I finally found the leaderboard - @Kaleidopete is leading everyone, even the "elites" - wooooo!!
Having some bad luck lately. I had plans for a 27-mile loop of mostly paved roads and a stretch of fire-road thru Harriman. At about 5 miles, I was riding a very narrow shoulder on Route 17 and I went over a broken bottle. Within an instant, I saw glass, heard glass, lost all air and was riding the rim. Stan's was no match for this gash. Go for the old dollar bill and tube trick. Pump, pump, pump and the tube is not holding air. Found a leak in the tube coming from old patch job. This tube hasn't seen the light of day in over 6 months. Now the tube is coated in "milk", dirt and grass. I try to clean and patch and it simply will not adhere and hold. Finally, say "F#ck it!", text my wife and start walking. She bailed me out with a lift, so I only walked about a mile. ARGH!
EDIT: I should've tried tying a knot in the tube. Anybody ever had success with this on an MTB tube?
Warren,I figured the best thing you can get for Valentine's Day is something for yourself; so selfish me got up early. Since the trails were shit, I took another ride on the road and bike paths.
I was nowhere near anything nice to snap a stunner at sunrise, but this shot on the Greenway is peaceful to me; and it was, out there this morning for the most part. I got back in time for Valentine's kisses, kids to school, and me to work. Yay bikes.

Warren,
Is this by King George's Rd in Ford's or towards Metuchen?
