The roads seem to have taken a major beating. The amount of wasted salt is appalling. There are spots where the side of the road has an inch or more of salt just sitting there. This is a total waste of money and it destroys the roads. Not to mention the environmental impact if all the salt. There has to be a better way.

I was very glad to have the tubeless road wheels today. 90 psi is like butter..
 
Not I! I am still in grizzly mode though spent the weekend in my garage and building a bike bench. I have officially considered myself a garage hoarder. I will be having a super spring cleanout sale soon. Lots of parts, tools and miscellaneous shit...

Pm me for first crack at the goods. K thanks
 
Finally ... got out for a decent road ride today. Started off with some legs in me, but shut down any effort once I hit the climbs on the east side of Easton Road (Route 611) north of Doylestown. By the time I turned around to climb back, I had a head wind on me for the last 20 miles. Have a long way to go until I'm feeling in shape again, especially my legs, but I was happy with my cardio fitness -- when I needed to push, it was there. Not so much the legs yet.

others state been using brine solutions and some state also been using calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) this one is expensive compare to traditional salt. and also low impact on enviroment.

tubeless tire? hmm me don't like that.😀

I am very interested in the RaymondBlvd,Truck1/9,FishHouseRoad/RT7 segment. Other than some wrong turns how bad was that segment in terms of danger with auto/truck traffic? I live in Plainfield and work in Jersey City and would like to ride to work once per week in the summer and that segment was the bit I had my doubts about... (were some of the bridges rides in a ped walkway?)

thanks in advance.
