It is said that the remarkable thing about a dancing bear is not that it dances very well, but that it dances at all. 

These 3 routes: Baby Bear, Moma Bear and Papa Bear, are remarkable for their difference in our spectrum of rides, and in how well they dance:

New Jersey Transit does not require a bike permit, yet trains to Trenton leave NYC Penn Station hourly and either end of their double decker cars are very bike-friendly for passage of 2 bikes.

I've noticed that the last couple of times I downloaded a ride course from ridewithgps and started the ride, the course did not give advance warning of upcoming turns.  It simply informed me of a turn immediately after the turn (not very helpful).   Past courses I rode did have advance notice.   I'm wondering if there is something I need to set on the Garmin unit or am I supposed to somehow manipulate the course file before downloading it to the Garmin.

Assistance appreciated. tx.

Due to the depressing weather forecast for tomorrow morning.  In the event of a weather miracle, I bet there'll be people meeting at Engineer's Gate at 5:45 AM.  A weather miracle is defined as totally dry roads and absolutely no rain falling from the sky.  Like I said, a miracle.

Besides, a brain surgeon who eschrews trauma prevention for the public is like a dentist who gives out candy on Halloween.

The PANYNJ site says the South walk is open but I received an email last night at 9:25PM from PANYNJ that the "GWB Sidewalk is closed for safety conditions".

What is open if anything?
