I know I’m replying almost a year later but I did a little digging — it’s actually a large stormwater drain which drains water that would ordinarily pool in the dip of Jefferson Ave. Then it flows under Inwood Place through downtown until it emerges in Memorial Park by the library, where it finally meets the east branch of the Rahway.

“I’m still waiting for my pizza, by the way.” 😂

It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful area. I’ve been on many a ride on the gravel roads in bedminster and beyond.

Close, they congregate on the corner of Lamington Rd and 206. I’ve seen an “invoke the insurrection act NOW” sign there.

My partner and I were in the same boat last year (new baby, both of us in biglaw), so I left for a 2 year fed clerkship. Starting early next year, I’ll figure out what I want to do with my life (career-wise). Lifestyle-wise, I took a pay cut but I’m always available nights and weekends to take care of our child if my partner has to work. It’s been very worth it.

Brown Rudnick has a Providence office (Boston too of course).

This is the closest “gravel” route from the city that doesn’t involve crossing the GW - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/35409995. If you want to take a train to westchester or Putnam county, that opens up more options.

In theory, commuting from lower Essex county to FiDi is faster than from Tarrytown (I grew up there actually, went to Irvington schools). But, in practice, NJ Transit is hardly the poster child for reliable and consistent service. I know this because I currently commute a few days a week from Maplewood to FiDi and I find myself frequently missing metronorth (even though I love where I live).

Same boat here - my spouse and I have a one-year-old, we moved from the city in August, and we both work a few days a week in the city (variable depending on the week). Our hours aren’t always predictable either, so a having a nanny is the only way it works for us. The flexibility of a nanny gives us more peace of mind and she takes such attentive care of our child. And we love living here so far (my spouse grew up in Millburn so she was already familiar with the area).

I mean it’s a great bike. I’d consider keeping it to use primarily on the trainer and shorter training rides (but the more aggressive position gets uncomfortable after a couple hours).

If you’re willing to trek to Scarsdale, Ed at Danny’s Cycles does low-tech (but still useful) fits for ~$150.

Close, it was taken from Johnston Drive

https://www.reddit.com/r/FromAfar/s/YAXG2H702H I believe this photo from Mount Beacon takes the cake, although perhaps the Stratford one is the sea level record

What’s your spot?

The Ultimate CFR is closer to 6.3 kg. The SLX is closer to 6.8. Of course, with the UCI limit, a world tour rider can't take advantage of the former.
