Even though the rain/snow hasn't arrived yet it is 33 degrees with 19 mph wind out of the north. I am cancelling the ride.

With the season's first ClimBathon a scant three weeks away (temperature permitting), this geriatric will have, oh, let's just round it off to the nearest mile: 0 miles for the year.

The access ramp and hairpin turn up to the GW are my nemisis every summer.  I am "clicked in" and have found that after several different approaches to getting up this darn thing I'm most comfortable walking my bike just past the turn and then jumping on...from there I have no issues with the rest of the bridge into NJ and no issues coming down. 

Is this just awful to walk up past the turn?  I have a fear of falling (plus staying out of everyone's way) trying to make that turn especially when it's crowded with cyclists, pedestrians, which is almost always the case.  I definitely need to work on my balance which would probably help.

Someone needs to pick this up and manufacture it! I don't ride with a GoPro, but I would totally get this for my commutes.

Has anyone got a pass for the upcoming five borough bike tour?
