Thursday Loop

I hit the Path at 4:00pm, a beautiful end to a freakishly warm Winter Solstice. The first thing I noticed was the plume of smoke rising from Elizabeth New Jersey....

And Now the 82nd Street Pothole Report....

Dear DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan
This is Not a Repair but a very temporary, damaging and cheap solution to a situation which has become obvious over the past few decades, Why is this Bike Path So Neglected?

Sincerely, Regular Shore Parkway Bike Path User

Oh, Look! A Cheap soon to be dangerous repair!

Small Debris Warning...

When I took these pictures the black top was very soft.

And a continuation of the previous pothole...

Let's see how long it takes before this punches through to the bottom? One good snowstorm should do it...

   
Other than the Huge Pothole no other major changes happened on the bike path. Except the new addition to our skyline. That huge plume of smoke rising from Elizabeth New Jersey.....

The plume of smoke almost lined up with the pier

You could definitely smell it...

Stay Warm and Ride Safe!

Sunday on the Path

I hit the path around 3:30pm about an hour before sunset....

Developing crack in Zone 4

 Zone 6 Heavy Sand condition.... Only the wind has somewhat helped this situation.

Deep pits and loose rocks...

Hi! My camp for the hour!

So clear you can see Jersey!

The sun is setting, time to go home...

 The view from the bridge between Plum Beach and Flatbush Avenue....

Foot path in bad need of a repave....

 What's left of Plum Beach, currently "A beach of Sand bags"....

The bike path is completely washed away and your forced to walk the bike....
