you surely will get yourself no where fast if every ride you are murdering yourself. i know from personal experience. 🙄

No commute for last few weeks or more. No road miles really to speak of. I realize now that commuting is really my only way to get miles. So tomorrow, it's on, I'll throw a 40 in the evening, and 30 in the morning.
We need to do the Team road ride again. I thought the few rides we did during the summer were pretty awesome. Even if its a smaller group.

Sleep is overrated 😉
I have an FB dilemma
Some girl from my high school contacted me on facebook, and friend requested me, I accepted. I have no idea who she is. I thought it was the girl I took to the prom... but then she posted up her profile picture, and it isn't her. Unless years took a big toll, but no, it doesn't even look like her remotely. But she acts like we were intimate or something. I know I did some brain cell destroying things, but still I should have SOME memory of who she is. I'm not sure there is a good way to tease out a connection of some sort. I should just ask, "hey who are you anyways?" or "remember when we ... oh wait, I don't".

Commute home from work -
Awesome feel good ride. Warm, which won't last.
I took my standard route and took it up and through Sourlands, and managed to keep it under 40miles. This is good. I like good roads. Life is too short for un-fun roads
Time: 02:25.55
Distance: 38.4 miles
Avg Speed: 15.8 mph
Max Speed: 36.7
Avg HR: 120bpm
Elevation gain: 2115 feet

Tomorrow I'm probably going to do another 40 back the same way.
My VholdR came today. Euphoria short lived. I think I got a bum unit. Video is all choppy, sound is no good, and the video file won't upload to my video editing software (where my other videos do). So I'm going call support tomorrow. Oh well. 😡

Check the VholdR forums. The community is really good about posting problems and resolutions. The tech guys jump into the forums too so you know you are getting good guidance.

I would look to ensure that your computer has all of the correct drivers and other stuff it needs to handle the video from the cam.
i see you took snydertown, was this the first time you took that road? I tried it for the first time this past week and it is a gem.

This it too familiar...... Im constantly send text messages to my old longtime friend asking him things like "who the f* is (Insert female name here)". Sometimes we figure it out, sometimes I'm at a total loss. Sometimes the revelations are shocking...... 😀

Snydertown is included in most of my road rides.
If I could make a suggestion, you might linger a bit longer on those Sourland backroads. When you get to the end of Snydertown, make a left on Stony Brook Rd. Then right on Mountain Church Rd. Then left on Rileyville Rd. Then right on Ridge Rd. Then right on Lindberg Rd (freshly paved BTW). From there you can take either Spring Hill Rd or Hollow Rd. back down to Rt 518 - either choice is good. This will add a little mileage to your journey but those roads are definitely worth it.
I have done that a few times, excellent couple of roads there.
Jeff, does the dirt section of stony brook connect with mountian road? I think on the maps it shows it does and I have seen both ends of it but never tried it. With my new ride it will make for a nice little connector.

Yes. I've actually done that dirt section on my skinny tires. On wider tires you should be golden.
cool, on the list!
the climbing on stony brook and moutain church is also deceiving. Whenever I come off of 518 (actually cross over 518) onto Stony Brook I always underestimate the elevation change of that road.

This whole area is great.
Also consider Snydertown to Stony Brook to Van Dyke to Hopewell-Pennington to Crusher.
There are so many options out there. 🙂
