we are having one of the mildest winters that I can ever remember on the east coast....which is making New York City actually the best city in the world as of right now. If winters were always like this, lets not forget last winter though, this would be the perfect seasonal climated place to live.
Friday night I layered up and headed to Kickstart Cycle's Pothole Social in Lodi, NJ. We watched the screening of the EDR movie from last year's event and it definitely looked like fun. Maybe next time I'll have to muster up the time off and join the crew. ALSO, it was the magazine release part for Greasy Kulture's newest issue, so the party was a triple win for all! GK is one of my favorite biker mags right now. Content is always great.
The Social was at cool bar right of Rt. 80, only about 4 miles from the George Washington Bridge so I figured the ride wouldn't be too cold. And it was right. Sure, the thermometer read 38 degrees when I left Brooklyn, but with warm clothes, a nice leather jacket and the full face helmet, it was fine.
Of course, I reminded myself of the day that Malcolm and I rode up to the Seaweed Yacht Club though a few months ago. Same first half of the route, except instead of getting on 80, we headed up the Palisades. OK, I'll admit, that time of year is much better. Sweating through the manhattan traffic to be rewarded by the trees and the open road while riding along the Hudson River. Yeah, that was nice.
