Looking for a ride co-leader for a recurring Wednesday ride, B17
The basic ride plan is something that I've been doing solo - ride to the Whole Foods in Closter, NJ (near, though not quite at, the intersection of Piermont Road & Closter Dock Road), spend 30-40 minutes grocery shopping, ride home with the groceries. I've been trying to leave home (West 110s) a little bit before 8 AM for arrival at the store at 9. (8-9 AM is a seniors-only hour.) Assuming I finish shopping around 9:30, I'm generally home again around 10:30 AM or a little after. The B17 pace becomes somewhat notional hauling groceries up the hill to Englewood Cliffs. Usually I climb Booth. ;-)
There wedre 47 people in Strictly's parking lot when I was there Sunday. How many of them had masks?
I'm not talking about not wearing them; I'm talking about just having them around their neck.
Answer (excluding those I rode with): 2 out of 47.
GWB report: Maybe 1 out of 8 were wearing masks. Needless to say not one of the speedsters darting in and out had one on.

As for my ride, my first in six months, who would think you could lose your legs yet gain 8 lbs. I have.

Hello summer !
NJ Road Closures -UPDATE a/o June 8
- N. Woodland from Douglas north is closed, They were starting the repaving today, 6/1. It will probably be closed a few more days. You CANNOT climb Churchill right now because you can't turn onto Woodland at the top. Woodland is now open and beautifully repaved...and you can climb Churchill, if that's your poison.
- The upper end of Hardenburgh (at Anderson) is closed for the rest of this week - they're laying new pipes. Hardenburgh is now open and the road surface is fine - all the work was done on the eastbound (uphill) side and it's been nicely patched.
