Rate My Ride Catching Green Lights Challenge

I am on my second hour ride going up hill by Queens Blvd in Queens of New York.

 I've been doing the Catch Green Lights Challenge through the Summer. 

I call it CGLightsC - for short.

The goal of the CGLightsC is to ride on green lights only - the way we all should :) 

Gusty wind on this hot day makes it harder to climb hills.

 I am slowing down for the Red light ahead. 

All speedsters are stuck at the red light :) 

CGLigthsC taught me to ride slower to avoid making stops.

 I used to ride faster and often go through Red lights when there was no traffic. 

You know how it goes - there is always temptation to skip the Red. 

Oops, here I skipped on the Red light - minus one point!

 I should stop - it would give me a half point plus! 

Well, bad habits are hard to change - indeed.

 Following CGLightsC rules I go slower and yet get to the finish line in about the same time. 

A short stop, only a couple seconds lost - get home safe. 

That's all it is about!

 Here I scored a half point for the stop. 

Ah, yellow light get's me no point...again, I should be making a half point stop instead. 

There is a lot of room for improvements I could make to get higher scores.

 This block is too short - I have to make a red light stop here. 

Here we go - great!

 Okay, I am about to make a stop.

 So, let's do the score on this segment. 

I started this segment at 72nd avenue on Queens Blvd. 

Finished at Northern Blvd. and 35th Ave. 

It took me about 11 minutes to ride 3.4 miles.

 I scored a total 18 points going through 23 street lights. 

18 points is my best score of the 2023 season! 

Have fun and be safe :)
