No ride today, headed on to NYC in the rain

I got up at 5:30 and had coffee and breakfast and pulled out the bike and before I got my camp broken down it started a light rain that continued for the rest of the day. I didn't get a ride but I did get a nice hike in the rain. I drove the route I had planned for the ride and it all worked out for the best. 48 degrees in the rain for 90 miles would not have been the best idea but I had a great day instead.

 When I got into New Jersey I was hungry and I am so glad that the vegetarian restaurant that google pointed me to was closed because that lead me to discover Frank Anthony's restaurant where I learned two things. First is that I now understand what all the fuss is about with jersey pizza and as this was the kid's pizza, I think I understand why Chris Christie is so huge. Not pictured is the awesome salad.

Siri took me straight to Matt and Trish's place in Brooklyn across from the Botanical Garden where I got the warmest and most loving welcome you can imagine. Matt is my brother Steve's son and one of my favorite people and he seems to have scored well with Trish. Their future is bright.
