  • 40-mile loop

    Here is another loop ride I’ve been doing. This is an exceptionally beautiful ride mid-morning or as I did yesterday, after work as the sun starts to drop in the sky.

  • We had a ton of people over and we were fortunate that our neighbors were kind enough to let the party spillover into their backyard where we setup a stage on their back deck and rocked.

    Neighbor Brian McCourt is on Drums. Willisbros on everything else.

  • Great 30-mile loop from Red Bank to Marlboro

    I rode a fantastic 30 miler this AM. With both kids at camp until noonish, I had the morning to myself. I plotted out this little gem of a ride on gmap-pedometer:

    30 mile loop

    Here’s a link to the route itself. I can’t recommend this route enough. Great hills and it goes through some of the most beautiful parts of Monmouth County.

  • The back yard recovered nicely from the 100 or so folks we had over for fireworks. Hope we can do that again next year. We had a blast.

  • One of my first cookbooks. Jay & I used it to make pancakes this AM.
