Hey Guy

Nice to hear the paeans to my hometown.

I was born and raised in the city. Lived my first 20 years in the bronx and the following 34 in manhattan.
 
I love new york city in many ways. But am very lucky to have an escape valve 2hrs away on Sullivan county, NY.
I have a simple house on a dirt road, an organic garden and have to shoo the turkeys off the front lawn at times. (if I had a gun, I would be tempted to shoot the damn deer off the lawn as they eat my flowers, trees etc.)

Can't imagine living full time anywhere else. However, I wouldn't mind having the discretionary income to spend 3 winter months in Colorado or other ski-full area!

JB, you are right, the riding in circles in CP can be boring. However, the easy access up the west side to the GWB and over to the riding in NJ or to Harriman State Pk, give riders looking for more diversity and miles a reasonable alternative.

There are an amazing number of bikers heading over the footpath on the GWB every sat/sun mornings!
