I had a great ride today on the road. The weather wa just brilliant. I was a little limited on time but snook in almost 60 miles. If you're now in Hoboken then you can use the hill/ridge behind Hoboken for some short hill climbing pratice. My ride today took that in a few times and the Palisades run too"

I don't quite believe the 8k of climbing, perhaps more like 3500. And my heartbeat max is off too. But I did overtake loads of roadie winnies that trundle over from the city to ride the Palisades - me in my baggy shorts, mtb shoes, helmet with a visor and non-matching water bottles!
