21 miles today. Home to Jersey City to the Hudson River Walkway through Port Imperial, then up to regular roads and down Broadway into Bayonne, then across the Bayonne Bridge and back. Granted, I had to get off and walk for the central span of the bridge, but that was because of a) signs forbidding bicycling and b) the desire not to die. The pedestrian walkway on the central part of the bridge is quite narrow and there is a safety rail that comes up to about a hand or so higher than my waist, but there is no fence atop that save for two areas where the purpose is very obviously to keep idiot pedestrians from climbing up onto the bridge's maintenance access. If the wind picks up while one is crossing the center of the bridge, well... anyway, like I said, I got off and walked there. Made it to the Staten Island side, took a picture of the borough sign, debated picking a mulberry off one of the trees there- they overhang that part of the sidewalk- and opted not to. Turned around and came back home, getting on the light rail at Danforth St. or Ave. or whatever the hell Danforth is, because I'd done the twenty I wanted for the day and I really just wanted to stop pedaling at that point. The last mile came into play because I had to ride home from Hoboken Terminal.

Will be showering in a bit. Right now I just need to sit on something that's wider than my pelvis.
