Preriding some @jimvreeland Masochist Fest miles 60-70, we saw the kind of thing that you won't find on the left coast:

Late start and not the longer ride I wanted but better than nothing. Didn't realize Wertzville rd doesn't come out on 31 so took a slight detour in the southern part of Flemington (I think).

Back on the wagon:
2/2, 1:17 https://www.strava.com/activities/853329033
(maybe some day...)
Got about 1/2 way to Northfield Ave, realized I didn't have a water bottle. Had stuff to do, so I didn't want to go back to get it. Mistake. I got about 1/4 of the rest of the way up Northfield and pretty much collapsed. Walked the rest of the way up, and soft pedaled into Millburn to get water. Not an auspicious (re)start to riding/working on climbing.
2/8, 2:56 https://www.strava.com/activities/859906807
Got home from visiting parents, installed new (accessory) belts in the car, and decided it was too nice not to ride. Ran inside, got dressed, and realized I hadn't eaten anything all day (1:30). Stuffed a doughnut in my mouth, ate a spoonful of peanut butter, and packed a doughnut sandwich (peanut butter, natch). Was still a little wobbly coming home, but I made it (hooray). I also did not bring enough water with me on this ride...pattern forming?

Lovely springtime ride, almost played hooky, Had to get it in cause I'm one of the only MTBers in the state without a fat bike but that may have to change.

Almost dint, but couldn't not get out today.
I have the usual local loop. We all do.
It's usually about an hour or so, on good days it's getting out and avoiding traffic, on bad days it's a step above reading tax code on the trainer.
Today was somewhere in between.
It mostly parallels busy streets, but there's no avoiding interections and lights. No country roads here.
Halfway through I decided to branch off and explore alternates. While I was ahead of real rush hour, I timed it perfectly for 3p schools letting out and soccer mom rush hour (note to self- don't do that).
Anyway, I dint die.

It's multiplying.
02/09/17: Wasn't able to get out to enjoy yesterday's spring like weather, so I snuck out early this am to get some miles in before the snow builds. I'm still a bit under the weather and the 4"+ on the ground made this a very slow ride. I was seriously considering bailing as there was 2"-3" on the ground as I was leaving my house....so glad I stuck with it.

Hit the trails with my budman after work.

First tracks on the local dirt before work. Had 2" to start and like 4" after an hour. Dat wind was blowing little stingee needles into my face most of the way. The moon tide was up into the park again too.

2/8: If any body I work with could manage time, I could've got in another ride on my return from Boston. But, NOOOO!
2/9: Riding around the hood in the snow. 4-6" around 9:00AM. Worked in a mix of on and off road. It was nice having very little car traffic on the road sections. I really enjoy riding during an actual snow storm
