ride down 6th continued until I got to Carroll st.  Stopped to take a look at the big church on the corner there.  I had no idea what what it was called but a quick google search let me know it's St. Francis Xavier and it was built in 1904.  Anyways it looked pretty good in the setting sun so I snapped a quick pick.. and got the idea to check out some of the other historic churches in the area (there's a lot).  

On the way back up towards the park I just happened to get caught at the same light as the license plate pictured below..  what are the odds?  I might even have known her, but the light changed and she drove off before I could do anything creepy like look in the windows.  

After the great downhill back to my place I found myself wishing I could do another hour, but I had some work stuff to get back to..  and a beer to enjoy of course.  Todays first, and most delicious, selection was a Rule of Thirds from Stillwater Artisanal.  I'd say the description on the bottle 'Hoppy Belgian Triple' covers it well.  It was great, but at 8 bucks and change for 11.2 ounces its a buy and try once type of brew.
