Labor Day Weekend on 2 Wheels

Well... another Labor Day weekend to signify the end of summer. Boohoo. I love summer. More mountain biking in summer. Holiday weekends mean more days of riding in a row. I decided to kick off the weekend with a couple of morning road rides in Central Park Wed & Thur. Perfect weather. 60-62 degrees at 6 AM. Great rides. One of my greatest friends in the world (JW) rolls in Thursday night to kick off 3 days of great mountain biking around NYC. JW brought a couple 29ers with him just in case. The DL kitchen is full up. Mikkie doesn't seem to mind...

Friday morning and we're off to Ringwood, NJ for some rock bashing. JW hasn't been in the rough stuff lately and you can tell by his expression that he has no idea how mangled he will be in a few hours....hehehe


JW at the top before we dip in to the new trail at Ringwood...

We both survived even though I had a couple unpleasant trips over the handlebars. Kneepads are good. Fountain Coke on ice on the way back to NYC...
We finished off the day with a subway ride to Queens for some good ole Indian grub in Jackson Heights. It's hot down in those tunnels! Ride at your own risk...
