who's out riding today?

bigW said:
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.

yesterday was my first attempt to ride from my last drop to home.
so i coulnd't give you much info about it.
x-ing bridges is fine,only after that getting into raymond blvd is kinda dangerous as there's no shoulder,so to do dat i took the opposite ped walk way to cross safely into raymond blvd. don't take 1-9 truck route or rt7 (unless you're willing to walk)

roads condition,was bad(debris and glass) once you're trying to get into newark downtown.

so,.next week i will pick the safest/possible route for you to follow (next wesnesday) and will give you more accurate details.

antgold!!

wow,.thank you for your hard effort typing all those loooong list of biking events.
much obliged!!

englewood and manhattan catched my attention,thanks again!
 
I am doing the Cranbury 200km this Sunday... I also will do the 300km this year but not the 400 or 600km... I am not trying to qualify for PBP or anything but next summer I am doing all 4 distances

The longer distances are mostly mental imo....

Thanks Norm... This would be a good opportunity to add something of substance to the board (seriously)🙂... I will take some photos and do a write up on the 2 rides... I will forewarn you though I am not much the writer type and what ever I do write in a journal is dry

Coolo.

Looking fwd to it. I won't attempt my ride we have some more hours of daylight ( May? ) so I can try inbound or outbound when it is not dark ( need two hours to do so with a safety margin ) Might dry-run it on oa weekend on the MTB and switch to the cross bike if the road surface is not completely horrible. Having a 30 mile (one way) or 60 mile (both ways) Wednesday will add a whole new dimension to my riding....
 
commuting..

from today's ride.start from c-town via 9w north and 202 west finally cr507.
