Early start to ride up the 2 km grade of near mountain. That and to bear the heat forecast for today.
The Nyack hill was harder about a mile long but steeper.
Bike shop closed on Monday in Nyack but met riders and got route advice.
Strong headwind crossing the Palisades. Had to pedal downhill, a fitting finish. Doubt I could have done todays ride two weeks ago. Much stronger rider now. Even enjoyed doing Bear Mt today.
Stated the night in Fort Lee as no room in NYC until tomorrow. Next is over the bridge and into the city but that is for another day.
Trip mileage to date is just over 700 miles. 15 days on the road.
