thanks.
thought about it today because I'll have to pretty soon
Admin is finally figuring out how to consolidate offices after years of wasted space and money. Right now, it gets it's own cubicle next to me. Actually right now, it's in a better cube than me. It's in an office with a door. My bike is higher on the totem pole than me 😱

As I sat around the house yesterday I kept hitting refresh on the weather app on my phone, hoping it would go from awesome to rain for today. It never did, so I kept coming up with other excuses to not ride, like my tires are probably low on air and I haven't lubed the chain in awhile 😱

you won't! Those barriers are clutch! Maybe too clutch for the next few days? I actually felt the sweat on my back today.
I'm gonna my best to stick to this. I'm riding a steel Jamis Quest that I really like with good components. I will hopefully commute enough to bank an exclusive commuter bike. Aka excuse for a new bike
If you run out of excuses, let me know- I've got a sh!t ton.
Wait, I mean- get out there!
I dunno about a loop, but there's actually some dirt in Van Cortland. I believe it's officially a part of the Aqueduct trail that goes all the way up to Croton dam. There's some trails off the side of the main trail, but I don't think it's very much.
When we get longer days, less chance of someone hitting us with a baseball bat and taking our bikes, may be we can take the whole trail up to the dam on some Friday.

No way Matty-
I've got a KOM up there, you think I'm bringing a fox to the henhouse? 😉
Serious, like Soundz says, I don't think there's much of a loop up there.
With a little recon, you might be able to loop around the Bronx and back down the West side, but not much in the way of bike friendly routes connecting things on the East side.
The nicest riding in the Bronx is all the way East in Pelham Bay Park, and there may not be enough to warrant a trip out- maybe 5 miles of paths,
and probably 12 or so miles from the Bridge.
A trip straight up North is feasible- folks do commute from Westchester on that route I think.
And plus Soundz knows the way....
Say when- I'm in.

I do what I do best. Did you hear about the time I sent ChrisRu into the West Side highway.

Check out the green bike paths. As you see there's not much there worth a loop. Streets around there are very busy or highways. The paved greenway path thing that goes North/South along Saw Mill will take you all the way to Brewster! Liong has done it.
If you head East in Yonkers, there's a another green line that goes North/South next to the Hudson River. That's the Aqueduct trail which will take you to Croton Dam. There's a bunch of tricky spots where street navigation is required before you get back on the trail.

Ah I did sign up and got nothing which made for a really pissed off me so I called in sick.
I ended up finishing this
frame has been hanging in my garage for a year and I had the wheels built like 6 months ago. He finally came with the the last of the parts the other day.
His first 29er.
Next is 2juilianns Misfit SS for SSaP :getsome:
Then I just got Misfit Nummers dirt Jumper that need to be built :getsome:
Finally I think I made up my mind on a replacement for the stolen Roadie which will be a complete for sure :getsome:
