Our 3rd Sunday ride took us on an 11-mile tour through the Ironbound, a close up inspection of the Red Bulls Arena, a long ride through Harrison & Kearny, and a harrowing trek across a decaying, abandoned train bridge 60 feet above the Passaic River that is part of the Iron & Ice trail. Along [...]

First, the old Benefit Mutual Life Insurance Building on the corner of 2nd.
Next the Mt Pleasant Cemetery, by far the most interesting cemetery in Newark. It’s [...]
The leaves were at autumn peak last Sunday in Maryland so a friend and I biked 12 miles (24mi. r/t) of the Baltimore-Annapolis Trail, an old railroad right-of-way now bike trail that runs from the BWI Airport to Annapolis. It’s part of the East Coast Greenway.
