Okay, this isn't actually a <b>run</b>, so I hope I don't get this kicked out of this forum. Since my last marathon (Vermont City) ended more than a month ago, I've been spending less time running and more time biking. And I figure I'll keep that up until training begins for the Philly Marathon some time near the end of July.<br><br>
Well, today I spent my day off from work going on the longest bike ride I've ever done. I live in northern New Jersey, and I will often take my bike to Hoboken (where I lived before I got married) and ride up to the George Washington Bridge, then over into Manhattan, and then south until I can take the subway back to Hoboken for a complete loop. Today, I stretched that out a bit, and I hit all five boroughs of New York City on my loop -- which included the Staten Island Ferry, because there's no other way to get to Staten Island on a bike.<br><br>
My total ride was 55.76 miles, which is far and away the longest ride I've ever done. (The previous long was about 40). I brought along my BobCam, as I often do, and I'd like to share some of the pics I took along the way. I've also got a <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/kml/episode.kml?episodePkValues=3210645" target="_blank">pretty cool map of my route</a> from MotionBased (as recorded by my Garmin). If anyone has nothing better to do, they can look at the map and see if you can pinpoint the location where I took each shot. They are in sequential order, so that might help. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
