Close enough!
Was that one of the bridge that was closed right before the shut down? They finally finished carter road in Princeton, opened this week after closing LAST APRIL. If you think the state level is bad(consultants actually keep that a float), the county level is ridiculous and don't even bother with municipal.
Yup. They got the barriers up, did a few days of demo, and then halted. It was good, cause they closed the road but could hike a bike. Slowly started back up, span is now gone. too far to jump

1/25 Little Bit of Everything

We were gonna ride from Port Monmouth to Highlands on the HHT and then check out the top of Hartshorne for trail conditions, figured worst case the bunker loop is paved. Also I was informed that the big gun had been properly installed at the battery, so we wanted to see that. Anyway, we rode the HHtrail but it was fenced off closed at the marina. So we turned to the road. Tombo wanted to checkout this patch o'woods where he had seen some recent activity to see if it connected to Harts. Sketchy entrance on the highway; up up then rambling around a bit in a small hilly area, we appeared to be on the right track until we upset a neighbor who mentioned "we better turn our bikes around the way we came and GTFOH." So we did. Oops, sorry. She yelled and waved her flashlight some more as if that would make us go away faster; we obviously couldn't have ruined her night any more.
Head back thru some backstreets then ride out to the Spy House, pier, and beach, for a whirl then call it a night. The rebuilt pier is much longer and beefier than the old one, also pumped lots of sand bayside in that area.
Nice night, nice company, nice ride. We made plans to go back in the daytime and figure out that connector.

1/26 - Heavy Bike Triple
Commute to work - 2:00 It was surprisingly warm this morning. Rain was in the forecast. Thankfully, light drizzles in Allentown and Lawrenceville was the only rain I saw.
Lunch Ride - 1:05 As the sun started peeking through the clouds and the temp started to climb, the bike was calling from the bike rack outside. I wanted to go hang out at the top of Baldpate. It's been a while since I've been there. So I took the steal roadie up the hill and through the woods to the clearing at the top. I sat at the picnic table, snapped a few pics, took in the moment and then facetimed wifey before heading back to work. On the way back, I decided to cut through Washington's Crossing and hit some singletrack.
Commute home 1:31:11 Nice and easy ride home. Tail wind for 8 miles then side wind for 12 and a head wind for 2. The side wind had me laughing cause I was doing that side wind lean

Saturday:
I rode with Jimmy. He won't wear team colors when he rides with me because he's afraid shenanigans are going to happen. Fair enough.
Today:
Commute. Got cute with it and cut it off at exactly 1:00:00. Once processed, moving time = 59:59. Zero points.
Did score this historic landmark for the bonus.

Rick's first tour of Hartshorne and Huber began in the rain and ended at Bahr's bar.

+1 I was really worried when I got there because I thought I was just going to walk on through like I did on my last few times though there. My light was dying and when I saw there was no way I was jumping across I thought I was screwed, it's a long way back. Luckily I checked the Garmin and saw that Ronin shoots over to Pleasant Run. If not, I would have been stopping at @fidodie 's house for some IPA's while I waited for the SAG wagon.

Treacherous conditions due to slippery roots, rocks and leaf-cover trails in the rain.
No pictures from the ride, just of the 12% Regular Coffee recovery drink.
