Going Long and Hard.

Happy Free Slurpee Day from me and Jackson.

First time going down Washington Rock since the last time that ended badly. Still pretty nervous letting the bike go on descents. Hopefully that goes away soon because I’m definitely worse at letting the bike during ascents.
 
Shark Ride.

Rode to Matawan Creek. Here’s the Maneater Mural. It’s on the wrong side of the tunnel but I guess they had to make it easy Instagram friendly.

Hike a biked through the woods to get to the actual spot the attacks happened. Much easier to do in a kayak IMO.

Went into Keyport to have lunch before going to the cemetery but Nature’s Plate was closed. So, bridge.

Then I did a short loop through my old hood to see if the house I grew up in was still a shit hole.

It is. My room was upstairs in the back overlooking the beach at least.

At the graveyard I ran into the Matawan Historical Society, they were setting up for a Tour. They had over 200 people signed up so I was glad to get in and out before the groups showed up.

Also happened across a relative of sorts. I’ve never met my biological family so I have no idea if this person is related to me.

Started to head back home but still haven’t eaten so I decided to make a 30ish mile detour to visit my friends at Baklava Lady in Englishtown.

Not a bad day. Hot AF again. Thankfully this was a short one.

That was a nutty Commute. Watchung and Plainfield are absolutely fucked. Again. Trees and cars everywhere. Roads ripped up most of the way home. Eventually made it up and over Washington Rock. Took hours to get over there walking through deep ass water. My wife was on Rt22 when it started raining so we eventually ended up on Rock Ave at the same time. Rt22 had water over the median. Took a pic on Washington Rock, there’s a shit ton of videos on the news of everything else.

Basement is flooded again but I pretty much got it waterproof last time so it shouldn’t be as bad. Although I had a Red and Force group sitting on the platform next to my trainer so that’s not great.

Welcome to the new normal as this becomes a weekly thing? Should probably build more townhouses and wawas on the ridge so the water has nowhere to go 🤷
