A non-riding day

April 28 It didn't start to rain until I was home and made supper for Matt. Rain is one thing, but rain and riding in the dark is another. So here's some miscellanea,
Bob pointed out that the Delaware Raritan Canal is more correctly The Delaware and Raritan Canal. Build ~ 1830 by Irish immigrants, it's 36 miles long and 50 feet wide. The longest thinnest state park in NJ. The canal carried coal from PA to NYC (ok, the boats on the canal carried...) and had more traffic than the Erie Canal. A map is included. The red lines approximate the route of my 85 mile ride a few days back. Another correction, Kevin doesn't "giggle," he "jiggles." Hoever, out of context, I think he'd rather giggle than jiggle.

A cool blog feature: If you click "terr" on the map, you get the terrain. By using the + or minus you can zoom in or out. The arrows move the map up down, left or right. You can use this fun feature to find how far I've climbed on a given day. If you haven't figure it out, the red line is the rides route.
