Sergeantville, the easy way

Laura OLPH decided that, while she wanted to go back to Sergeantsville (with the last covered bridge in NJ, and the very cool stop owned by an Asian family), she didn't want to go the same way, so she came up with this excellent route (forgive the little appendix pointing towards Croton; we took a wrong turn). Not too hilly, and some of the wicked hills were in the OTHER direction, so we got to go down them instead of having to climb (like that section between mile 27-28, Pine Hill Road, would be a penitential climb - although maybe I'm just thinkin' that way because Lent is coming). Eight started, and four finished, which is particularly bad for Slugs ride: two decided towards the end of the ride that they didn't want to keep the pace; and Laura decided to drop in at Harts, her LBS (local bike shop), for a cable adjustment, so Chris, who rode in with her, did the chivalrous thing and provided company for her.

A little colder than I would have liked, but a great ride, nonetheless. This week, I actually ate enough to get through the ride, and I can tell: my weight is still up. There is no justice.

Perhaps tomorrow, out from Cranbury with Winter Larry.
