A Maze In Manhattan



View A Maze'n Manhattan in a larger map



John, Mark and Mary took their bikes on the PATH up to 33rd Street.  Rode bikes through Midtown Manhattan (Yikes!) and then through Central Park (roads closed to cars, nice) and up to Mod Squad Cycles (the bike shop Dan manages) in Harlem.  John is considering purchasing a folding bike to be able to take on the PATH (regular bikes are prohibited during rush hour) and then ride to his office.  Then we all went to the Dive Bar down on 96th for a cold beer.  Natalie met us there.  From this point on, the story gets complicated, but in a nutshell the PATH trains all shut down for an unknown period of time which meant it was extremely complicated to get back to New Jersey.  If you click on the link below the map and then enlarge, you can get all the details.  But it ended up that Mark and I had a beautiful ride on the Hudson Greenway from 125th Street to the World Trade Center PATH station at 10:00 p.m.  So 18 miles of riding - not bad for someone who said she wasn't going to ride much in Manhattan!
