River Road With The Wife

2010 Mileage: 3140

Saturday Lindsay and I set off on the longest bike ride she has ever done and ended up with 41 miles on the day. After a long breakfast of waffles and coffee (becoming our saturday morning ritual) I took her on one of my favorite rides around as we headed up the Hudson River bike path and over the George Washington Bridge and then continued North along the Hudson in Palisades Park over in New Jersey. We went at a fairly casual pace as Lindsay learned to transition from spin class to a long ride outside but she did amazingly well and really seemed to enjoy the ride asking to do it again on our next day off together. We also got lucky with an 80% chance of rain in the forecast and not seeing a drop of it. I'm looking forward to taking her up the Alpine Hill climb on our next trip out there.
