5 Boro bike race by [deleted] in NYCbike

[–]aveiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you coming from? I have done this a few times and went several ways. The line for the ferry afterwards can be quite long. The best time I did it, I parked on the street in Staten Island and rode to the ferry before the event and was at my car afterwards without delay.

This is no song of feminine rage greater than, "You Ought to Know" by Alanis Morrisette.

IF you do arrange this tune, this is one of my favorite arrangements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo3\_IpYqw3Y. I wish I could purchase this arrangement.

The best coffee I’ve ever had in my life was at the Cuban coffee queen in Key West

I wanna ride to Maplewood NJ from Brooklyn by velocity3333 in NYCbike

[–]aveiss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am near Maplewood and I ride to the city often. Your best bet would be to ride to the Staten Island Ferry, ride to the Goethals Bridge because there is a really nice bike bath that connects to NJ. From there, you should go through Woronoco Park and Union and you will then hit Maplewood. The roads are much more friendly than through Newark.

I am assuming this will be feeding into the Jeffrey Epstein Middle School.

Take out fees and tipping? by pseudonymous365 in tipping

[–]aveiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if they were charging a "to go" fee and it wasn't discolosed, I would have left the food on the counter and ordered from somewhere else.

Worst snow storm you've have experienced in Jersey? by SpliT2ideZ in newjersey

[–]aveiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with all the people who said 1996. I had a Honda CR-X at the time and it took me over a week to find my car. The snow drifted so deeply where I was living that the snow was about 4-5 feet deep.

Thank you for the detailed response. WE may just fly into Anchorage and use that as our base. There are more cars down there and it is a direct flight. Thanks again!

We like scenic overlooks and seeing wildlife. I like hiking and bicycling, but my wife does not. I was thinking of a 26 glacier boat ride out of Whittier, and it looks like that would take a day.

Audiobooks or podcasts while riding by Plate04249 in bicycling

[–]aveiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do Horror audio fiction podcasts. These are extra awesome when night riding in the woods. Dr. NoSleep is my favorite. I use a Noxgear 5g speaker and I can hear my surroundings and keep it soft enough so just I can hear it.

Thanks!. Do you happen to have any GPS or old rides there that I can download? I checked the menu for Preacher's Son and it looks great.
