I may just possibly be wrong, but I think I may have an idea of what happens to the Ulgos after the Malloreon is over- or at least to that faction of the Ulgos that believes that the caves were not intended for them from the beginning as their permanent home.( The books are I dunno how old, but I'm not gonna spoiler unnecessarily. )

Today, I circumnavigated the Hudson.

Which is to say I set out from home on my bicycle, rode it from Jersey City all the way up to the George Washington Bridge*, rode OVER the George Washington Bridge, rode down along the Hudson to the World Trade Center PATH station**, took the train to the Exchange Place PATH station, eeped at the sight of a multi-block music festival*** that I could not possibly ride through, detoured one block to the right, rode to the Subway store, got a sammitch, and rode home.

26.2 miles on bike and foot, then the train journey, then 0.78 miles.

55 miler next weekend, here I come.


*(pausing once to walk it uphill- this was RIGHT around Palisades Park, which is really lovely to ride in but happens to be at the foot of cliffs that HATE HATE HATE people- not to mention that the road narrows down to one lane, no shoulder, in either direction and it is twisty and the cars want to kill you)

**(i.e., the furthest south point from which you can get from Manhattan to NJ on weekends without going weirdly out of your way on a ferry)

***(which may have been a cultural festival, but I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be Caribbean nations, Afro-Caribbean immigrant culture, or African-American in nature- the attendees were primarily Black and a lot of Jamaican flags were in sight, but so were other Caribbean flags and some flags I didn't recognize at all, and the music was rap and performed in English)
