Troubled Bridge Over Water (see the play on words)
Distance 46.8 mi
Moving Time 3:10:08
Avg Speed 14.8 mi/h
Elev Gain 4,003 ft
After texting and emailing the regulars I ride with, I found one brave soul to ride with me for a cold road ride. I knew it was not gonna be warm but with my new Pactimo gear I have been doing much better in the cold weather. I made this loop on ridewithgps using some old and new roads, but too bad it doesnt tell you things like when there's a bridge out. Then we had to decide to try and walk over it or head straight up the one road I planned to avoid (Point Mountain road).
And in the usual fashion, its not a road ride in NJ with some f*cker coming too close passing us going down Naughtright road (steep downhill) close enough to me that I could read the words on her side view mirror. If I had more time and i was less cold I would have turned off on her block to educate her, but my buddy kept yelling behind me to keep going (he knows me well)
Anyway, what was supposed to be a less hilly ride turned into a stop and go hillclimbing adventure, mostly because I ended up running late to pick up my son from his sleepover and i was lucky the kids dad was willing to drive him home. so i had to keep stopping to call/text/get Text YELLED AT BY THE WIFE ALL IN CAPS
On the other hand, this is excellent prep for HoH which my buddy is also doing with me, so in the end we suffered but it was good to overcome the cold and unexpected hills and still finish not feeling completely dead. I did get home and consume 3 days worth of food in 3 hours tho so that was good. then i took a nice powernap.
