Leg 1: Home to Exchange Place. 0.72 miles.
Leg 2: WTC PATH to Church St to Murray St to the bit of greenway that runs along West St down to Battery Park: 1.19 miles.
Leg 3: Wandering around in minor circles in Battery Park in desperate effort to find the damn greenway again without hitting a 'GET OFF YOUR BIKE YOU UNWORTHY LITTLE NON-PETROLEUM USING PERSON' sign, to State Street, to South Street near the ferry terminal: 0.44 miles.
Leg 4: Ferry terminal up along South Street under the highway, occasionally pausing to get around places where the blasted vendors of illegal bootleg movies, stupid-looking caricatures, and cheap T-shirts had seen fit to set themselves up all over the supposedly safe and open bike path because hey, it's Labor Day and the tourists are out in droves, up to Stuyvesant Cove: 3.4 miles.
Leg 5: Stuyvesant Cove up to the point around 38th Street where you have to detour around the UN, onto First Avenue, past the UN, past the 59th Street Bridge, finally heading back to the riverside walkway somewhere around 62nd Street or so but don't quote me on that because I don't remember the street number: 2.57 miles
Leg 6: 62nd Streetish up to Wards Island walkway bridge, where I finally got too irritated with the condition of the greenway and the sheer number of people to want to go any further along Manhattan, over to Wards Island and down the length of their very short bike path: 2.62 miles.
Leg 7: Back from the bike path, over the walkway, down 102nd against traffic, over to the bike lane on 1st (also against traffic), up 97th to Lexington, to the Petco on 86th Street for kitty litter: 1.78 miles
Leg 8: Petco down Lexington to 5th Avenue: 1.61 miles
Leg 9: Grand Army Plaza down to 35th and over to Broadway: 1.43 miles

Took PATH home; realised on PATH I had left kitty litter in a store at Broadway by mistake; got off PATH in Hoboken

Hoboken PATH to Observer Highway to Marin Boulevard to the Target store there: 1.04 miles

No further riding as purchase of new box of kitty litter (trust me, it was an emergency- I'll get the other bag back tomorrow) made handling the bike and the load too unbalanced.

Total distance: .72+1.19+.44+3.4+2.57+2.62+1.78+1.61+1.43+1.04=16.8 miles.

Blegh.
