Comment on I love that hill! by metaljaybird

Pete,

The path is near Pfizer on 53. It starts on 53, and ends out behind the Dunkin Donuts parking lot on Route 10 and 202.

I’ve wiped out just once, but I’ve noticed that the trail is shifting, so it’s a little bit fishy right now. I still take it, but while tampering my breaks instead of bombing.

I’ve never been on the path but I noticed you can see it fon both sides of Old Dover rd. (I’m assuming it’s the same path.since it runs along the high tension wires there too. It looks pretty steep but will try it one day when I’m a little more daring and on the mountain bike.

Hi
Just curious, I have a 1970ish? Raleigh gran sports (white and light blue) and am trying to find the proper size headset to replace mine. Not sure if you did any searching and could tell me what headset would work. I’m assuming it’s probably something I could still get new or NOS. Thanks for any advice. It’s a great bike and i’m getting some new stuff put on.

Glen

Still, the odds are against us as cyclists. This is why I set up this blog, to motivate me to ride, report on any mean drivers, and as a means of entertainment. Unfortunately, it has been quiet lately, which kind of reflects the amount of riding I’ve been involved with.

Somehow my left shoulder has been killing me, I haven’t figured out if it is related to my riding posture, or my sleeping habits. I plan on riding tonight at the Denville thing.

I dont have many ‘run ins’ with them but I think there is something to the .1% (point 1) of the population being a-holes or however you wanna put it.
1 in a 1,000 cars has some ignoramus jerk to look out for?

Yup, the ranting helps! I usually try and not rant at my non-bikey friends and family cause I think it just makes them more nervous about me biking all over.
Some lady honked and got obscene with me a coupla weeks ago for riding my bike in front of her. I stopped to talk with her and she got real nasty, such a nice looking old lady too. It kinda grated on me for a while til I ranted to Kendra.., just a quick email or chat is good for letting it go.

Thanks, I’m more cautious now when I take that route to work. The hill can be deceiving, so I make sure I slow down ahead of time before hitting that sharp turn.

I had a longer entry for this, but toned it down. I figured I’d mention it, and that would be my rant. However, I’m sure this has happened to quite a few cyclists out therre.

I have one friend who wears cycling gloves every time he rides, because he thinks it will save his hands if he falls like that.

I’m glad you’re ok!
